About this file
Amendment 03 is a questions and answers document for the NESDIS Architectural and Engineering IDIQ solicitation (REQUIREMENTS-24-1827), addressing 15 clarifying inquiries from potential offerors. Key clarifications include: confirmation that projects with completed design can be submitted, subconsultant projects are acceptable, the required number of projects is 3-5, and the standard page format is 8.5"x11". The government specified that blast resistance design is not a structural engineering requirement, no sample contract will be provided, and no further solicitation deadline extensions are anticipated beyond the May 05, 2025 10:00 am EDT submission deadline. Responses consistently direct offerors to follow the original pre-solicitation notice requirements, providing minimal additional guidance beyond direct questions about submission parameters.

1. I wanted to reach you regarding the proposed NESDIS SSMC1 Building IDIQ project in Silver Spring, MD. Has a Geotechnical investigation already been performed at the site, or will you be accepting proposals for this in the coming weeks/months? Similarly, do you have a timeline for breaking ground and hiring Testing & Inspection services?
Answer: NESDIS is not looking for SSMC1 building Geotechincal services under this contract.

7. Please confirm “work completed” is defined as design completed. Please confirm example projects may include projects where design is completed and construction is ongoing, and will count as a completed example project.
Answer: If the project planning and design is completed and accepted by the client, it is considered work complete for A/E firm.
8. In the Instructions to Offerors under 3.

Include customer references and building owner/representative contact details who can speak to the quality of services provided.” Please confirm if you are requiring Offerors to supply contact information only (name, phone, email, etc.) for the customer and building/owner references, or is there a Past Performance Review form that must be submitted?
Answer: Either or both information are acceptable.
9. Will projects with design completed be considered?
Answer: Yes.
