REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)/SOURCES SOUGHT (SS)

DENSE-GRADED BASALT AGGREGATE BASE COURSE, DELIVERED

This Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought (SS) is issued by the Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC), 766th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (766 ESS). This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP). No contract award will be made on the basis of any response to this notice.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research before issuing a potential solicitation. The Government seeks information regarding commercial availability, small-business capability, material compliance, and delivery capacity for the requirement described below.

Responses will be used to assess the feasibility of the requirement, identify capable sources, determine the appropriate socioeconomic acquisition strategy, and refine solicitation terms and delivery requirements. The Government is not requesting cost or price data through this notice.

Responses received will be used for informational purposes only. This announcement does not constitute a Request for Quotations and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a purchase order or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Any costs incurred by the respondent associated with providing information in response to this announcement shall be borne solely by the respondent and shall not be payable by the Government. The Government does not intend to award a purchase order on the basis of this notice.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: The Government is seeking information from sources capable of furnishing and delivering approximately 1,000 short tons of 1.5-inch (37.5 mm nominal maximum) dense-graded basalt aggregate base course to the Tinker Bridge Bypass Corridor, Bellows Air Force Station (BAFS), Waimanalo, Hawaii. This is a commercial supply requirement with incidental delivery. Government personnel will perform spreading, shaping, moisture conditioning, and compaction.

The aggregate must comply with ASTM D2940/D2940M and Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) Highways Division Standard Specifications, Section 703.06. The contractor would be responsible for furnishing the material, quarry weighing, hauling, tailgate dumping or stockpiling at Government-designated locations, certified scale tickets for each load, and a current certified quarry quality-control sieve analysis. Sources may be quarry producers, suppliers, or distributors if they can furnish compliant material from a qualified quarry and meet the delivery requirement.

ANTICIPATED CONTRACT: The Government anticipates a one-time firm-fixed-price commercial supply purchase order. Delivery is anticipated to begin within five calendar days after award, at approximately 100–150 short tons per business day for 7–10 consecutive business days, and be complete no later than 15 business days after initial delivery. Delivery schedules would be coordinated at least 48 hours in advance with the Government technical point of contact. The anticipated delivery/staging location is the Tinker Bridge Bypass Corridor, BAFS, Waimanalo, HI 96795.

The results of this RFI/SS will be used to identify competition, capable potential sources, and small-business set-aside opportunities to the maximum extent practicable.

BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD: The anticipated NAICS code is 212319, Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying. The associated size standard is 550 employees.

INFORMATION REQUESTED: Interested parties shall provide responses in the same numerical order below. Responses should be limited to two pages, excluding product literature and supporting technical documentation.
