1.0 Purpose

This Statement of Objectives (SOO) describes the basic outcomes for the construction of a new warehouse addition for COVID-19 response, which consists of the acquisition of a pre-engineered metal building, site preparation, installation of the pre-engineered metal building, and ancillary services. The Statement of Objectives is provided in lieu of a Government written Statement of Work (SOW). This approach provides potential offerors the flexibility to develop cost effective solutions and the opportunity to assess the offeror’s understanding of all aspects of the effort to be performed by eliminating the “how to” instructions to accomplish the required effort normally contained in the SOW provided by the Government.
