II.D. Technical Proposal The Technical Proposal shall include the information requested below for the non-price factors described in Section VI.

Factor 1 – Prior Experience on Relevant Projects

This factor will evaluate up to a maximum of five (5) relevant projects that the offeror has either completed or substantially completed within the past six (6) years of the proposal due date. The Government will examine the relevancy, complexity, and breadth of prior experience in performing a sample of projects similar in size and scope to those anticipated under the IDIQ contract. The government would prefer to see five

(5) projects submitted that demonstrate prior experience across the task order value range of the IDIQ ($350K to $10M), and that demonstrate breadth of overall general construction experience. Relevant Projects would be those construction projects with characteristics, including, but not limited to the following.

Projects must meet the following four (4) requirements to be considered minimally relevant for evaluation:

1. A discrete project (can not be an Base IDIQ contract, BPA or any other Master or “Mother” Contract; Task orders performed under IDIQ contracts, BPA’s or master/mother contracts are considered “discrete projects” and are acceptable.)

2. Substantially completed within the past 6 years of the proposal due date

3. *General Construction Services

4. Project Value between $350k and $10M.

Projects that do not meet these four requirements will not be considered or evaluated.

The following favorable characteristics, in no particular order, may be considered strengths and may increase the technical merit and ratings for the submitted projects.

● High degrees of complexity

● Experience working in technically complex environments (including, but not limited to laboratories & SCIF’s, high-security data handling (Data Centers), and critical infrastructure control systems)

● Performance in occupied buildings

● Performance on federally owned or federally leased buildings/locations

● Performance within the defined primary geographic area of the contract

● Performance as the prime contractor

● High Degree of Self-Performance

● Performance of GSA projects

● Experience with design-build projects

● Experience performing a Task Order against an IDIQ Contract

● Breadth of prior experience across the task order value range of the IDIQ ($350K to $10M)

● Breadth of overall general construction experience.

Note that these favorable characteristics may be considered strengths. Individual favorable characteristics may be considered strengths only after assessing the complete picture of the project, and the portfolio of projects submitted as a whole. This approach ensures that individual characteristics are not judged in isolation.

*General Construction Services for this solicitation include but are not limited to office construction and/or renovations/repairs, office space renovations, MEP (Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing) repairs/modifications/replacement, fire sprinkler systems repairs/modification/replacement, sitework, exterior construction repair and alterations (including facades and roofs), demolition (including abatement of hazardous materials), elevator modernizations, work in technically sensitive environments like laboratories, SCIF’s etc., work in high-security data centers and critical infrastructure control systems, construction work in high security buildings, as well as any other general construction activities.

Factor 1- Submission Requirement:

Using the Attachment B template, the offeror is requested to submit a detailed descriptive listing for up to a maximum of five (5) relevant projects either completed or substantially completed within the last six (6) years of the proposal due date that are similar in nature to the anticipated type of work to be performed under these IDIQ contracts, as described in this solicitation. If more than five (5) projects are submitted, only the first five (5) will be evaluated. For each project submitted, the Attachment B template shall not exceed three (3) pages. If more than three (3) pages are submitted, only the first three (3) pages will be evaluated.

Note: For purposes of evaluation, a “project” is defined as a contract, subcontract, task order, or other contractual vehicle in which the services were provided. A "project" is not an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, blanket purchase agreement, or other type of master contract. Offerors may not submit Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, blanket purchase agreements, or other types of master contracts for evaluation. They are not considered relevant projects for evaluation purposes, and will not be considered.

For joint ventures, projects may be submitted for the joint venture as an entity or for an individual member of the joint venture; more consideration will be given when a JV performed the project together as the JV. While the Government may consider the prior experience of managers, key personnel or other affiliates playing a significant role in contract performance, the total number of projects submitted is limited as stated above.

The offeror may submit no more than five (5) projects for the prime contractor team as a whole.

The offeror is required to submit sufficient information to allow the Government to assess the level of relevance and characteristics of the project. The detailed description submitted for each project should include, as a minimum, the following information:

12.Describe your role in the project (i.e. prime or subcontractor). If a subcontractor, identify the contract amount your firm performed for the project (This would obviously be a lesser amount than appears under item #5 above):

13.Describe the amount and type of work you performed with in-house forces (self-performed work) and the work that was accomplished by subcontractors:

14.Agency/Client/Owner Contact

Name:

Phone number:

e-mail address:

Secondary contact (if desired)

15.If you are proposing as a joint venture, indicate if this project was completed by the joint venture or not. If not, explain who completed the project. (Reminder- If you are proposing as a joint venture, you are required to provide a copy of the joint venture agreement.

Factor 2 - Past Performance on Relevant Projects

a. This factor will evaluate the quality of an offeror’s performance of projects similar in size, scope and complexity to those described in this solicitation.

b. The Offeror must submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

(included in the solicitation as Attachment A, completed by the applicable client, OR a final project CPARS evaluation, for each project included in its proposal for Factor 1- Prior Experience on Relevant Projects. Completed PPQs should be submitted with the proposal. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project before proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the project, although the government cannot guarantee we will be able to successfully contact the client/owner. If the client requests, the client may submit a questionnaire directly to the Government's point of contact, via email at jay.oxenberg@gsa.gov prior to proposal closing date. Offerors may resubmit questionnaires previously submitted with other proposals if the same PPQ template was used. Otherwise, offerors must obtain a new PPQ from a client for any submission. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.

c. The past performance of each of the projects submitted under Factor 1 will be evaluated.

d. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, any relevant past performance information for any projects submitted under Factor 1, and/or any other relevant projects, retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), including for any team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), previously submitted PPQ information, and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from a variety of sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. GSA will not maintain a database of PPQs submitted by Offerors.

e. Only Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) (included in the solicitation as Attachment A), completed by the applicable client, OR a final CPARS evaluation, for each project included in its proposal, is acceptable. No other past performance documentation (ie. other types of PPQ’s, letters, etc) for the submitted projects will be accepted.

f. The Government has no obligation to ensure that an equal number of references are obtained for each offeror.

Factor 2- Submission Requirement:

The Offeror must submit a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (included in the solicitation as Attachment A), completed by the applicable client, OR a final CPARS evaluation, for each project included in its proposal under Factor 1. There is no page limit for PPQ’s.

Factor 3- Project Bonding Capacity (go/no-go)– This is a go/no-go factor to assess the offeror’s ability to provide an offer guarantee and performance and payment bonds sufficient to cover the maximum estimated value of a single project under this IDIQ contract. For this procurement, the minimum amount to be covered by the bonding capacity is $10 million per project. This is NOT an aggregate amount. Failure to provide evidence of this required bonding capacity at time of proposal will render the proposal unacceptable and it will not be further evaluated.

The offeror must submit a Letter of Bonding Capacity/Bondability from an acceptable surety/bonding company at time of proposal submission. See submission requirement below.

Factor 3 - Submission Requirement:

The offeror must submit a Letter of Bonding Capacity/Bondability endorsed by an acceptable surety/bonding company at the time of proposal submission. For this procurement, the minimum amount to be covered by the bonding is $10 million per project. The documentation submitted shall be either:

1) A signed letter from a corporate surety company listed on the Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service website (Circular 570).

2) A signed letter from an authorized broker. The letter must be endorsed by a certified bonding company listed on the Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service website (Circular 570).

The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international -security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; and

(ii) No entity owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President's or Secretary of State's determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international -security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; or

__ (2) The Offeror is providing separate information with its offer in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this provision.

(c) Procedures for reviewing the annual unclassified report (see paragraph (b)(1) of this provision). For clarity, references to the report in this section refer to the entirety of the annual unclassified report, including any separate reports that are incorporated by reference into the annual unclassified report.

(1) Check the table of contents of the annual unclassified report and the country section headings of the reports incorporated by reference to identify the foreign countries listed there. Determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror may have engaged in any activity related to one or more of such foreign countries.

(2) If such activity might have occurred, review all findings in the report associated with those foreign countries to determine whether or not each such foreign country was determined to be in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or to be not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. For clarity, in the annual report an explicit certification of non-compliance is equivalent to a determination of violation.

However, the following statements in the annual report are not equivalent to a determination of violation:

(i) An inability to certify compliance.

(ii) An inability to conclude compliance.

(iii) A statement about compliance concerns.

(3) If so, determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or is a significant factor in the determination in the report that one or more of these foreign countries is in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. Review the narrative for any such findings reflecting a determination of violation or non-adherence related to those foreign countries in the report, including the finding itself, and to the extent necessary, the conduct giving rise to the compliance or adherence concerns, the analysis of compliance or adherence concerns, and efforts to resolve compliance or adherence concerns.

(4) The Offeror may submit any questions with regard to this report by email to NDAA1290Cert@state.gov. To the extent feasible, the Department of State will respond to such email inquiries within 3 business days.

(d) Do not submit an offer unless—

(1) A certification is provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision and submitted with the offer; or

(2) In accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this provision, the Offeror provides with its offer information that the President of the United States has

(i) Waived application under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(d) or (e); or

(ii) Determined under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(g)(2) that the entity has ceased all activities for which measures were imposed under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(b).

(e) Remedies. The certification in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If the Government later determines that the Offeror knowingly submitted a false certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, such as suspension or debarment, the Contracting Officer may terminate any contract resulting from the false certification.

Buy American Requirements

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN-CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (RFO-2025-25, 9/30/2025)

(Applies to Task Orders less than $6,683,000)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is–

(i) A commercial product (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition of “commercial product” at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means—

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph

(1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Critical component means a component that is mined, produced, or manufactured in the

United States and deemed critical to the U.S. supply chain. The list of critical components is at FAR 25.105.

Critical item means a domestic construction material or domestic end product that is deemed critical to U.S. supply chain resiliency. The list of critical items is at FAR 25.105.

Domestic construction material means—

(1) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both-

(i) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States; or

(ii) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if–

(A) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 60 percent of the cost of all its components, except that the percentage will be

65 percent for items delivered in calendar years 2024 through 2028 and 75 percent for items delivered starting in calendar year 2029. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic. Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign; or

(B) The construction material is a COTS item; or

(2) For construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all components used in such construction material. The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of "cost of components".

Fastener means a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

Foreign iron and steel means iron or steel products not produced in the United States.

Produced in the United States means that all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel must take place in the United States, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. The origin of the elements of the iron or steel is not relevant to the determination of whether it is domestic or foreign.

Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners.

Steel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between 0.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.

"United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy

American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the domestic content test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item, except that for construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, the domestic content test is applied only to the iron and steel content of the construction materials, excluding COTS fasteners. The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial product or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: None

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that-

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable.

(A) For domestic construction material that is not a critical item or does not contain critical components.

(1) The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 20 percent;

(2) For construction material that is not a COTS item and does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, if the cost of a particular domestic construction material is determined to be unreasonable or there is no domestic offer received, and the low offer is for foreign construction material that is manufactured in the United States and does not exceed 55 percent domestic content, the Contracting Officer will treat the lowest offer of foreign construction material that exceeds 55 percent domestic content as a domestic offer and determine whether the cost of that offer is unreasonable by applying the evaluation factor listed in paragraph

(b)(3)(i)(A)(1) of this clause.

(3) The procedures in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A)(2) of this clause will no longer apply as of

January 1, 2030.

(B) For domestic construction material that is a critical item or contains critical components.(1) The cost of a particular domestic construction material that is a critical item or contains critical…
