1. PURPOSE AND DISCLAIMER

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office of Acquisition Services (OAS), on behalf of the Office of Safety, Security, and Asset Management (OSSAM), is conducting market research to identify capable small business concerns interested in and capable of supporting a Multiple-Award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (MA-IDIQ) contract for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) installation and related minor construction services.

The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to determine the availability and capability of small businesses, including:

• Small Business

• 8(a)

• HUBZone

• Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)

• Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB)

• Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

This market research will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy and potential set-aside approach at both the IDIQ and task order levels.

This notice is issued for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligation on the part of the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE

The Government anticipates establishing a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Multiple-Award IDIQ contract with an ordering period of up to five (5) years.

The MA-IDIQ will support a broad range of FF&E installation, facility renovation and repair, building finishing, and related specialty trade services.

Task orders may include either standalone FF&E requirements, standalone renovation/repair requirements, or integrated projects requiring both disciplines.

The Government anticipates a mix of task order requirements, including projects focused primarily on facility renovation and repair activities without FF&E elements.

Typical task order scope may include:

FF&E Related Services

• FF&E procurement support

• Furniture installation and integration

• Warehousing and storage

• Relocation and reconfiguration services

• Laboratory casework installation and repair

• Countertop and cabinetry installation

Facility Renovation and Repair Services

• Demolition and disposal

• Patch and paint

• Building finishing services

• Finish carpentry and millwork

• Electrical and low-voltage modifications

• Plumbing and HVAC adjustments

• Door and hardware installation

• Minor fire protection and fire alarm modifications

• Specialty trade coordination

Task Order Structure:

Individual task orders will generally be awarded to a single contractor responsible for overall project coordination and execution. Contractors may self-perform portions of the work and subcontract specialized trades as necessary.

The Government encourages respondents to identify:

• Which Area(s) of Emphasis they support

• Trades they can self-perform

• Existing subcontractor relationships

• Ability to coordinate multiple trades

• Willingness to participate in teaming arrangements or subcontracting relationships with other IDIQ contractors

• Willingness to collaborate, or sub-contract with other contractors within the IDIQ pool

Teaming arrangements are encouraged for projects requiring expertise across both Areas of Emphasis

Magnitude of Work

The majority of task orders are anticipated to be:

• At or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $350,000)

• Frequently under $100,000

Complexity and scope will vary depending on agency needs.

Bonding

Performance and payment bonds may be required at the individual task order level in accordance with FAR Part 28 and based on project scope and risk.

Respondents should identify:

• Single project bonding capacity

• Aggregate bonding capacity

• Surety information (if available)
