The Primary NAICS code is 236220 with a small business size of $36.5 million.

B. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS, CONTENT, AND FORMAT

The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of any responses to this solicitation. Oral explanations or instructions to offerors are not binding. Any information given to an offeror which impacts the solicitation and/or offer will be given in the form of a written amendment to the solicitation. Any and all amendments to the solicitation will be issued electronically via email. It is the offeror’s responsibility to acknowledge any and all amendments in its proposal submission.

Offerors should not modify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal or add conditions or qualifications to their offers. Should an offeror include terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, that offeror may be determined to be ineligible for award. Any questions related to specific terms and conditions contained within the solicitation should be resolved prior to submission of an offer. Notwithstanding the above, the offeror must clearly describe in its price proposal any modifications to the contractual and/or technical terms and conditions of the solicitation contained in its offer.

References to “confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the Government as part of the offeror’s technical proposal. Offerors that include information in their proposals that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must clearly mark their proposals in accordance with the instructions at FAR Clause 52.215‐1, Instructions to Offerors‐Competitive Acquisition, paragraph (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data. Use of the words “will”, “shall”, or “must” indicates a mandatory requirement for which failure to comply, at the time and date for submission of proposals, may result in the offeror’s proposal being disqualified from consideration for award. The Government may elect to initiate discussions with some or all of the offerors, thereby providing a means by which appropriate corrections by the offeror(s) involved can be made. Failure to comply with non‐ pricing or pricing requirements that are annotated with the words “should”, or “may” can result in a lowering of an offeror’s non‐pricing ratings, and may have a significant effect upon an offeror being selected for the contract award. Time periods, if stated as a number of days, are calendars days unless otherwise specified.

1. REQUIRED REGISTRATIONS

Failure to have an active and completed registration in any one of the following databases may determine an offeror ineligible for award and removed from competition. A successful offeror with incomplete or expired registrations at the time of award may not be eligible for a contract. In such instances, the Government will award to the next successful offeror who is eligible for award. The Government reserves the right to determine an offeror non‐responsible at any time after receipt of proposal if the offeror is found to be ineligible for installation access in accordance with CENTCOM Clause 5152.225‐5916, Mandatory Eligibility for Installation Access.

Information contained within an offeror’s registration must be current and valid. The responsibility of maintaining current information contained in an offeror’s registration rests solely on the offeror.

Proposals are due no later than the time and date stated in Block 13 of the SF1442 to the following email addresses:

Nikisha Cook Contract Specialist Office: (540) 723-4949 nikisha.w.cook@usace.army.mil

A. Late Proposals: Any proposal, modification, or revision received by the Government after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the contracting officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition, and (1) if it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, and it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 4:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or (2) there is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or (3) it is the only proposal received. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

B. SOLICITATION INQUIRIES

All offeror questions should be emailed to nikisha.w.cook@usace.army.mil. Responses to questions will be provided via an amendment to the solicitation.

C. AMENDMENTS TO THE RFP

Any and all amendments to the Volume I Request for Proposals will be issued electronically and be available via AMRDEC SAFE. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to continuously check for any amendments to this RFP and acknowledge any and all amendments in the text of the cover letter (amendment number and data acknowledged by Offeror) sent with their proposal package in response to this RFP.

D. Pre-Proposal Conference/Site Visit.

A site visit is not currently scheduled, however after the completion of Phase I a site visit will be planned and the information will be distributed to the offerors that are selected for Phase II.

E. DEBRIEFING OF UNSUCCESSFUL OFFERORS

https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe/ mailto:nikisha.w.cook@usace.army.mil

Unsuccessful Offerors will be notified in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.5. An unsuccessful Offeror may request a pre-award debriefing or a delayed debriefing after award by submitting a written request to the Contracting Officer within three (3) days after receipt of the notice excluding the Offeror from the competition and award. Offerors are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. No debriefing will be provided for those Offerors found non-responsive as a result of their base access ineligibility, as the non-responsive determination may have been made in advance of the Offeror’s technical proposal being evaluated.

F. BASIS OF AWARD

Award will be made to the single Offeror who represents the overall best value to the Government, taking into consideration the solicitation’s technical and price factors, and also who has been determined to be ‘responsible’ in accordance with FAR 9.1. The Government will utilize the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS/JCXS) to determine an Offeror’s qualification to compete for this requirement, and if allowed to compete, whether the firm is qualified to win award. A JCCS/JCXS report of the Offeror will be obtained at time of proposal evaluation, and also prior to contract award. A JCCS/JCXS report of an Offeror’s ineligibility to access installations in Afghanistan, will render the Offeror non-qualifying, and, thus, this Offeror’s proposal will not be evaluated

G. EVALUATION FACTORS

All of the submission items to be evaluated shall pertain to the prime offeror, whether a single contractor entity, partnership, or a joint venture, as seventy percent (70%) of work associated with this project is required to be self-performed.

Joint Ventures: A joint venture is defined as a legal business entity formed between two or more companies to undertake the performance activities of a contract together.

Offerors proposing as joint ventures shall provide evidence that the joint venture as a legal entity has been duly formed. Joint ventures shall include a copy of the legal joint venture agreement signed by an authorized officer from each of the firms comprising the joint venture, with the chief executive of each entity identified. The Government will not evaluate the capability of any firms that are not included in the joint venture agreement except to the extent they are a primary subcontractor as identified above.
