Acquisition Approach

NAICS – 541330, Engineering Services Small Business Size Standard – Cannot exceed $14 million in annual receipts.

Contract Type – multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts; also known as the Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) Task orders (individual projects) will issued to the MATOC holders in accordance with FAR 36.6 and EP 715-1-7, using the fair opportunity process, subject to ordering procedures outlined in FAR 16.505 One Unrestricted synopsis with awards and task orders reserved for small businesses. Small businesses may also be considered on task orders not reserved for small businesses.

The synopsis will specify the circumstances for reserving a task order award for small businesses.

If a small business is merged with or acquired by a large business during the life of the contract, the firm must provide timely notice of its acquisition in accordance with 13 C.F.R. Sec. 121.404(g)(2) and must either recertify to the agency its small business size status or must inform the agency that it is other than small.

A small business that becomes other than small will no longer be solicited for those Task Orders that are reserved for small businesses but will be solicited for any Task Orders that are competed among all multiple award ID/IQ contract holders.

Ordering Period – the length of time during which the Government may award individual task orders Base period of one year, plus four one-year option periods, for a potential total ordering period of five years

Capacity – $249 Million of estimated in shared contract capacity For administration purposes any awarded contracts will all show a capacity of $249M

Target Awards – Six responsible firms 3 large businesses and 3 small businesses The Government reserves the right to make staggered awards.

The Government also reserves the right to award more, less or none at all

Administration The Government is under no obligation to issue any orders against this contract in excess of the minimum guaranteed amount (will be specified in the RFPP) The only authorized ordering office is the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville. Other agencies may be delegated this authority, in which case an advance written notice will be given to the Contractor.

Regulatory Guidance FAR 36.6 Architect-Engineer Services EP 715-1-7 dated 29 Feb 12

Current Contracts

Contract Awards Current generation MATOC was awarded at Huntsville Center utilizing staggered awards in September 2009, November 2009 and January 2010 One base year and four one year options. Option Year 4 ends September 2014

A-E Process

SYNOPSIS

Typical 30 day posting that requesting a technical submittal (SF 330) and details regarding that process Question & Answer period Submittal of SF 330 by date and time specified

EVALUATION

Pre-Selection Board Evaluates proposals to determine the highly qualified firms that will be recommended for further evaluation by the SSEB The firms that demonstrate higher aggregate qualifications relevant to the primary selection criteria are considered highly qualified firms The pre-selection board will not be restricted to a specific or max number of firms for referral to a selection board.

EVALUATION

Selection Board Evaluates the highly qualified firms identified by the pre-selection board Firms that demonstrate higher aggregate qualifications relevant to the primary selection criteria are considered to be the most highly qualified firms Interviews will be held with all of the most highly qualified firms and asked similar questions related to the announced selection criteria.

After interviews the most highly qualified firms will be ranked in order of preference using the primary selection criteria and information obtained from the interviews Secondary selection criteria will only be used as a tiebreaker criteria

*Note that receiving an interview does not guarantee that your firm will be issued a RFPP

SELECTION

Request for Price Proposal (RFPP) Issued to highest qualified firms in order of ranking DCAA Audits if not recently performed Cost Evaluation Negotiations Contract Award

DCAA Audit Process The Government reserves the right to refer the firm’s price proposal to the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) for a rate audit Will be conducted by the firm’s cognizant DCAA field office Submitting firms are encouraged to refer to DCAA’s “Information for Contractors” that can be found at www.dcaa.mil

Steps of the audit process Step 1: Government will forward price proposal to cognizant DCAA field office Step 2: DCAA will perform an adequacy review of the proposal to determine if audit can proceed. If inadequate the proposal will be returned to the contractor with a list of correctable actions to take Step 3: DCAA will conduct a full rate audit of the firm’s direct and indirect rates Step 4: The Government will receive the audit report and determine whether to enter negotiations with the firm

*Note that receiving a DCAA audit does not guarantee your firm an award

Negotiations The Government will only negotiate with firms that are sent the RFPP

Agreement on direct labor and overhead rates is the central issue negotiating an ID/IQ contract

Direct labor and overhead rates are negotiable. Verification of the labor and overhead rates by audit does not mean that they are reasonable

If an agreement cannot be reached the Government can elect to terminate negotiations and issue a RFPP to the next most highly qualified firm

Questions Submit questions via the ProjNet website at www.projnet.org You will have to register if you have never done so before

Bidder Inquiry Key will be released in the synopsis

Answers will be posted to www.fbo.gov and may result in amendments to the synopsis

** No questions will be accepted via email or by phone. Individual meetings with firms will not be scheduled.

**All official information related to this acquisition will be posted to www.fbo.gov

Who May Apply:

Any firm permitted by law to practice architecture and/or engineering work in at least one state, territory, or jurisdictions of the United States as required by FAR 36.601-4(b)

Contractor arrangement Sole contractor Joint Venture (JV) Prime contractor with team member subcontractor(s)

Small Business Jobs Act

Under section 1331 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Jobs Act) the Government has reserved awards and task orders for small businesses

Instead of two separate pools the Government will issue a single Unrestricted synopsis

FAR 52.219-14, Limitations in Subcontracting will still apply to prime small business contractors

Task Order (TO) Selection:

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505 (b)(1)(iii) requires TO exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $150,000) to be competed among the base contract holders.

That process includes providing all firm notice of the intent to purchase, a clear description of the work to be performed, the basis of the selection for award, allowing all contractors to submit an offer, and fairly considering that offer. See FAR 16.505 (b)(1)(iii)(B)(1)-(2).

Brooks Acts requires selection of A/E contracts to be based on qualifications, not price.

TO Selection (Continued):

To comply with FAR and Brooks Act, the government will send out a notice of an upcoming procurement that will describe the work to be performed, how selection will be made, and allow the base contract holders to update their SF 330s

The Government will then review the updated SF 330s (or the 330s on file if an A/E firm chooses not to update) and select the A/E firm based on the qualifications of the firm as it relates to the work to be performed

Some Helpful Hints

Don’t have any deficiencies in your proposal The Government will not enter negotiations with a firm whose proposal contains a deficiency.

A deficiency is a failure to meet a material requirement of the synopsis.

What is a material requirement of the synopsis?

Those items that says the firm shall, will, or must do something or otherwise indicates that it is not discretionary to do something, are requirements of the solicitation. If it is substantive, it is a material requirement.

Example: “Proposal shall be submitted in three ring binders.” “Proposal shall use no smaller than 10 pt. font.”

Assumptions: Caveats or assumptions included in your proposal have a high likelihood of rendering the proposal deficient.

Frequent Mistakes

Firm must be licensed as an A-E if required by state, not just the principal

Small business prime firm must demonstrate the ability to perform 50% of the total contract value

JV teams must provide actual rates from the JV members for auditing and negotiating purposes, not an averaged or blended rate

Experience is what work that the firm has completed. Past performance is how well the firm performed that work.

Read the synopsis and criteria thoroughly and provide all information required

Small Business Issues

Agenda Size Affiliates Joint Venture Teaming Agreement Evaluation – SB Participation Subcontracting Limitations on Subcontracting

NAICS and Size Standard NAICS for acquisition: 541330, Engineering Services Size Standard: $14M Size includes “affiliates” A Joint Venture (JV) is a small business (SB) concern when the combined revenue of all joint venture partners does not exceed the SB size standard.

JV size exemption for a “Large” Procurement Procurement is bundled; or It is a “large” procurement (i.e. dollar value of acquisition is exceeds ½ of the size standard) Then JV is Small if EACH joint venture partner is small.

Affiliates An affiliate has common controls, common ownership, common management JV are affiliates 2 types of Affiliation On-going (general) For a specific procurement

Joint Venture Defined in 13 CFR 121.103(h) A JV is an association of individuals and/or concerns with interests in any degree or proportion consorting to engage in and carry out no more than 3 specific or limited-purpose business ventures for joint profit over a 2-year period, for which purpose they combine their efforts, property, money, skill, or knowledge, but not on a continuing or permanent basis.

A JV cannot be awarded more than 3 contracts over a 2-year period, starting from the date of the submission of the 1st offer. (Otherwise, it will be determined to have a general affiliation.)

Joint Venture (continued) Must be in writing Must do business in its own name May be in the form a legal entity and have its own employees, but it is not required.

8(a) 8(a) JV must be approved by the SBA In an unpopulated JV (one without its own employees, 8(a) JV must perform 40% of the work done by the JV and must not be simply administrative functions. [Source: 13 CFR 124.513(d)] 8(a) mentor-protégé JVs are considered small as long as the 8(a) protégé is small for the procurement.

HUBZone A HUBZone may only JV with another HUBZone concern to be considered a HUBZone concern However, the JV itself need not be certified as a HUBZone HUBZone JVs offering on a “large” procurement can qualify as small as long as each HUBZone partner is small for the acquisition.

Limitation on Subcontracting applies to the aggregate effort of JV HUBZone mentor and protégé will not be found affiliated when the mentor-protégé relationship is Federally approved.

HUBZone mentor can subcontract to its protégé

SDVOSB

SDVOSB can JV with 1 or more SBs SDVOSB JVs are considered affiliated unless they are offering on a “large” procurement Limitation on contracting applies to the aggregate JV work.

An individual SDVOSB can fulfill the Limitations on subcontracting by using other SDVOSB subcontractors

ED/WOSB

WOSB/EDWOSB JVs are affiliated unless offering on a “large” procurement The WOSB/EDWOSB participant in the JV must be designated in CCR and ORCA as WOSB/EDWOSB JV must provide a written JV agreement to the Contracting Officer (KO) containing the elements of 13 CFR 127.506 Limitation on Subcontracting applies to the aggregate JV work

Teaming Agreement Can be a JV Can be a prime/sub relationship

JV or Prime/Sub Teaming Agreement?

Determined by:

Language in the teaming agreement Proposal Wording Reliance on Bonding Who is in Control or Managing the Contract Clear Delineation of Work Role in Pursuit of a Contract Whether the Subcontractor was the Incumbent

Several factors are used to determine whether a teaming agreement is considered a JV by SBA.

SBA used to use a “7 factor test” – which is no longer used.

Evaluation of Proposals Small Business (SB) Participation is a secondary evaluation factor …

BUT

Large Businesses (LBs) may be evaluated for their past performance in achieving their subcontracting goals in the “Past Performance” evaluation factor

All firms will submit a SB Participation Proposal SBs can include their contract performance in the %s to be completed by SB in their SB Participation Proposal

Subcontracting LBs will be required to submit a subcontracting plan Resulting contracts will include FAR clause 52.219-16, Liquidated Damages LBs contractors will be required to submit subcontracting reports in accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.219-9 Success in achieving SB Subcontracting goals will be evaluated as part of the Contracting Performance Appraisal.

Limitations on Subcontracting For the Small Business Set Aside (SBSA) reserve, FAR 52.219-14, Limitations of subcontracting applies 50% of work performed by prime contractor

SB “Graduation” Under SB Jobs Act of 2010, SBs who become large can compete on the unrestricted task order solicitations on the MATOC
