Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A.1. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this acquisition is to provide services to safely locate; identify; recover;

evaluate; assess; package; transport; manage; and make final disposition, as required, of Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) at various currently and formerly used defense sites, property adjoining currently and formerly used defense sites, and other federally controlled/owned sites.

A.2. CONTRACT TYPE: The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contracts to small businesses. The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to all qualifying offerors as stated in FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii). Work will be performed at diverse locations throughout the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, outlying areas (as defined by FAR 2.101), and U.S. Territorial waters (as defined in 46 U.S.C. 70054(2)).

This requirement will be competed on an 100% small business set-aside and will result in a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The work is Service Contract Labor Standards type efforts and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 562910 (Exception) – Environmental Remediation Services. In the event there are staggered awards during the MATOC award, later awarded contracts will have an initial period of performance that will be less than the full base period in duration and will end on the same date as all other MATOC awardees. Option periods will be the same for all awardees. The MATOC will consist of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs). The cost CLIN shall not exceed 10% of the total contract value. The contractor must have an approved accounting system to propose on task orders with CPFF

CLINS.

A.3. CONTRACT CAPACITY: The total shared capacity for the MATOC is $960 Million with a period of performance that includes one 2-year base and four 2-year option periods, for a total of ten (10) years (if all options are exercised) for this acquisition. Values provided under the CLINS represent the estimated capacity only and the Government reserves the unilateral right to move capacity between CLINs and performance periods as necessary.

Pricing is at the task order (TO) level only.

A.4. MINIMUM GUARANTEE: The Government’s minimum guarantee of $3000.00 extends throughout the entire period of performance of the IDIQ. Funding for this minimum guarantee is obligated on the first TO and is the minimum ordering amount; not a minimum payment. Payment under the subsequent TO award(s) in an amount meeting/exceeding the minimum guarantee satisfies the minimum guarantee. The initial task order is then deobligated and closed out.

A.5. ON-RAMP/OFF-RAMP: The Government will evaluate the market to determine if it is in the Government’s interest to award contracts to additional qualified contractors. During a contract on-ramp, the Government will advertise, accept and evaluate new proposals with the intention of adding contracts. These proposals will be subject to substantially the same proposal instructions and evaluation procedures as contained in the original solicitation.

Any new contracts considered for award will be treated as a staggered award(s). During a contract “off-ramp”, the Contracting Officer may elect to remove firms from the MATOC that have poor performance or have failed to submit acceptable proposals for any of the projects for which they were qualified. Previously awarded task orders will be unaffected by on/off ramp actions taken to refresh the MATOC suite.

A.6. DORMANT STATUS: Due to extenuating circumstances (not related to performance), contractors can request to be placed in a dormant status. Contractors in dormant status cannot compete in new TO solicitations; however, they may continue to work on awarded TOs. Dormant status is granted for a defined finite time period, after which it will lift, and the contractor will be expected to compete. A contractor who is in dormant status cannot be “Off- Ramped.”

A.7. CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION: The only authorized ordering office is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Engineering and Support Center. Other agencies may be delegated this authority, in which case, an advance written notice will be given to the contractor. In addition to, or in lieu of mailing an order, the Contracting Officer may issue an order orally, by facsimile or by electronic commerce methods, at his/her discretion.

Only a warranted Contracting Officer acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

A.8 SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS/INFORMATION: Proposal submission shall be submitted per the instructions at Section L. There will be no preproposal conference or site visits for this acquisition; however, questions relative to this solicitation shall be submitted in accordance with (IAW) with the instructions in Section L.

Competition for inclusion in the MATOC suite will be sought, promoted, and sustained by querying the System for Award Management (SAM), synopsizing proposed actions, and posting the solicitation in the Government-wide point of entry website (https://sam.gov/). Offerors must be registered in SAM to be eligible for award IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.204-7. In the event there are staggered awards during the MATOC award, later awarded contracts, will have an initial period of performance that will be less than the full base period in duration and will end on the same date as all other MATOC awardees. Offerors shall post questions and/or comments using ProjNet per instructions stated in Section L, Paragraph C.

Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices

Section B will remain blank during the solicitation. The section will be completed in its entirety at time of contract award by the Contracting Officer. Capacity is shared between MATOC holders. Individual capacities will not be assigned to each contract.

The Government defines the completion of a Performance Based Milestone/Objective as: an outcome that has been 100% completed and approved and accepted by the approval authority under the Task Order/Contract. Simply meeting the Milestone/Objective, (i.e., submittal of a document for review) is not the same as completion of the Milestone/Objective. Only upon the completion, approval, and acceptance will the Government pay for that Milestone/Objective.

2.10 A Performance Work Statement (PWS) for a Task Order will to every extent possible:

– Define desired results/outcomes.

– Define what level of performance is expected (and ensure it is meaningful, measurable, and fair) and use performance standards and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans (QASP) (Exhibit 2).

– Provide all information known about the site(s), or where it can be located and accessed by the Contractor.

– Define the terms using clear and concise language avoiding vague or broad statements.
