A&E ID/IQ Services

Added: Apr 29, 2016 12:15 pm Modified: May 27, 2016 9:05 amTrack Changes The 496th Air Base Squadron at Morón Air Base, Spain has a requirement for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multi-discipline Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services contract.

The intent is to award three (3) IDIQ contracts, but the Government reserves the right to award less than three (3) or more than three (3). The duration of the contract will be one (1) base year with four (4) one-year options which may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. The Government will award A-E design projects by issuing Firm-Fixed- Price (FFP) individual task orders (TO) to the contractor as requirements are identified by the 496th ABS/CE office during the contract period. The minimum Task Order amount is $500.00 and the maximum Task Order amount is $350,000.00.

No contract for construction of any project shall be awarded to the firm, subsidiaries, or affiliates that designed the project. Prior to contract award, the selected firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. Failure to register may render the firm ineligible for award. If already registered, ensure representations and certifications in SAM are current.

In an effort to eliminate conflict of interest issues, the Government may award an IDIQ contract to a prime contractor and their first level subcontractor and/or team members, but not to both. For example, a prime contractor, first level subcontractor and/or team members who were selected for one A/E contract will not be considered for another A/E contract. The separation of contracts is intended to mitigate conflict of interest issues with competing A/E firms.

Due to the overseas location of this solicitation, no Small Business set-aside will be used. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for this acquisition are 541330, 541310, and 541690.

LOCAL SOURCES ARE THOSE SOURCES NORMALLY RESIDENT, LICENSED AND REGISTERED TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IN SPAIN. OFFERS FROM NON-LOCAL SOURCES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED UNDER THIS SOLICITATION.
