Synopsis:

KEYWORD:  AFCEC_BECSRC

THIS IS A FINAL SOLICITATION.  

1.  This Final Solicitation notice is being posted for the purpose of obtaining proposals.  There is no entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges that arise as a result of the submission of a proposal in response to this notice.  The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information.  Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with applicable Government regulations.

2.  This requirement is to provide a full range of responsive environmental remediation actions necessary to protect human health & the environment.  It includes rapid response and removal of environmental media contaminations and site restoration activities located on Base Realignment and Closure Bases (BRAC) in EPA regions 1-4 (Eastern), 5-8 (Central), and 9&10 (Western).  The BRAC Environmental Construction and Services Requirements Contract (BECSRC) will include a 5 year ordering period with 24 additional months for performance completion of services.

3.  The purpose of soliciting and awarding this Requirements Contract is to have a tool in place for "pop-up" interim Environmental Remediation requirements.  "Pop-ups" are unplanned, out-of-cycle requirements that occur periodically, but erratically on installations included in the BRAC Program Management Division portfolio.  The BRAC Program Management Division, responsible for remediation and transfer of Air Force property affected by BRAC legislation, manages the disposal of Air Force property in accordance with BRAC law and the BRAC Master Plan to achieve early environmental resolution and early property disposal to return value to the Air Force and local communities. Requirements contracts are set up with one contractor to provide service (FAR 16.503). Generally speaking, an IDIQ obligates the Government to a minimum quantity/dollar amount at the time of award, while a Requirements Contract guarantees the contractor no such minimum.

4.  The contracting officer will conduct this source selection in accordance with the procedures indicated in Section M of the Solicitation.  While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process by its nature is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.  The contracting officer shall notify Offerors promptly in writing when their proposals are excluded from the competitive range or otherwise eliminated from the competition.  Evaluation Notices (ENs) will be sent to Offerors within the competitive range as needed. 

5.  All questions/comments pertaining to the Solicitation shall be provided to the Government within two weeks of Final Solicitation release.  Questions concerning the Solicitation and attachments are due by 12:00 PM CT on June 12, 2015 to:  rita.leal@us.af.mil and richard.compton.4@us.af.mil.

Any communications with the Government from the date of this solicitation through contract award shall be directed in writing to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), Ms. Dianna Saenz (dianna.saenz@us.af.mil) and to Contract Specialists, Ms. Rita Leal at rita.leal@us.af.mil, and Mr. Richard Compton III at richard.compton.4@us.af.mil.
