This is a PRESOLICITATION notice of intent. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) intends to issue a solicitation for the operation of the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE).

The NDCEE supports environmental, energy, safety, and occupational health technology demonstration/validation of processes, practices, prototypes, proof-of-principle efforts, and technology transfer. The NDCEE functions as a national resource for the development and dissemination of state-of-the-art innovative environmental technologies and provides a means for transitioning those technologies as solutions for environmental problems in support of the Department of Defense (DOD), other Government agencies, and private industry needs.

The Government anticipates awarding multiple Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee and Firm Fixed Price task orders. The type will be determined based upon the work requirements of the individual task.

This requirement will be procured through full and open competition. All responsible sources may submit a proposal in response to the solicitation when it is released. Any award resulting from this solicitation will be based on the best overall (i.e. best value based on a tradeoff analysis) proposal that is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued via the Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) website, https://acquisition.army.mil/asfi/default.cfm to Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website at http://www.fbo.gov.
