Brokerage Services Synopsis

The Overseas Buildings Operations, U.S. Department of State (DoS) intends to perform a full and open competition for Brokerage Services to provide a variety of real estate services all over the world.  Services will be on an as needed basis, as described below.  The Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will direct said services, and said services will be specifically described in future Requests for Proposals (RFP’s) for task orders.  Services may be required in one or more locations at the same time.

The Department of State’s (DOS) portfolio includes undeveloped land, offices, warehouses, recreational, residential (single and multi-family), motor vehicle, and mixed-use facilities, related to the U.S. Government’s (USG’s) overseas mission.

Assignments may be located in nearly every country throughout the world.

Services include the preparation of oral, narrative or form appraisals and advisory reports concluding to an estimate or range of value, rent studies, reports on real estate market trends, highest and best use studies, feasibility studies, property searches, office and residential rent surveys, tenant and buyer representation services, negotiation support services and other real estate services as needed.  Additional services that may be requested include quickly developed value estimates, with little or no supporting documentation provided.

DoS plans to award multiple Firm-Fixed price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for a two year base (each contract shall be effective on the date of the Contracting Officer's signature, and shall remain in effect for two years from the period of performance of the contract)and (3) three one-year option years.  The IDIQ awards will be made to the responsive offerors whose proposals conform to the solicitation, and will offer the “Best Value” to the government, whereas technical factors are more important than cost. One or more awards will be set aside for small business should a small business be found capable. To qualify as a small business under the NAICS code, 531320, the small business size is the average annual receipts of no more than $7.5M.
