The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor/Hickam, Hawaii intends to award multiple contracts for Cultural Resource Management Services (NAICS 712120). This solicitation will be awarded as an unrestricted procurement with a partial small business set-aside that will result in the award of multiple award contracts that are comprised of two major divisions.

The contract’s partial Small Business Set Aside (SBSA) Division is established for competing projects funded by United States appropriations.

The work to be ordered under this contract will be performed predominantly in Guam, Hawaii, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The Government may also require cultural resource management services in support of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) at various locations within the NAVFAC Pacific area of cognizance (sites in the Pacific and Indian Oceans).

The multiple award contracts term for Cultural Resource Management Services consists of a base period of one year plus four option periods of one year each. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 712120 and the corresponding small business size standard is $7.5 million (which will determine eligibility for awards under the Small Business Set Aside (SBSA) Division).

The aggregate value or not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $36 million will apply to task orders awarded against all multiple award contracts (MACs), inclusive of option periods. A single, one-time minimum guarantee of $5,000 applies to each contract for the duration of the MAC. The estimated workload for the Unrestricted Division is approximately $10 million and the amount for the SBSA Division is approximately $26 million. These amounts may fluctuate with the potential need for the 20 types of specific services listed above and whether adequate competition exists within the SBSA Division and those firms are capable of successfully executing those services. If less than two firms awarded a contract in the SBSA Division submits a proposal in response to a task order request for proposal (RFP), the Contracting Officer may compete the task order amongst the Unrestricted Division contractors.



This procurement consists of a single solicitation with the intent to award a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of six (6) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type service contracts to the offerors whose proposals, conforming to the solicitation, will be the most advantageous to the Government resulting in the best value, price and technical factors considered.

The Government reserves the right to award more than six (6) contracts if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Successful awardees will compete for future work during the term of the multiple award contracts.



Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of price and technical factors. The technical evaluation factors will be 1) Experience of the Firm; 2) Small Business Utilization, comprised of Subfactor 2A) Past Performance in Utilization of Small Business Concerns; and Subfactor 2B) Small Business Participation; 3) Safety; 4) Sample Projects; and 5) Relevant Past Performance. Technical Factors 1, 2, 3 and 4 are considered of equal importance and when combined, approximately equal to Technical Factor 5.

Subfactor 2A is considered less important than Subfactor 2B. When combined, the technical evaluation factors will be considered significantly more important than price. The evaluation of the Price Factor will be based on two sample projects attached to the solicitation. Neither of the sample projects will be awarded.
