A sources sought notice for this requirement was posted under solicitation N6945018RTENN on April 25, 2018 requesting 8(a) small business industry interest and capability statement. A second sources sought notice was posted under solicitation N6945018MDSTH on September 13, 2018 requesting small business industry and capability statement.

Based on the responses from both notices, it was determined that the requirement should be issued as a total small business set-aside. The NAVFAC SE Small Business Office concurs with this determination.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued as a total small business set-aside. All responsible small businesses with the specialized experience and qualifications required by the solicitation may submit a proposal to be considered by the agency. The NAICS code for this IDIQ FFP MACC solicitation is 236220 with a size standard of $36,500,000.

Construction projects to be performed will primarily consist of general building type projects, (new construction, renovations, alterations, demolition, roofing, repair work) including industrial, infrastructure, administrative, training, dormitory and community support facilities.
