The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Little Rock District is seeking information for a requirement for the initial outfitting (IO) of the Intrepid Spirit Center on Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

This project will support an Initial Outfitting (IO) project (i.e. equipment and furnishings procurement, installation, and transition) for Air Force. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF) has donated a satellite building of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (Walter Reed) to the Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

The Facility will provide clinical space to support Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Diagnosis and treatment. The IFHF will provide the facility as well as some furniture and equipment for initial outfitting. The DoD is responsible for site preparation, utility connections and any equipment or furniture beyond the gifted amount necessary to become fully mission capable. This project will focus on the Initial Outfitting of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE).

The IO contract award will be in FY20 to support commodity validation and transition alongside the general construction contractor. Commodity delivery and installation will take place once the Air Force customer has possession of the facility and before its planned Open for Business Date.

The scope of Initial Outfitting project is as follows: transition services will validate the layout of furniture, medical equipment, and artwork to include new and reuse commodities. In addition, transition services will plan the departmental moves, disposition services, and any ribbon cutting ceremonies and/or public relations support that is desired.

The scope of work also includes, but is not limited to, Initial Outfitting - Transition (IO-T) activities such as taking inventory of all existing systems and commodities, conducting user interviews, then planning and developing the requirements for all new and reuse commodities. IO-T also includes managing the phasing and transition activities, relocation, space planning and public relations planning.

Initial Outfitting - Commodities (IO-C) activities include ordering, purchasing, delivering, installing, certifying, training and warranting all commodities identified in the IO-T process as well as public relations materials and events.
