About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is seeking a contractor to establish accurate Construction Cost Data Special Location Factors for its Facility Budget Estimating System (FBES) across the Lower 48 States and Alaska. The primary objective is to develop location-specific factors that adjust base construction unit costs to reflect geographic variations in construction expenses, utilizing the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service (MVS) as the primary reference source. Contractors must obtain an MVS subscription and conduct comprehensive market research to develop Special Location Factors Reports for fiscal years 2026-2030. The solicitation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, with technical and past performance factors rated as acceptable/unacceptable. Proposals are due by June 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, to be submitted electronically to matt.sanders@ihs.gov.
The contract is an unrestricted procurement under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) with a $25.5M size standard, allowing all firms meeting registration requirements in SAM.gov to submit proposals. The contract structure includes a base year and four option years, with task orders issued at the start of each option year to fund annual requirements. Firms will be compensated through a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Requirements type service contract, with performance to be conducted in Seattle, WA 98104. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the contract aims to help IHS accurately budget construction projects by developing location factors that range from 1.31 to 3.89 compared to a national average, accounting for variations in material costs, labor rates, local tax structures, and regional economic factors. The total contract duration spans from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2030, providing a comprehensive approach to construction cost estimation for IHS facilities.
Notice text
The Contractor shall establish accurate Construction Cost Data Special Location Factors for use in the Indian Health Service’s (IHS) Facility Budget Estimating System (FBES). These Location Factors are located within the Lower 48 States and Alaska.
Special Location Factors are used within the FBES to account for the variation in construction costs in different geographic locations. Each geographic location where IHS facilities are located and constructed has its own location factor and represents a deviation from a national average. When estimating the construction cost for a specific project in a specific location, the FBES adjusts the base unit construction costs (the cost per square foot to construct various kinds of IHS facilities) by multiplying them by the location factor wherein the project is located.
The primary source of Standard Location Factors is the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service (MVS) Section 99, Local Multipliers Data. The MV factors for Class A construction are used for this purpose. The Contractor will need to obtain a subscription to the MVS reference books in order to complete the work.
Contractor shall conduct the necessary market research for development of the Special Location Factors Report for the Lower 48 and Alaska areas for the base year (FY26) and for each option year (FY27 - FY30). Unless prior approval is obtained, travel will not be expected nor required.
This acquisition is being solicited as Unrestricted. All firms that perform work under NAICS 541330, Engineering Services, may submit proposals under this solicitation, regardless of business size, as long as that firm has also registered in SAM.gov. The size standard for NAICS 541330 is $25.5M.
This synopsis/solicitation is for a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Requirements type service contract that includes a base year and four option years. A Task order will be issued at the start of each option year to fund the yearly requirement and performance will proceed for that option year.
