GSA PBS Region 10 - West Multiple Award Task Order Contract (West MATOC) Replacement

The GSA Northwest/Arctic Region, Public Buildings Service (PBS Region 10) is planning to solicit for one (1) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for construction projects in federally owned and leased facilities supported in the western geographic areas of Region 10. The geographical area includes federal owned and leased locations in a geographic area from north of Vancouver, WA; along the I-5 corridor up to the US-Canadian border; and East to the Cascade Mountain range with potential project locations including Tacoma and Seattle, Washington, and various Washington Land Port of Entry (LPOE) locations. 

Firms interested in participating in the solicitation for the GSA West MATOC IDIQ are requested to submit a response to this notice as described below. The responses will help GSA to determine the level of industry interest by socio-economic categories within the small business communities.

This procurement is anticipated to be assigned to North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The small business size standard is $39.5M (million).

This is NOT a solicitation. Information submitted to in response to this Sources Sought Notice is strictly voluntary. The Government will not award a contract based on this notice. This notice is a request by the Government to collect information from construction firms for the purpose of market research. Not providing a response to this notice will not prohibit or exclude a company from participating in any future solicitations.

GSA anticipates awarding between 5 and 6 separate contracts resulting from the solicitation. Total contract length will be five (5) years. Awarded contractors are expected to compete by participation in task order solicitations. Task Order solicitations will be issued by GSA offices assigned to the Acquisition Division within Region 10. Project delivery includes non-­complex construction, design-­bid­-build, and design-­build. Task orders will be issued as Firm Fixed Price (FFP).  Offerors awarded a contract are expected to participate in all Task Order Request for Proposals (TORFP’s) issued unless capacity would prevent successful project completion. 

The aggregate contract ceiling for this IDIQ is $50 million dollars. The Government makes no representation as to the number of Task Orders or actual amount of work to be ordered, however, a minimum of $2,500 is established as the minimum guarantee for the placement of the contract. Contractors participating in all TORFP’s, but which have not been awarded a TO in the first calendar year will be eligible to receive the funding for the minimum guarantee beginning in calendar year two (2). The “Order of Magnitude” for task orders is anticipated to range from $50,000 to the GSA current capital reinvestment threshold (“prospectus”), presently $3.375 million. Task Orders may not exceed $5 million per single contract.  The average Task Order is expected to have an Order of Magnitude of $50,000 - $250,000 with an estimated volume of 30 Task Orders per calendar year. Task Order solicitations will adhere to the competitive procedures outlined in FAR 16.5.
