The Request for Proposal (RFP)/Solicitation to provide non-personal, healthcare housekeeping and related services in support of multiple Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) in the health service area of Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center (CRDAMC) to include MTFs located in Fort Hood, TX; Copperas Cove, TX, and Killeen, TX. This acquisition is solicited as an 8(a) set-aside under other than full and open competition in accordance with FAR Subpart 6.204(a). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this solicitation is 561720. This solicitation will be awarded using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation criteria. The agency proposes to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under which Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task orders for healthcare housekeeping services will be issued. An IDIQ contract is the optimum contract type for this effort as an exact quantity and/or appropriate categorization of services (Type Ill, IV, V, etc.) cannot be determined on a MTF-specific, individual room basis at the time of contract award. The resultant FFP task orders issued against the IDIQ will clearly describe CRDAMC MTF-specific healthcare housekeeping requirements and services to be performed and provide for prices that will not be subject to any adjustment on the basis of the 8(a) contractor's cost experience in performing this contract. All services shall be firm-fixed price and subject to the Service Contract Act (41 U.S.C. 351). The solicitation and subsequent contract will include contract line items (CLINS) with 5-year ordering periods. The anticipated IDIQ contract will obligate the government to the minimum guarantee of $1,500.00 for post-award conference. The entire amount of the minimum guarantee will be obligated against FY 15 funds. Further obligations will arise as task orders are awarded and obligations will be charged to the fiscal year in which the order is placed. Healthcare housekeeping services are required for 60 months starting 1 July 2015 through 30 June 2020. All elements of the RFP shall be submitted by the Offeror with a proposal no later than the date/time shown in block 8 of the Standard Form (SF) 1449, Solicitation/Contract Order for Commercial Items. The square feet (SF) for cleaning of each MTF is varied; however, the estimated SF for CRDAMC MTFs is 1,663,626 SF.
