About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking architectural and engineering design services to relocate the Honolulu Weather Forecast Office and Central Pacific Hurricane Center to the Daniel K. Inouye Regional Center on Ford Island, Oahu, Hawaii. The project requires comprehensive design and management for remodeling the current fisheries library, including structural, electrical, HVAC, IT, and utility upgrades. Potential contractors must demonstrate the ability to independently perform at least 50% of the work and provide detailed qualifications in architectural and engineering design services. Evaluation criteria will include the firm's capability to conduct on-site visits, perform investigation surveys, and provide up to three examples of comparable previous work. Interested vendors must submit a five-page response by March 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and be registered in SAM.gov to be eligible for contract consideration.
The opportunity is set aside as a Competitive 8(a) procurement with a Small Business Size Standard of $11.0 Million under NAICS code 541310 for architectural design services. The contract will be structured as a hybrid Firm-Fixed-Price/Time and Materials type, with a one-year base period and two one-year option periods, potentially spanning a total of three years. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the project stems from the current NWS lease expiring on March 31, 2027, at the University of Hawaii-Manoa campus. The government intends to maximize use of existing equipment and systems within the Daniel K. Inouye Regional Center, with upgrades to match and supplement current infrastructure. Respondents must provide details about their business type, size, and specific capabilities in architectural and engineering design, with a focus on meeting the Honolulu Weather Forecast Office's Program of Requirements.
