Added: Aug 02, 2010 11:00 am Combined Synopsis/Solicitation NoticeSolicitation No. NNK11352006Telephone or facsimile questions will not be accepted.This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Electrical Design and EngineeringServices related to NASA program requirements at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC),Florida; Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida; and Vandenberg Air Force Base(VAFB), California. The acquisition is being conducted in accordance with the Brooks Actas implemented in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.6.This is a request for Standard Form (SF) 330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications forDesign, Engineering, and other Professional Services Required to Demolish, Rehabilitate,Modernize, or Provide New Electrical Facilities and Systems. The design project siteswill be primarily located at KSC and CCAFS with a minimal number located at other KSCsupport centers including VAFB. This synopsis/solicitation specifies the Government's requirement. There is no separatesolicitation package. This solicitation is not a small business set-aside; it will be conducted under full andopen competition procedures allowing maximum participation from large and smallbusinesses. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541330. The Government intends to award one or two Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)contracts under this solicitation. Work will be issued as fixed-price task orders underthe IDIQ contracts. Each awarded contract will have a five year ordering period with aminimum value of $10,000 which represents the minimum value of work the Government isrequired to order and the contractor(s) shall deliver under the IDIQ contract. Themaximum quantity the Government may order and the contractor(s) may deliver for theElectrical Design and Engineering Services will be $10,000,000 over the five yearordering period. Task orders issued against the IDIQ contract(s) prior to theirexpiration may extend for up to one year beyond the ordering period of the IDIQcontracts. In the event two Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts areawarded, task orders will be competed between the two successful contract holders, seeFAR Subpart16.505(b). The placement of orders will be consistent with FAR 36.6. Inaccordance with FAR Clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, large businesseswill be required to provide subcontracting plans prior to receipt of individual taskorders expecting to exceed $550,000 and having subcontracting opportunities.FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations (Oct 1995) (a) Minimum order. When the Government requires supplies or services covered by thiscontract in an amount of less than $10,000 , the Government is not obligated to purchase,nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those supplies or services under thecontract.(b) Maximum order. The Contractor is not obligated to honor --(1) Any order for a single item in excess of $1,000,000 ;(2) Any order for a combination of items in excess of $3,000,000.00 ; or(3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within 365 days that together callfor quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section.(c) If this is a requirements contract (i.e., includes the Requirements clause atsubsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)), the Government is notrequired to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirementexceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) of this section.(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Contractor shall honorany order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (ororders) is returned to the ordering office within 5 days after issuance, with writtennotice stating the Contractors intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and thereasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or servicesfrom another source. (End of Clause)In accordance with FAR 35.602-2 an Architect-Evaluation Board will be established toreview proposals and evaluate firms.
