The 766th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam is publicizing this sources sought notice to gather industry feedback with respect to a new Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction vehicle aimed to provide streamlined means to complete minor construction projects for geographically separated military installations located throughout the Hawaiian Islands and Guam. The locations are, but not limited to: Koke’e Air Force Station, Mount Kaala Air Force Station, Bellows Air Force Station, Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station, Wheeler Army Air Field, and Andersen Air Force Base located in Guam.

The contemplated contractual vehicle type is a firm fixed-price IDIQ construction contract(s) with RSMeans construction estimating database as the commercial pricing tool. Construction work is non-complex and may consist of a single or multiple disciplines in general construction categories. Rarely, the IDIQ could also involve minimum design (up-to 35% or updating of old designs) for all aspects of general building construction including construction, modifications and renovations of existing facilities. The anticipated duration term consist of a five-year ordering period, with a two-year option.. The overall program value is still under consideration; however, at this point, the magnitude of this vehicle is anticipated to range between up to $25M to $100M over the duration of the contract. Task Orders written against the vehicle are anticipated to range between $2,000 and $750,000.00 each.  The proposed bonding and insurance capacities are estimated to be up-to $2,000,000.00 for individual Task Orders, with a $10,000,000.00 aggregate per year. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, applies to this request. The size standard for this NAICS code is $36.5M.

Historically, 766 SCONS has acquired the preponderance of the minor construction support as stand-alone firm-fixed-price contracts awarded directly to the Small Business Administration, under the 8(a) Program. There has been approximately 1-10 projects completed annually for Hawaii Islands, and about  25-35 minor construction projects annually for Guam.  The completion schedule has typically been 60 to 300  days from the issuance of notice to proceed.
