USACE intends to negotiate Multiple Award Task Order Contracts on a competitive basis. Because future Task Order requirements may be satisfied by both Large and Small Businesses, USACE plans to incorporate two (2) pools; a small business set aside (Pool 1) and an unrestricted (Pool 2). All task orders in functional areas, (5) specialized engineering and construction-related information systems appraisals and requirement; (6) facilities policy, management, and administration; (9) environmental management and remediation will automatically be set-aside for the small business pool. If there are an insufficient numbers of offers received in response to the solicitation in Pool 1 or less than two small businesses are determined to be technically acceptable, all functional areas will move to the unrestricted pool.

It is estimated that the number of task orders will be between 20 and 30 per year, competed with the selected contractors. With regard to the small business set-aside pool, all contractors must meet the small business size standard of $15,000,000.00 under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330 (Engineering Services).

These contracts will be written with a base year plus four option years.
