This PBS Region has been organized into thirteen geographic zones. Awards will be staggered by zone, potentially two zones at a time.

These will be fixed-price contracts. All work to be acquired under the contracts will be accomplished by the issuance of individual task orders. The individual task orders to be placed under the contracts will range in dollar value from approximately $2,000 to $3,500,000; however, project values will NOT be equally spread over this range. The Maximum Order Limitation (MOL) for a contract which is primary in only the Small Projects Pool shall be $1,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for each annual period of performance, for each contract, for each zone. The Maximum Order Limitation (MOL) for a contract which is primary in only the Large Projects Pool shall be $4,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for each annual period of performance, for each contract, for each zone. A contract which is primary in both project pools will have a MOL of $5,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for each annual period of performance, for each contract, for each zone. These contract vehicles may be used by both GSA Regional and Field Office personnel. These contracts will be solicited as one (1) year contracts, with four (4) separate one (1) year option periods, for a total potential contract period not to exceed five (5) years. Facilities covered under the scope of this contract include Government owned and leased facilities in counties or parishes within the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Services will be required under these contracts on an as-needed basis, up to a single task order limit of $3,500,000. Task orders will be prepared based on defined statements of work for specific projects and issued as fixed-price task orders.

The base IDIQ contracts will be acquired using Source Selection procedures as identified in FAR 15.3 with fixed-price awards to the offerors who provide the best value to the Government. Offerors will be evaluated based on technical merit and price proposals. For this procurement, non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than total evaluated price. As proposals become more equal in their technical merit, price becomes more important. The tradeoff process under the best value approach will be used. The technical evaluation factors in order of importance are: 1. Past Performance and 2. Hypothetical Projects.

The Government's intent is to award up to six (6) IDIQ contracts per zone, to offerors who submit a proposal which will provide the best value to the Government in terms of technical qualifications and price; however, the Government reserves the right to award more or fewer contracts per zone as determined to be necessary.

The Government intends to make award without discussion. Therefore, offerors are requested to submit their initial proposals to the Government on the most favorable terms based on technical and price factors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.
