Award of Nationwide IDIQ Construction Services with design-build capabilities.

This procurement will result in multiple awards for nationwide IDIQ Construction Services with Design/Build Capabilities for GSA and DHS programs for Ports of Entry and other Federal facilities.

The multiple award IDIQ contracts shall be for a period of one (1) year, with provision to exercise options for four (4) additional one year periods, not to exceed a total of five years.  Multiple awards will be made with each awardee being guaranteed a minimum of $1000.  The minimum ordering limitation per task order will be $500.  The maximum ordering limitation of each contract is up to $25 million per year.

This negotiated procurement will be accomplished by using source selection procedures.  A firm fixed price contract will be awarded to the firms offering the best value to the Government.  Technical ability is significantly more important than price.  The Government may or may not hold discussions on technical proposals (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)); therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical standpoint.  The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

The Government is not limited to contacting only those references provided by the offeror.  The Government may also consider the offeror's performance on contracts not submitted by the offeror that the Government is aware of, or becomes aware of.

Evaluation criteria are listed in descending order or importance:

1.  Experience and past performance of the prime contractor and key subcontractors on similar projects.

2.  Qualifications and past experience of key personnel.

3.  Management Approach.  The offeror will need to respond to various scenarios to demonstrate intent and breadth of knowledge and understanding of the requirements for planning, organizing and controlling the execution of the any resultant task orders.

4.  Subcontracting/Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization (SDBU) Plan (for other than small businesses).

Offerors will not be reimbursed for proposal submittal expenses.
