R425--IDIQ - Project Facilitator Services for Energy Performance Contracts

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is seeking Project Facilitator Services for Energy Performance Contracts (ESPC) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC) at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. Qualified offerors must maintain a minimum of three Department of Energy-approved Project Facilitators on staff, with at least one being a current employee of the GSA contract holder for the preceding two years, and must demonstrate substantial corporate experience with ESPCs and UESCs across multiple knowledge areas including investment-grade audits, design and material submittals, construction commissioning, and measurement and verification reporting. Evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis, with technical merit weighted as significantly more important than past performance, which is in turn more important than price, and offerors must submit technical proposals limited to 15 pages plus pricing for five one-year ordering periods across three professional positions. Technical questions must be submitted by April 24, 2026, with proposals due by May 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM EDT, and offerors must maintain price quotations firm for 120 calendar days from receipt.

This solicitation is a 100 percent set-aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), requiring all offerors to be certified and listed in the SBA certification database, with a maximum contract value of $6,400,176 and a minimum ordering guarantee of $2,000. The IDIQ contract will be awarded on a multiple-award, firm-fixed-price basis with a five-year base ordering period from the award date, and no current incumbent or contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The NAICS code is 541330 (Engineering Services) with a $25.5 million size standard, and offerors must comply with a 50 percent limitation on subcontracting for services. Recent amendments clarify that pricing is required only for the sample Performance Work Statement associated with a 30 percent Integrated Generating Assets review evaluation component, with additional site-specific minimum guarantee awards at VISN 16 locations and Dayton to be handled separately following the initial IDIQ award.
