About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for leasing or purchasing modular units to serve as temporary office space for VA staff during the John Cochran Hospital Replacement project in St. Louis, Missouri. The government seeks 25,000-30,000 square feet of new prefabricated, modern modular construction office space, either in a single-level or two-level configuration with elevators. Potential contractors must demonstrate capabilities to provide a turnkey facility, including site planning, preparation, concrete walkways, delivery, setup, and eventual removal, while also managing utilities, security, and facility maintenance. The evaluation will focus on firms' experience with comparable projects, with respondents required to submit detailed information about their capabilities, including 3-5 recent relevant projects completed within the past 8 years. Responses must be submitted via email to specified USACE contacts by 10:00 a.m. CST on December 23, 2024.

The procurement is currently not set aside for any specific business category, though the notice indicates an anticipated future small business set-aside solicitation. The estimated lease duration is 5 years with potential extension options up to 8 years, and the project is classified under NAICS code 531120 with a small business size standard of $27.5 million. While no specific award value is definitively stated, the pre-solicitation suggests the total project could be substantial, potentially approaching the $27.5 million threshold. Contractors will be evaluated on their ability to customize space with specific requirements such as electronic security systems, intrusion detection, CCTV, soundproofing, increased ventilation, and specialized rooms. The government is seeking detailed information about pricing per square foot for both single-level and two-level modular facilities, along with comprehensive facility pricing schedules and lease/buy options.
