The National Institutes of Health, Office of Research Facilities intends to enter into a single-award, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for professional Architect Engineering (A/E) services procured in accordance with the Brooks A/E Act, Public Law 92-582, as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36.6.

As a part of the U.S. Public Health Service under the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the Federal Government's primary biomedical research agency. The NIH's mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. Composed of 27 Institutes and Centers, the NIH provides leadership and financial support to researchers in every state and throughout the world.

The NIH Office of Research Facilities (ORF) supports the NIH mission by providing, maintaining, and operating safe, healthy, and attractive facilities. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide specialized A/E design and other A/E related services critical to ORF's success in planning, budgeting, funding, and managing the repair, alteration, renovation and new construction of NIH facilities and associated infrastructure.

The IDIQ contract shall consist of a Base and four (4) Option periods, with a maximum dollar value of $19,250,000.00 over the life of the contract. Task orders issued against this IDIQ contract are anticipated to range between from $2,500.00 to $750,000.00. The maximum value the Government may order under each task shall not exceed $750,000; however, the Government reserves the right to place orders above this limit.

The awarded contract will have a one-time minimum guarantee of $2,500.00 (two thousand five hundred dollars), to be paid at the end of the first twelve (12) months if no Task Order has been awarded. There will be no subsequent minimum guarantee.

Work under the awarded contract will be subject to satisfactory negotiation of individual Task Orders. The Government will determine the Task Order amount by using pre-negotiated labor rates and negotiating the effort required to perform the particular work.

The selected Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business A/E firm must demonstrate the capability to perform, as the Prime firm, at least 50% of the work described below in accordance with FAR 52.219-14 (c)(1).
