Contract Procedures:

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THE FUTURE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WILL NOT BE PUBLICLY ISSUED BUT WILL BE ISSUED CONSISTENT WITH FAR 36.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR STANDARD FORM (SF) 330s ARCHITECT-ENGINEER QUALIFICATION PACKAGES ONLY. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PAY, NOR REIMBURSE ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONDING TO THIS REQUEST. THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ALL INFORMATION NEEDED TO SUBMIT SF 330 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. NO OTHER REQUEST FOR SF 330s WILL BE MADE. NO OTHER SYNOPSIS TO SAM.GOV IS ANTICIPATED.

Interested E/A firms shall submit a Qualifications Package which comprises relevant overall experience, a management plan, Key Personnel documentation that their team provides all required skills as indicated here within, and evidence of satisfactory past performance demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the requirements of the proposed contract. The AOC will evaluate the qualifications in accordance with the selection criteria listed herein and will short-list the most qualified E/A firms.

This notice constitutes public announcement consistent with the requirements in FAR 36.601-1. Interested prime firms having the capabilities to perform these services must submit a comprehensive Standard Form 330 (SF 330), including all subcontractor/consultant information, in accordance with the Submission Format section, below. Firms will be selected based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work as per their SF 330. The SF 330 can be found on the following GSA web-site: https://www.gsa.gov/forms-library/architect-engineer-qualifications

The Selection Process will be consistent with FAR 36.602 and the selection criteria for this acquisition are listed below. Each selection criteria are to be specifically addressed in narrative format only to clearly show how each selection criteria is formally addressed. Failure to include narrative explanatory information may result in a lower evaluation.

The AOC will short-list the Firms to the most highly qualified E/A firms consistent with FAR 36.602-3(c), with the intent to award up to three (3) firms. As part of this process, each of the selected most highly qualified E/A firms will be invited to participate in an Interview Presentation to the Evaluation Board to highlight their qualifications and present their approach. Presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer period. The presentation and interview will occur virtually, as a video conference call, at a date to be determined. Firms will be given sufficient advance notice to allow their representatives to participate in the interviews or presentations. Refer to Attachment 2 Section 3.8.1 for required participants.

After the interview process is completed, the Government will make the final selections consistent with FAR 36.602-4. Negotiations for IDIQ Firm Fixed Price labor rates will then begin with the top-ranked firms. Award selection will be made based on the results of the Interview Presentations and successful negotiation of rates for the project, and not the SF 330 qualifications from Phase I. If negotiations are not successful with one of the most highly ranked firms, they may not receive an award. The proposed E/A services will be obtained by individual Task Orders issued against the IDIQ contract.

This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of their size. Submitting a SF 330 package as a prime does not preclude the firm from also serving as a subcontractor on another firm's SF 330 package submission. Award of the contract is estimated to occur on or about Q2 of Fiscal Year 2024. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with AOC52.219-3 Small Business Subcontracting Plan regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan. A subcontracting plan is not required with this SF 330 submittal but will be requested prior to award with the selected firm if applicable.
