Notice Information Agency/Office: Public Buildings Service (PBS) Location: Acquisition Management (7PQA) Places of Performance: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS FOR SMALL BUSINESS ONLY: This is a request for information/market research to provide data for planning purposes ONLY. This sources sought synopsis DOES NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, invitation for bid, nor does its issuance in any way restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government is not obligated to and WILL NOT pay for information received as a result of this announcement. Note: the potential acquisition in this sources sought is subject to change before a solicitation is issued, if any. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of the Small Business Community to include Section 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to compete for and perform Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Construction & Repair/Alterations with Design/Build capabilities. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code (236220) should not submit a response to this notice. In any joint venture or teaming arrangement, the Offeror of record must qualify as a Small Business in accordance with NAICS code 236220 in order to be considered under this Sources Sought Notice. FAR Clause 52.219-14 (Limitations on Subcontracting) would apply to any contract awarded and requires to not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. The Small Business size standard for NAICS code 236220 is $39.5 million dollars in average annual receipts over the past three years. This Sources Sought encourages maximum participation of interested Small Business companies. Prior Government contract work is not required for submitting a response under this sources sought synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement as a set-aside based upon responses to this notice and other market research is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates award of multiple IDIQ Contracts with firm fixed prices for a base one-year period of performance and four (4) one-year option periods, for a total contract performance period not to exceed five (5) years. The primary location of performance is GSA Region 7, which is made up of the following states: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. These states are divided into twelve (12) zones, and each zone will have two (2) pools: the Small Project Pool and the Large Project Pool. The Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) is currently $250,000. The anticipated IDIQ contracts will have a Maximum Order Limitation (MOL) per year for each zone and pool as shown on page two (2) of attachment: Sources Sought Statement of Work - 2022 12 21. The MOL is NOT a forecast of anticipated obligations under these contracts for any period or zone, but is merely the maximum that is authorized to be ordered against any single IDIQ contract per period of performance (aggregate value of all task orders issued that period). A contractor can theoretically be awarded IDIQs in more than one zone, for either one or both pools per zone, if they submit a successful proposal for each zone and pool for which they are interested. All zones and pools will serve as secondary sets of contracts that can be used throughout the 5-state region. See the Sources Sought Statement of Work and other attachments for details about the proposed contracts and potential evaluation method. Note: the Statement of Work and other attachments are subject to change before the solicitation is issued, if any.
