Description: This is a full and open competition. Corporate Business Advisory Services for the National Concessions Program Office, Washington, D.C. The National Park Service (NPS), Washington Contracts and Procurement Office (WCP), intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals to provide Corporate Business Advisory Services to the NPS National Concession Program. This will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Task Order contract in support of the National Concessions Program Office in Washington, D.C. The Government plans to award one (1) task order contract (although it reserves the right to award contracts to more than one source under this solicitation). The Government reserves the right to award a contract(s), based on the selection board's final selection, to the firm(s) considered most highly qualified to perform the work. Should more than one contract be awarded, each awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for task orders to be issued. Contract Period: All services will be provided under an Indefinite Quantity contract. The base contract period will be for one year, with options to extend for four additional one-year periods. Work will be ordered by issuance of firm-fixed-price or not-to-exceed, time-and-material, type task orders. The maximum ordering limitation will be $300,000.000 per task order and $2,000,000.00 per year, for a total of $10,000,000.00 for the life of the contract. The guaranteed minimum for the life of the contract, which includes the base period and all options exercised, is $25,000.00. Primary Services include, but are not limited to, business advisory support, advice on matters related to providing hospitality services to the public, identifying sources of industry expertise in certain specialized operations, business process reengineering services, strategic planning, and other business related support services. All work shall be performed in a manner consistent with Federal and State laws and regulations governing the work performed. Job Requirements: The contractor shall have the capability and experience to perform, or provide, a wide range of services related to the provision of business advice in the hospitality industry including, but not limited to, a good understanding, knowledge, and application of business and financial management principles and practices; the hospitality industry; leasing and lease-hold interests and Federal Government concession contracting; as well as broad experience in all phases of financial analysis, strategic planning and project management. Required Expertise includes: Senior-level business, government-affairs, financial, strategic planning, hospitality industry and business process reengineering expertise, information technology/database development, and technical writing. Firms must be able to provide all necessary disciplines by in-house personnel or through the use of subcontractors. Project Managers must have experience managing the types of projects anticipated by this solicitation. Firms will be evaluated by a selection committee based upon the following primary criteria, listed in descending order of importance (to be further described in the RFP): (1) Management Capability - defined by the professional qualifications of the firm and staff (both prime contractor and subcontractors) proposed for the performance of the services as set forth above and submission of a management strategy. (2) Technical Excellence - defined by the specialized and technical experience and knowledge of the services set forth above. (3) Past Performance - defined by the prime's, as well as the team's, prior performance on Government and private sector contracts for related or similar work. In addition to other factors, offers will be evaluated on the basis of advantages and disadvantages to the Government that might result from making more than one award (i.e., multiple awards). All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. Subcontracting Plan Requirement: In accordance with Public Law 97-507, the firm will be required to provide the maximum practicable opportunities for small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The selected firm, if a large business, must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals will be set forth in the RFP. The subcontracting plan is not required with submittal of the proposal; however, contract award is contingent upon negotiation of an acceptable subcontracting plan. The NAICS Code for this work is 541219 and the small business size standard is $6,000,000.00. This procurement is based upon Best-Value and is subject to the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation.
