In addition, the IDIQ/A/E must be able to provide all disciplines, architectural, structural, civil, electrical, mechanical and plumbing as required by the STVHCS. The IDIQ/A/E may be utilized for all services, including but not limited to design for minor construction, Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM), and Station Level Projects (SLP). The resulting IDIQ contract(s) will be for a period not to exceed five years or the maximum dollar amount of the contract. The Government is uncertain as to the number of task orders that will be placed from date of awarding the IDIQ contract; however, a minimum of $25,000 and up to a maximum of $1,500,000.00 is anticipated per contract awarded. Individual task orders may be issued for any amount up to $450,000.00. It is noted in accordance with the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-656) that A/E contracts, and task orders with a value of less than $50,000 must be set-aside for emerging small businesses. By definition in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 19.1002, Emerging Small Business is defined as a small business concern whose size is no greater than 50% of the numerical size standard applicable to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code.
