More than one firm will be selected from this announcement; and it is anticipated that two contracts will be awarded. One of the selections will be reserved for 8(a) Program Concerns; the other is unrestricted and open to all interested parties regardless of business size. Responses to this announcement will be accepted from all responsible firms, regardless of business size. However, eligibility for the first award will be based on the cascading order of precedence as described below. The second award will be made on an unrestricted basis. The cascading order of precedence for award of the first contract is: 1st consideration: 8(a) Program; 2nd consideration: Unrestri cted. The Government will use the following methodology to establish eligibility for contract award using the cascading order of precedence: In addition to the other information required to be submitted, each firm responding to this announcement as an 8( a) Program participant must indicate their size status under the specified NAICS code and must also state if they are currently certified as an 8(a) small business concern. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the Government will presume that all 8(a) sm all business concerns desire to compete for an award under the 8(a) Program. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the Government will also presume that all 8( a) small business concerns desire to compete for an award for the Unrestricted contract. All 8 (a) business concerns receiving an award under the 8(a) Program set-aside will be subject to FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Initially the Govern ment will only evaluate the qualifications of the A-E firms which have stated that they are competing for the award under the authority of the 8(a) Program. The first of two awards resulting from this announcement will be made on a competitive basis to an eligible 8(a) business concern, provided that a minimum of three of the competing 8(a) A-E firms are determined to be highly qualified (e.g., are short-listed) and that the Government is able to negotiate a fair market price with one of the short-listed f irms. If responses are not received from at least three eligible 8(a) firms that are considered by the Government to be highly qualified for this procurement, or if the Government is not able to successfully negotiate a fair market price with one of the h ighly qualified 8(a) firms, then this procurement will be automatically withdrawn from the 8(a) Program and the acquisition will be conducted on an unrestricted basis. No one A-E Contractor will receive both awards. No contract will be awarded later than one year after the date that the responses to this synopsis are due. If more than one contract is awarded as a result of this announcement for the same or similar work, selection for task order awards will be made as follows: (1) All awardees will be gi ven a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order award in excess of $2,500. (2) In making selection of the awardee to receive a specific task order, the Contracting Officer will consider past performance of previous task orders, quality of prev ious task orders, timeliness of previous task orders, cost control, the firms strengths and previous experience in relation to the work requirements and geographic locations described in the scope of work for each task order. Details of the selection pro cess will be included in the resultant contracts. Indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts will be negotiated and the first is anticipated to be awarded in August 2005. Task Orders will be Firm Fixed Price. If awarded under the 8(a) Program, t he contract will be for a one-year period not-to-exceed $250,000 for the basic year and two one-year options, each not-to-exceed $250,000 each. The unrestricted contract(s) will be for a one-year period not-to-exceed $250,000 for the basic year and two on e-year options, not-to-exceed $250,000 each year. Individual task orders shall not exceed the annual contract amount. The options may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. At the discretion of the Government, the option years may be exercise d early if the Total Estimated Price is exhausted or nearly exhausted. All pricing schedules (for base year and all option periods) will be effective for one full year regardless of the early exercising of options, beginning with the date of award of the base year. The pricing schedules for the first through second option periods become effective on the first through second anniversary dates, respectively, of the contract award. If the Total Estimated Price of the base year or any option year is not awar ded within that years 12-month performance period and the Government has elected to exercise a subsequent option year, the remaining used dollar amount may be added on to the Total Estimate Price of the option period being exercised.
