Only those 8(a) vendors that are certified under the Small Business Administration (SBA) in Area VI (AR, LA, NM, OK, and TX) will be allowed to participate in this acquisition. Refer to additional information provided in this Announcement/SIR1. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for janitorial services for the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The general scope of work for these services will require the contractor to furnish all personnel, supplies, materials, and cleaning equipment in the performance of building janitorial services for approximately 3.0M square feet of office space, classrooms, etc., in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW). Requirements are further defined in the attached SOW. The contract has a potential duration of five (5) years including a base year with four (4) 1-year options. This acquisition is set-aside exclusively for competitive award among Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Businesses (SEDBs) that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) program. Only those 8(a) firms that are certified under the SBA in Area VI (AR, LA, NM, OK, and TX) will be allowed to participate in this requirement. To be considered, a vendor must be classified as a small business under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561720, Janitorial Services - $15/million. Each firm claiming 8(a) status is required to provide a copy of its SBA 8(a) certification letter to the Contracting Officer with its response to this Announcement/SIR1. Firms are to submit an FAA Business Declaration form with your response to this Announcement/SIR1. The form is provided as a separate document under this announcement. The FAA reserves the right to review and verify each vendor's program eligibility. Should an 8(a) vendor intend to incorporate a teaming arrangement, the term "vendor" shall apply to the prime contractor. In conjunction with the set-aside nature of the requirement, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the prime contractor. This requirement is found in AMS Clause 3.6.1-7, Limitation on Subcontracting. This acquisition contemplates a phased approach. This, the initial phase, involves the Announcement/SIR1 of the requirement in order to permit companies that are certified under the 8(a) program with SBA within Area VI an opportunity to express an interest in this requirement. Only those firms that respond successfully to this Announcement/SIR1 will be allowed to participate in the next phase. The remaining phase(s) of the downselect process will be identified in future communications with those firms that successfully respond to this Announcement/SIR1. Companies that are interested and possess certain special standards of responsibility are to provide specific information as to the unique capabilities to be brought to the performance of this requirement. The specific information provided must be accurate and complete because it will be used to determine each vendor's eligibility to participate. Documentation must be provided to substantiate any statement of fact that goes to the vendor's eligibility pursuant to this Announcement/SIR1. The FAA reserves the right to contact references and verify each vendor's information. Any statement included in a vendor's response that is verified by the FAA as either false or misleading will be cause for rejection. All documentation is limited to 25 pages (8-1/2"x11", printed on one side). Failure to comply with this page limitation may be cause for rejection of a vendor's response. CAUTION: FAA evaluators will read only up to the page limit as specified. Four copies are requested. Mere statements of compliance or intention to comply are unacceptable. All responses submitted must address the capability of the vendor to meet the special standards of responsibility.
