- Description
- Submission of Capability Statements This is a follow-on sources sought announcement to the one published on 12 December 2008. The U.S. Army Environmental Command (USAEC) and the Fort Bragg Directorate of Contracting (FBDOC), Army Contracting Agency-Southern Region will continue to accept capability statements from small businesses in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 541620 ($6.5M size standard) through 3 April 2008 (see the FebBizOps Sources Sought dated 18 Dec ember 2008). Small businesses interested in supporting one of the 4 environmental enterprise areas of Environmental Compliance, Cultural Resources, Natural Resources, and Management/Professional Services can find information on this requirement and the in formation brief at the Industry Conference held on 30-31 January 2008 at http://aec.army.mil/usaec/business/index.html. This web site will continue to be used to release future draft documents for comment to industry. The conceptual acquisition strategy is to establish separate multiple award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) contract suites (all set-aside for small business) consisting of a basic ordering period of one (1) year and four 1-year optional ordering periods for each enterprise a rea. Task orders will be competed strictly within the context of each enterprise area multiple award ID/IQ contract. The estimated program ceiling (over 5 years) for each enterprise area is as follows: Environmental Compliance - $230M, Cultural Resource s - $45M, Natural Resources - $105M, and Management/Professional Services - $190M. The estimated program ceiling reflects the total value of all actions to be conducted under that multiple award enterprise ID/IQ contract suite. The conceptual acquisition strategy includes an Organizational Conflict of Interest restriction on the Management/Professional Services enterprise contract. This means that contractors that compete on that enterprise area will be precluded competing as prime contractors in the oth er areas and vice versa. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL OR COST PROPOSALS. The Government will not award a contract based on the submission of capability statements. This is an opportunity for small businesses interested in serving as prime contractors to submit a brief capability statement demonstrating how they could meet the requirements specified in each of the enterprise areas. The Government will review the capability statements and inform submitters on whether they are considered to be viable competitors for this acquisition. Submitters in the identified NAICS code that are deemed viable will be identified to industry on the web site listed above unless they inform the Government of a desire to opt out. The capability statements are also being used to support and finalize the acquisition strategy.
