- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Design, Engineering, and otherProfessional Services Required to Rehabilitate, Modernize, or Provide New Civil/Environmental Facilities and Systems at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida; CapeCanaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida; Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB),California; and/or overseas emergency Shuttle Landing Sites.And,Design, Engineering, and other Professional Services Required to Rehabilitate, Modernize,or Provide New Mechanical Systems in Facilities at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida;Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida; Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB),California; and/or overseas emergency Shuttle Landing Sites.This synopsis specifies the Government's requirement. It is a combined synopsis andsolicitation. There is no separate solicitation package.NASAs Kennedy Space Center (KSC) intends to award two single-award Indefinite-DeliveryIndefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts; one for on-call Civil Environmental Design andEngineering Services and one for on-call Mechanical Design and Engineering Services. Each awarded contract will have a five year ordering period. Work will be accomplishedas individual task orders under the IDIQ contracts.Each IDIQ contract will have a minimum value of $10,000 which represents the minimumvalue of work the Government is required to order and the contractor shall deliver underthe IDIQ contract. The maximum quantity the Government may order and the contractor maydeliver for the Civil Environmental Engineering Services will be $25,000,000. Themaximum quantity the Government may order and the contractor may deliver for theMechanical Engineering and Design Services will be $6,000,000.The individual taskorders will be awarded beginning with the dates of the execution of the IDIQ contracts.
