- Description
- This is a Sources Sought announcement and not a request for proposals. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District intends to determine capability of potential Architect-Engineer (A-E) firms. Responses to this sources sought announcement will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. The Government will not pay for any costs that A-E firms may incur in the preparation of this source sought information request. The Portland District intends to award up to five (5) Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with a maximum shared capacity up to $65 million. The resulting contract(s) will have a base period of five (5) years and no option periods. There will be a substantial opportunity for small business participation. This may take the form of small business set asides; small business reserve contracts; or subcontracting opportunities through formal small business plans under unrestricted prime awards. Additionally, to implement certain small business-related provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA), varied partnering and collaboration opportunities among small business entities will be encouraged to the maximum extent practicable. This includes the "similarly situated" firms and "independent contractor" allowances for purposes of meeting prime small business performance percentages. All size and sub-category entities are encouraged to participate in this sources sought to allow for the maximum tailoring and accommodating of multiple business types. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A. The location of the work to be performed under the resulting contract(s) shall be stated in the individual Task Orders (TO). The Government expects the bulk of the TOs to be issued by USACE, Northwestern Division, and Portland District; however, task orders may also issue for the Seattle District and the Walla-Walla District.
