The initiative will encompass all supplies associated with facilities maintenance to include plumbing/HVAC/refrigeration, lumber, electrical, small tools, paint, hardware and assorted fixtures. This is a representative list and should not be considered exhaustive of all products that will be required of the initiative. All items are brand name specified and/or generic commercial products. A Prime Vendor or integrated supplier, can be defined as the designation of a single source of supply for a wide range of products. The initial implementation of the initiative will take place at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, SC; Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, SC; and the Naval Hospital Beaufort, SC. Future potential implementation sites would include approximately seventy-three (73) military facilities located in the southeast region of the United States to include North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. Prospective contractors should be able to adequately support purchases that will range from a minimum of $2 million to $10 million for the initial implementation facilities with a maximum potential of $175 million per year during the option years of the contract. The maximum dollar value is contingent on the number of facilities and the extent of the participation of those facilities at any given time.

Subject solicitation will be issued on an unrestricted basis with the resultant contract being an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for one base year with four (4) one-year term options.
