NASA/JSC is hereby soliciting capabilities information from certified 8(a), HUBZone, andService Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns within a five stateregion consisting of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texasfor theconstruction project Upgrade Sanitary Sewer System at White Sands Testing Facility(WSTF). The purpose of this request is to determine the appropriate level of competition inaccordance with FAR 19.10 Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.Information received will be used to make a determination regarding the use of full andopen competition or to set aside the procurement as an 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSBset-aside. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for therelease of any solicitation or synopsis. It is anticipated the NASA/JSC will issue a solicitation for the Upgrade Sanitary SewerSystem project at WSTF. The NAICS code for the project is 237110 with a small businesssize standard of $33.5 million. This NAICS code ties directly with FAR 19 of the SmallBusiness Competitiveness Demonstration Program, under the title of Water and Sewer Lineand Related Structures Construction. The magnitude of the project is between $5,000,000and $10,000,000 as set forth in FAR 36.204 Disclosure of the Magnitude of ConstructionProjects. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service.
