Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. A Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for Commissioning Services is required to primarily support the Baltimore District's Real Property Services Field Office (RSFO) programs.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541330, which has a small business size standard maximum of $15,000,000.

An active TOP SECRET Facility Clearance is required at the time the offer is due, at time of award, and throughout the life of the contract. In the event of a Joint Venture (JV), the clearance requirement will apply to the JV. This means that the entity identified submitting the SF330 must have the TOP SECRET Facility Site Clearance in that name along with the matching Cage Code. For example, if Company A and Company B form a Joint Venture called Company AB, then Company AB must have an active TOP SECRET Facility Site Clearance. Even if both Company A and Company B each individually posses the clearance, unless Company AB possesses its own TOP SECRET Facility Site Clearance, the proposal will not be eligible for award. The firm must be capable of responding to and working on multiple task orders concurrently. Task orders will be awarded based on the contractor's current workload and its ability to accomplish the order in the required time, geographic location, type of services required, previous installation experience, including customer satisfaction, and performance and quality of deliverables under the current IDIQ. Project sites may be located anywhere within the continental United States (CONUS) or Hawaii. A contract may be issued up to one year after selection approval.
