The outcomes for this acquisition are consistent with the FAR 37.101 definition of service contracts. These services will be procured in accordance with 40 USC Chapter 11, Selection of Architects and Engineers, as implemented by FAR Subpart 36.6. The IDIQ contract will be for a base period of one year and four one-year option periods (if exercised). The total fee for the contract term shall not exceed $20,000,000. The guaranteed minimum for the contract term (including option years) is $10,000. Firm-fixed price task orders will be negotiated for this contract. The Government will determine the delivery order amount by using rates negotiated and negotiate the effort required to perform the particular project work assignment. There will be no dollar limit per task order and no dollar limit per year. Estimated start date is January 2019. This proposed contract is being solicited on an UNRESTRICTED basis. The Small Business size standard classification is North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code 541330, Engineering Services. The Government seeks the most highly qualified firm to perform the required services, based on the demonstrated competence and qualifications, in accordance with the selection criteria. SELECTION CRITERIA: Firms responding to this synopsis will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firms to perform the required services in accordance with the published selection criteria. Failure to comply with instructions, or provide complete information may affect the firm s evaluation or disqualify the firm from further consideration. The following selection criteria, in descending order of importance, will be used to evaluate the qualifications of the A-E firms: Criterion 1 - Firm s Specialized Experience: Firms will be evaluated for specialized experience in relevant projects that involved design, construction surveillance and inspection and testing of fire protection systems. Specialized experience demonstrating greater variety of fire protection systems and facilities involved in the NAVFAC Pacific areas of responsibility (e.g., Hawaii, Guam, Tinian, Diego Garcia, Australia and other NAVFAC Pacific Ocean areas) will be more favorably considered. Relevant project types include hydraulically designed sprinkler and standpipe systems, interior fire alarm systems, fire detection systems including very early smoke detection systems and optical fire detection systems, mass notification systems, exterior fire alarm reporting systems, firefighting access and water supply systems, fire pump systems, fire protection water storage systems, foam systems, gaseous fire extinguishing systems, dry chemical systems, wet chemical systems, smoke management/control systems, fire modeling, fire compartmentalization, fire stopping, fireproofing, etc. Projects shall be completed within the past ten (10) years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this notice. Submission requirements: SF330, Part I, Section F: Provide a maximum of ten (10) projects demonstrating specialized experience in relevant projects. Sufficient information to determine the date of completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. If more than the maximum number of projects is submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted. All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office/individual team member proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation.

The submission should include a discussion of who executed the project as pertinent to demonstrating the firm s specialized experience. For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration. NOTE: If the firm is a joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture, projects may be submitted for either joint venture partner, not to exceed a total of ten (10) relevant projects. Each project shall include project title and location; year completed; project owner; point-of-contact name, e-mail address, and phone number; contract number or project identification number; contract period of performance; contract award amount; and description of project and relevance to this solicitation. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award. Do not submit an IDIQ contract as an example project. The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract. Examples of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be evaluated. All information for Criterion 1 shall be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F.
