THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS FOR INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

This Sources Sought Synopsis is being used as a market research tool to determine the availability and adequacy of potential qualified business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of a solicitation. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic is seeking qualified Large Businesses and Small Businesses, including U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) certified 8(a), SBA certified HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), or Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB). Information received in relation to this notice will be used to assist the Government in developing an overall acquisition strategy.

The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis.

Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought Synopsis, the Government will determine whether a small business set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest pursuant to FAR 19.502-2(b).

The Government is contemplating award of a MACC FOR DB/DBB for new construction, renovation, alteration, and repair for large general construction projects primarily located in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY), Kittery, ME and Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), Portsmouth, VA in support of SIOP.

This contract(s) will require the ability to manage multiple task orders concurrently across the identified area of responsibility (AOR). Construction projects to be performed will primarily consist of heavy waterfront and industrial building type projects (new construction, renovations, alterations, demolition, repair work, and any necessary design) including: dry docks, wharves, piers, bulkheads, industrial, utilities, infrastructure, and including both vertical and horizontal construction. The selected contractor(s) will be responsible for all labor, supervision, engineering, design, materials, equipment, tools, parts, supplies, and transportation to perform all of the services described in the drawings and specifications provided for each individual project.

It is anticipated that no more than five (5) contracts will be awarded as a result of this potential solicitation. The duration of the contract(s) will be for one (1) year from the date of contract award with four (4) one-year option periods. The total five-year (base and four one-year options) estimated construction cost for all contracts will not exceed $4,000,000,000 for the life of the contract. Projects awarded on this MACC will have an estimated construction cost of approximately $3,000,000 to $500,000,000.00; however, smaller and larger dollar value projects may be considered.

All companies to include service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), certified HUB-Zone, certified 8(a), and women-owned small businesses (WOSB), small businesses, and large businesses are encouraged to respond. Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought Notice, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest. If you are considering entering into a teaming arrangement, you should provide the name of all teaming partners, the anticipated type of teaming arrangements, address the specific services each member will provide and include applicable professional qualifications and experience for each member, and to what extent your company has worked with the proposed teaming partners in the past. For other than bundled requirements you may be able to joint venture with one or more small businesses and not be considered affiliated as long as each member of the joint venture is small under the applicable NAICS code (13 CFR 121.103(h)(3)). A small business prime will be required to comply with FAR 52.219-14, which limits the percentage paid by small business prime contractors to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. The limitation on subcontracting would apply to the cooperative effort of the joint venture and not each individual member (13 CFR 125.6(i)). Provide evidence that on past contracts of a similar nature that your company (as the prime contractor) was able to comply with the requirement of FAR 52.219-14 and will be able to comply with this requirement under the proposed contract.
