This sources sought posting is for information purposes only and is subject to change. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Vicksburg District is requesting Capability Statements from all qualified and interested Small Businesses to participate in a solicitation for a broad variety of operations, routine and non-routine maintenance, repair, inspection, reconstruction, modernization and rehabilitation of project facilities, water control structures and features at three large flood control reservoirs managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District, in the state of Arkansas (Lake Greeson, Lake Ouachita, and DeGray Lake).

The NAICS Code for the proposed acquisition is 561210, Facilities Support Services, and the small business size standard is $47,000,000.00.

Under FAR guidelines, the prime contractor must have the capability to perform at least 50% of the contract work with his-or-her own employees (FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting). The Government anticipates awarding a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Single Award Task Order Contract for one base year and four option years plus a 6-month option using a Best Value Trade Off source selection process. This will result in the award of an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement with the use of task orders that will allow for routine and non-routine types of work. Non-routine work would include an immediate direct response to unforeseen requirements such as flood control emergencies, droughts, tornados, fires, and emergency repairs that affect electrical and water utility systems, and frequently changing field conditions that affect ongoing operation, maintenance, and construction work to a variety of facilities and flood control features. Many of the routine types of operations, maintenance, and repair activities that are included in the scope of this contract include but not limited to:

• Janitorial and Custodial Services


• Operation of Welcome/Visitor Center


• Lawn Maintenance and Mowing

Appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and past performance information with references should be included. Past performance documentation shall include contract numbers, contact names with phone numbers and email addresses, as well as a description of the services provided, contract type (i.e., fixed price or cost), and dollar value. The company's CAGE Code and UEI number must be included with the submission.

The Capabilities Statement for this sources sought is not expected to be a proposal, but rather short statements regarding the company's ability to demonstrate existing or developed expertise and experience in relation to the areas specified in the Scope of Work. Any brochures or currently existing marketing material may also be submitted with the Capabilities Statement.
