The magnitude of this construction project is between $10 and $25 million. All work is to be performed within the secure perimeter of Al Udeid Air Base in the State of Qatar. The expected contract duration is 540 days. Funds are not presently available for this acquisition. No contract award will be made until appropriated funds are made available. All contractors shall be licensed to do business in the State of Qatar or demonstrate the ability to be licensed at contract award and will comply with the laws and regulations of the State of Qatar to become licensed. Two (2) sets of the solicitation will be issued on compact disk (CD) to prime construction contractors at no cost. The solicitation will not be provided to subcontractors, suppliers, vendors or plan houses. The solicitation will not be available over the internet.

The contract is to be awarded on a firm-fixed price basis only. The contract will be funded by a military construction appropriation. The RFP will contain DFARS provision 252.236-7010, Overseas Military Construction-Preference for United States Firms. This provision states, in part, that military construction contracts funded by a military construction appropriation that are estimated to exceed $1,000,000 and are to be performed in countries bordering the Arabian Gulf shall be awarded only to US firms, unless, the lowest responsive and responsible offer of a US firm exceeds the lowest responsive and responsible offer of a foreign firm by more than twenty percent. Offers from firms that do not qualify as United States firms will be evaluated by adding 20 percent to the offer. To be considered a U.S. firm, the firm must: be incorporated and have its corporate headquarters in the U.S.; have filed corporate and employment tax returns in the U.S. for a minimum of two (2) years (if required) and have filed State and Federal income tax returns (if required) for 2 years; have paid any applicable taxes determined to be due as a result of such filings; and employ U.S. citizens in key management positions.
