No telephone requests will be honored. All information provided will become property of NIST and will not be returned. The purpose of this notice is to identify sources with the requisite qualifications that could provide the services stated herein. All large and small businesses (8(a), SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, VOSB and SDVOSB) capable of performing the requirement indicated below are encouraged to respond to this notice. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for services to assist the NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL) in the area of structural engineering research for reducing risks due to earthquakes and other severe hazards as described in the attached DRAFT Statement of Work. NIST anticipates using FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation procedures to award an Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The anticipated, estimated ceiling amount of the IDIQ contract is $10 million, over the course of a base period of one year and four option periods of one year. The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 541330 - Engineering Services, with an SBA size standard of $14.0 million. NIST may hold an Industry Day for this requirement prior to posting a Request for Proposals (RFP). INSTRUCTIONS Businesses with the capabilities of providing the required services, as described in the attached DRAFT Statement of Work, are invited to submit, on a voluntary basis, a written capability statement identifying the business size/designation (e.g. 8(a), SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, VOSB and SDVOSB utilizing a NAICS Code of 541330), with sufficient information that demonstrates ability to fulfill the above requirements. Businesses that offer the required services under a GSA Schedule contract shall indicate the applicable GSA schedule, SIN and their cognizant GSA Schedule contract number. The written capability statement/response must include the following: 1. Company name, address, phone number, and email address(es) for point(s) of contact. 2. Detailed descriptions of analytical and experimental structural engineering research for reducing risks due to earthquakes and other extreme hazards performed by the company as a prime contractor or subcontractor within the past 10 years. Include contract/order numbers, periods of performance, and total dollar amount of contracts/orders and customer point(s) of contact (name, phone number, email address). 3. Detailed descriptions of involvement in national standards development for reducing risks due to earthquakes and other extreme hazards performed by the company or its employees within the past 10 years. See above discussion of relevant national standards documents.
