- Description
- Introduction Network Contracting Office 1 (NCO 1), supporting VA New England Healthcare System (VISN 1) and VA Vermont Healthcare System (163 Veterans Drive, White River Junction, VT), is seeking potential sources for an upcoming requirement for Architect and Engineering Services as described in the attached Statement of Work. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION STATEMENTS (SF330). This notice is a market research tool and has not been set-aside for any small business category, however the notice is issued to determine appropriate set-aside categories. Responses to this notice, in conjunction with other Government market research resources, will be used by the contracting officer to determine the applicable socio-economic set-aside for the procurement. Failure to respond to this notice will not impact consideration of architect and engineer firms (or joint ventures) which otherwise meet set-aside requirements and submit responses to the follow-up public announcement. Once the appropriate set-aside is determined, a separate public announcement requesting qualification statements (SF330s) will be publicized on Contract Opportunities in accordance with 40 U.S. Code ยง 1101 and FAR 36.601. General Project Description and NAICS Synopsis of required services: Provide all professional architectural and engineering (A/E) services necessary to perform an impact study on the Freedom Building at VAMC White River Junction, VT to accommodate an Advanced Blast Simulator (ABS). The study shall assess the structural impact of modifications to accommodate the ABS, the sound and percussion impact of the ABS on the building/facility, recommendation on appropriate locations for the ABS to be operated, and any other safety or environmental needs. The firm shall report the results of its findings and provide recommendations for any structural, acoustical, mechanical, etc., changes necessary to support the use of the ABS. The recommendations made shall conform to all VA requirements outlined in the FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals, Facilities Guideline Institute (FGI), ADA, Joint Commission Accreditation Standards, ANSI, SMACNA, IBC, NEC, NFPA and any other applicable regulations and standards. Magnitude of services is between $25K and $100K. This procurement for Architect & Engineering services is assigned NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services which has SBA small business size standard of $25.5 million in average revenue. Information Sought The Government requests a letter of interest (or similar document) with responses to the following: 1. State your firm name (as it appears in SAM.gov ), firm office location where these services will be performed from, DUNS number, UEI number and socio-economic status of the firm (i.e. verified SDVOSB, WOSB, SB, large business). 2. Provide a brief narrative on the firm s experience providing services similar to those described in the attached statement of work. 3. What would be the expected make-up of the firm s team in terms of socio-economic categories and estimated percentage of work to be completed by your firm and each subcontractor? If the procurement is set-aside for any category of small business, generally fifty percent of more of the work would need to be performed by the contractor or a similarly situated subcontractor in terms of percentage of cost. For instance, if set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), 50% or more of the contract would need to be performed by verified SDVOSBs no other small business categories would count towards the percentage. If set-aside for small business, 50% of the contract would be required to be performed by small businesses which would include performance by a verified SDVOSB because they are also a small business. If the procurement is not set-aside and reaches certain dollar thresholds, the Government would negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan to utilize small business concerns. 4. A brief statement of overall interest in the project and capability of performing the work in conjunction with ongoing projects. 5. Any additional capabilities statements or other documentation that you feel will assist the Government in performing market research and determining the appropriate set-aside. Submission Instructions Interested parties are requested to submit the requested information not later than September 7, 2023 at 4:00PM (EST) to Michael Crafts via email to michael.crafts@va.gov. Please include 36C24123R0184 - Sources Sought Response in the title of the email. The response burden to this notice is expected to be light; lengthy responses are not expected but no maximum page count is assigned. Please keep responses below 7MB or send multiple emails appending to the email subject 1 of n as appropriate. Please contact Michael Crafts at the email above with any questions.
