Description

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southern Division is seeking interest from 8(a) firms in the Small Business Administration Regions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 including participants with bona-fide place of businesses in these areas. The Navy is targeting the issuance of an indeterminate number of Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAS) to be selected from qualified 8(a) contractors serviced by District Offices within the Small Business Administration Regions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. The term of the BOAs will be for five (5) years. BOAs are designed to provide enhanced contracting opportunities to qualified firms under the 8(a) program serviced by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) District Offices. The BOA is not a contract but a written instrument of understanding negotiated between the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southern Division (NAVY) and the SBA to facilitate the expeditious acquisition of covered services, if and when ordered, via Task Orders awarded to 8(a) firms. The BOA will include contract clauses, provisions, certifications, terms and conditions, which will apply to each Task Order, to the extent referenced in the Task Order. Each Task Order issued under the BOA shall constitute a separate contract. Each Task Order may contain pre-priced options for the continued performance of environmental work under the Task Order. When the Navy has a specific work requirement suitable for accomplishment under the BOA, they will provide a written statement of work detailing the work to be accomplished to the 8(a) BOA holding contractors and request a price and technical proposal. A BOA contractor will then be selected on the basis of ?best value? technical and price or ?low price, technically acceptable? criteria and will be issued a task order wherein the BOA contractor will be required to furnish all labor, materials, supervision, laboratory testing, equipment required of the statement of work such that the work can be accomplished expeditiously and in a manner directed by the Contracting Officer. The ?best value? process will consider such factors as Past Performance, Technical Qualifications, Management Approach and Price. The contractor will be required to furnish a bid bond with each proposal over $25,000. Performance and Payment bonds may be required for each proposal. The BOA Task Orders will be restricted to the BOA holders in the SBA District Offices in the state where the environmental work is to be performed. However, the Government reserves the right to open the area of competition if adequate competition can not be obtained via a single District Office. There is no guaranteed minimum dollar amount or volume of work that will be ordered under the agreement, however, there is a maximum dollar amount of $3,000,000.00 per Task Order that can be awarded to an 8(a) contractor. There is no assurance of a steady stream of work from the BOA. Nothing in the BOA is intended to state or imply any agreement by the Navy to place future orders with the Contractor or to require that the Navy solicit and acquire covered services from the Contractor. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The anticipated work comprehends a diversity of environmental remediation actions, such as the monitoring, maintaining and recreating of long term environmental operating systems. The work also includes reporting of sampling results to the appropriate environmental agencies. EMERGENCY REPAIRS: Non-functioning monitoring systems, caused by a myriad of events; MINOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: Constructing or refurbishing of monitoring or observation well systems, bio composting systems, bio slurping systems, air sparging systems and ancillary equipment of those systems; DESIGN: On site design services to effect emergency or operational repairs, construction or refurbishment of environmental systems, creation of operating manuals, maintenance manuals.

When a firm graduates from the 8(a) program, no new task orders will be issued to the firm and the agreement will terminate. Termination of the agreement under those circumstances shall not have an effect on any orders previously issued. Either party may cancel the agreement within 30 days written notice to the other party. Any cancellation will not have any effect on previously issued Task Orders prior to the effective date of the cancellation.
