This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size with one contract held in reserve for a small business. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan for that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The FY 2021 subcontracting goals for this contract are a minimum of 25% of the contractor's intended sub-contract amount be placed with small businesses, with 5% of that to small disadvantaged businesses, 3% to woman-owned small businesses, 1% to HUB Zone small businesses, 2% to VOSB and 1% to service disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal. Anticipate award of three (3) multiple award task order contracts, one of which is held in reserve for a small business, with a shared capacity of $9.5M. If award cannot be made to a small business, three (3) multiple award contracts are anticipated. The contract type shall be indefinite delivery, firm fixed price over a term of 5 years. There will be no specific delivery order limit except that of the contract limit. All responders are advised that this contract may be revised or canceled at any time during the solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and final award. In addition, no projects are yet authorized (See FAR 52.232-18). This solicitation does not guarantee work to the selected firm. Award of the contracts are anticipated for the first quarter of FY 22. Telephonic interviews will be held with all of the most highly qualified firms. When a task order is to be awarded, the Contracting Officer shall notify all the A-E firms within the MATOC pool by the issuance of a Task Order Requirement Notice (TORN). The TORN shall include a short summary of the scope of work, selection criteria, and, if appropriate, a Request for Supplemental Information tailored to that specific task order requirement. All awardees will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order award in excess of $2,500.00. Each TORN will contain the specific selection criteria listed in order of importance and relative weight, and shall include, at a minimum, criteria required by FAR 36.602-1. A Request for Supplemental Information in a TORN is intended to supplement existing information for the MATOC Pool firm. Any Request for Supplemental Information will focus on information required to effectively evaluate each firm relative to the specific task order requirement for the purpose of selecting the most highly technically qualified firm for the specific task order requirement. The expectation is that, in most cases, Supplemental Information within a TORN should be brief (three pages or less) and require minimal effort on a MATOC Pool firms part. All MATOC Pool firms will receive the exact same TORN. If determined to be appropriate for a specific requirement, a TORN may fully utilize existing MATOC Pool firm information to determine the most highly qualified firm without the need to request supplemental information. Each response to a TORN will be evaluated per the criteria specified in the TORN. The MATOC Pool firms that were sent a TORN will be promptly notified upon a selection decision. Unsuccessful offerors for task orders greater than $5.5M will be given the opportunity for a debriefing in accordance with EP 715-1-7, para 3-12. Further details, when applicable, of the selection process will be included in the resultant contracts.
