The AFMS agency is responsible for the programming, planning, design, construction, and initial outfitting of new and renovated US Air Force medical treatment facilities. They are chartered with modernizing hospitals, clinics, medical office buildings, warehouses, veterinary clinics, and wellness centers. To meet these requirements, the AFMS agency requires a contracting vehicle that utilizes experienced firms who are able to rapidly respond to multiple requirements, meet constrained project schedules, and deliver a variety of construction and renovation projects. The purpose of this contract vehicle is to enable the Air Force to standardize execution, minimize acquisition lead times and costs, and work multiple building infrastructure restoration, repair and replacement projects concurrently in existing Air Force medical facilities, efficiently and complete these projects on schedule. The Health Facilities Division of AFMSA provides sustainment, restoration, and modernization support to facility physical plant and infrastructure systems that are installed in Air Force medical treatment facilities worldwide. The physical plant is best defined as any and all major building system(s) that provide a safe, comfortable interior environment conducive to healing. Typically, there are three predominant infrastructure systems which comprise the facility physical plant: the Building Envelope, the Mechanical Infrastructure, and the Electrical Infrastructure. Building Envelope, Architectural and Structural Infrastructure Systems - various roofing systems (to include metal), exterior walls and surfaces (masonry, wood, EFIS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System), metal, etc.), building trim, gutters and soffit, windows, glazing, skylights, doors and storefronts, interior and exterior rated doors (to include fixtures and frames), building foundation, crawl space sub-structures/earth retaining walls, stairs, stoops, handrails, ramps, pathways and walkways, vapor barriers, surface sealing and waterproofing systems, roof mounted photovoltaic solar panels, anti-terrorism force protection features and other exterior building components.

Electrical Infrastructure Systems include power generation systems, interior and exterior electrical distribution systems, lighting systems (to include control), fire detection and alarm systems, energy metering and control systems, main power protective grounding systems, emergency and exit lighting systems, lightening protection systems, uninterruptable power supplies and battery systems, power transformers, conduits, raceways and bus- ducts, special healthcare specific electrical systems. This solicitation is set-aside for 8(a) Small Businesses only. CESWL intends to award a target pool of five (5) contractors within the 8(a) Small Business category with a total estimated contract capacity of $240,000,000.00. The total contract capacity will not exceed $240 Million. The average size task order for FY2017 was $11.3 Million. The estimated minimum size of a task order is $100,000. The estimated maximum size of a task order is $12 Million. The Government reserves the right to exceed the stated maximum task order limitation. Capability or performance constraints include the ability of the firms to perform multiple task orders simultaneously. Historically, the program has awarded on average thirteen (13) or more task orders in a fiscal year. It is reasonable to expect contractors to be performing more than one simultaneous task order. The majority of the task orders will be awarded during the last two quarters of the fiscal year. In order to mitigate a constraint regarding the capability of the selected firms to perform multiple requirements simultaneously, the strategy includes the award a target pool of five (5) 8(a) small business contractors. The estimated duration for each MATOC award will be a Base Period of Five Years for a total of sixty (60) months. The Government reserves the right to award a contract for a lesser duration than stated herein if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. The proposed contracts will be competitive firm-fixed-price contracts procured in accordance with FAR 15, Negotiated Procurement using the Best Value Trade-Off process.
