C1DA--667-26-100 AE Renovate 2N Laboratory

This contract involves the procurement of Architect-Engineer (A-E) services under the authority of the Selection of Architects and Engineers Statute and the FAR 36.6 regulation, with a focus on projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The services will be obtained through a negotiated firm-fixed-price contract, with the primary scope including design work for specialized hospital spaces such as Pathology and Laboratory Medicine within VA facilities. The project is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), requiring firms to demonstrate current licensing, registration in SAM, and compliance with veteran-related reporting requirements. Firms must also commit to utilizing SDVOSBs and other small businesses as subcontractors, outlining their roles and contributions. Selection will be based on a comprehensive evaluation of professional qualifications, specialized experience, past performance, construction period services, project management capacity, local knowledge, and commitment to veteran small business utilization. Firms are required to submit their qualifications via SF330 packages by September 24, 2025, with detailed narratives addressing each evaluation criterion within a 10-page limit. The process emphasizes demonstrating relevant experience, technical competence, and capacity to meet project timelines and budgets, with particular attention to experience in VA hospital environments and familiarity with local construction conditions in the Shreveport, Louisiana area. This is a qualification-based process, and the government is not obligated to award a contract, pending available funds.
