The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) applicable to this requirement is 562910, Environmental Remediation Services with an applicable size standard of no more than 500 employees. This size standard applies for the establishment of eligibility of a small business. NFEC Southwest intends to award more than two Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity small business contracts.

Remedial actions may include, but will not be limited to, capping landfills, pump-and-treat remediation, bioremediation, soil vapor extraction, natural attenuation, bioventing, air sparging, thermal treatment, phytoremediation, soil washing, and free product recovery.

The contaminants may include, but are not limited to, those identified and regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA), and petroleum oils and lubricants (POL). It is anticipated that most of the work resulting from this solicitation will be performed in California. Formal source selection procedures will be followed as prescribed by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 and FAR Supplement as applicable. Contracts will be awarded to the responsible Small Business firm(s) whose proposals, conforming to the solicitation, offer the "Best Value" to the Government, price and other factors considered. The contracts will be awarded for a base period of one year with four one-year option periods. FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services will be incorporated into the resulting contracts. The Government intends to award one contract with the proposed Task Order 0001 and to award the remaining contracts with the minimum guarantee of $5,000.00 each. The Government reserves the right not to award the proposed Task Order 0001 identified in the solicitation or to award it at a later date after award of the basic contract(s). The minimum guarantee applies to the five-year term of the contract(s). The aggregate value of delivery orders issued under the contract(s) will not exceed $60,000,000. Fair opportunity will be provided for all resulting task orders in accordance with FAR 16.505(b). Proposals will be evaluated based on the following evaluation factors: Factor 1 - Past Performance, Factor 2 - Specialized Experience, and Factor 3 - Engineering and Management Approach (This factor will include proposed Task Order 0001). Factors 1, 2, and 3 are of equal importance to each other. Factor 4 - Price (Price of the proposed Task Order 0001) is slightly less important than any one of the other factors. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, Factors 1, 2, and 3 when combined are significantly more important than Factor 4. The importance of price will increase if offerors are considered essentially equal in terms of technical capability or if price is so significantly high as to diminish the value of the proposal's technical superiority to the government.
