FA8903-DOD POL Worldwide Construction The Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC)/772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS) and Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), is seeking information concerning the availability of experienced firms (Large and Small) that provide construction and repair for Department of Defense (DoD) Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) systems at military installations world-wide. The purpose of this sources sought is to locate firms that are EXPERIENCED with specific types of DoD POL Fuels Construction. Commercial Fuels Construction experience is neither desired, nor requested as a response. This sources sought shall not be construed as a formal solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Information provided to the Government as a result of this posting is strictly voluntary and given with no expectation of compensation, and clearly provided at no cost to the Government. Formal solicitations will be executed and posted separately at a future date and is estimated to occur in the first or second quarter of FY20. AFICC/772 ESS intends to solicit and award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for worldwide DoD POL system construction and repair. While projects may be of any value, most projects will range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. The anticipated ordering period is up to 10 years, with on-ramp procedures likely. The total capacity/contract ceiling is expected to exceed $1,000,000,000. We anticipate full and open competition, with scope-based and/or geographically-based small business set-aside determinations (distinct pools of contracts to execute specialized DoD POL work elements) based upon industry feedback received as a result of this sources sought. The NAICS code for this work is 237120, Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction, with a size standard of $36.5M. REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION: - DoD POL system repairs is defined as any construction for new, additions to, repairs, or upgrades of DoD POL facilities including above-ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, cut-and-cover tanks, hydrant fuel distribution systems including its pumps, valves, pump houses, filtration, distribution pipelines, and hydrant system controls. It also includes bulk storage systems, filter separators, product recovery, and system controls, buildings including pump houses, petroleum operations buildings, fuel truck maintenance buildings, or generator buildings. Work could also include new, repairs, upgrades, or additions to POL facility-related site utilities, aircraft parking aprons, containment areas, (pavement and drainage basin), fuel pits, fill stands/offloads, or POL facility-related cathodic protection, fire protection, special coatings and paints, hazardous material abatement/removal, or demolition of existing DoD POL tanks and buildings. Projects are typically subject to American Petroleum Institute (API) and Steel Tank Institute (STI) standards. - DoD POL facilities includes Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL or - fuels) facilities that are located on a United States Department of Defense installation (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Army or Air Force National Guard, or Reserve bases). It does not include facilities on a Coast Guard base, NASA location, or any other federal, commercial, or private facility. DoD POL facilities include fuel farms, above ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, cut-and-cover tanks, hydrant fuel distribution systems including piping, pumps, valves, hydrant and filter separators, oil water separator, bulk storage systems, transfer pump houses, POL control systems, stilling wells, containment areas, fuel pits, and fill stands. Note: The DoD POL construction and repair contractor pool is very small compared to other construction industries. Accordingly, most firms that execute this work are General Contractors that have a division or section of their firm that maintains key personnel with DoD POL experience. These General Contractors have experience managing DoD POL construction projects, to include the trades subcontractors that perform the bulk of the work. Some DoD POL General Contractors also have trades personnel on staff that are qualified to perform repairs to meet DoD POL standards (welding, coatings, etc). Accordingly, AFICC/772 ESS anticipates that our future solicitation for DoD POL system construction and repairs will require that the Prime Contractor directly employ (not subcontract) the Project Manager (PM), Onsite Superintendent (Super), and Onsite Quality Control Manager (QCM). General Contractors that intend to subcontract or team with other firms that employ DoD POL Key Personnel (PMs, Supers, and QCMs) will not be considered. SMALL BUSINESS: The Government reserves the right to determine if a SMALL BUSINESS (SB) set-aside is appropriate within the MATOC pool, as well as any of the targeted socio-economic programs (HUBZone, 8(a) Small Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or Women Owned Small Business), based on responses to this sources sought and other pertinent information gathered by the contracting officer. Therefore, AFICC/772 ESS is seeking input from industry to assist in establishing the most logical utilization of SB and parameters for types of work for set-aside. The Government anticipates awarding distinct pools of contracts to execute specialized DoD POL work elements, as defined follows, and dependent upon the results of this sources sought: 1) CONUS: Tank Repairs subject to API 653 & 650 requirements a. Likely Set-Aside for SB or other socio-economic category 2) CONUS: Tank Repairs subject to STI SP-001 a. Likely Set-Aside for SB or other socio-economic category 3) CONUS: Hydrant System Repairs a. Likely Unrestricted, but may be set-aside for SB or other socio-economic category 4) CONUS: Other DoD POL Infrastructure Repairs a. Likely Set-Aside for SB or other socio-economic category 5) UNRESTRICTED POOL AND POTENTIAL OCONUS SUB-POOLS: Highly Complex CONUS requirements or any OCONUS location. a. Unrestricted, but may include a Small Business Reserve b. Sub-Pools may be established for specific OCONUS Geographical Locations. (i.e. Wake Island, Diego Garcia, Lajes, Europe, Japan, Korea, Guam, Guantanamo Bay, etc) For the Government to establish specialized pools and make set-aside determinations, all experienced Large and Small Business firms must provide sufficient written information in their responses to indicate their CAPACITY (extent of key personnel) with EXPERIENCE executing/managing the four different categories of DoD Fuels Construction and Repairs noted above. SB and LB firms should also respond to information requested regarding specific experience performing DoD POL Construction at OCONUS (Tab2) and CONUS (Tab 3) Locations on Attachment 1. RESPONSE TO SOURCES SOUGHT - DOD POL KEY PERSONNEL EXPERIENCE Contractors experienced with DoD POL system construction and repairs are requested to provide the following information: 1) Company name, Cage Code, DUNS, and Address. 2) Point of contact and applicable telephone numbers and e-mail addresses; 3) Any small business status for NAICS 237120 (Small Business, 8(a) Small Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business). 4) Provide a general summary/outline of your organization, to include your general experience performing DoD POL Construction, to include a general description of your firm's PMs, Supers, and QCMs that have experience performing DoD POL construction and/or repair projects. 5) Please provide any comments, feedback, and/or parameters for establishing the types of work that could potentially be set-aside for SB, as well as any comments on the anticipated Pools. 6) Indicate your CAPACITY (extent of key personnel) with EXPERIENCE executing/managing assuming the key personnel experience by completing the information below. Reminder: As DoD POL systems are unique; please do not provide information on commercial fuels work performed.
