The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) is the Center of Excellence for Facilities Repair and Renewal (FRR). Facility Repair and Renewal contracts are intended to provide quick response for facility repair, renovation, conversion, alteration, additions, construction, equipment procurement/installation, and maintenance services on installed equipment/systems at Government installations and facilities. CEHNC is seeking capability statements from firms interested in proposing on an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for design-build services/construction in support of the Facility Repair and Renewal Program in the Continental United States and Overseas. CEHNC anticipates a twenty four (24) month base ordering period and three (3) twelve (12) month optional ordering periods; for a five (5) year total ordering period. The anticipated contract capacity is estimated at $450M. Locations include all of Contiguous United States to include the District of Columbia; outside the Contiguous United States includes Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Yemen, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Cuba, Azores, Germany, Kwajalein, Spain, Italy, Israel, Poland, Turkey, Greenland, England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Diego Garcia, Shemya Island, Australia, and the Ascension Island. A decision will be made on the extent it is feasible and proper to reserve awards to conventional small business and 8(a) concerns as part of our suite of FRR contractors. As a result, the Government is performing market research in order to determine if small businesses possess the capability to execute the requirements within this acquisition. It is anticipated that there will be three (3) pools that make up the FRR suite of contractors. Where possible, the three suites would be: 8(a), small business, and unrestricted. The 8(a) pool will be able to compete within the small business pool. Awardees in the unrestricted pool may not compete in the other pools; however, small businesses may compete in the unrestricted pool. Task order awards will be firm-fixed price.
