This RFI shall not be construed as a formal solicitation or an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any product or service. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Participants are advised that only Air Force Contracting Officers are legally authorized to commit the Government to the obligation of funds. It does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation will be issued. Submission of any information in response to this RFI is completely voluntary, and costs associated with any submission will not be reimbursed by the Government.

Please monitor the Federal Business Opportunities (www.fbo.gov) website for future information pertaining to this potential requirement. 1.0 Background The 771 ESS/EGA is seeking additional information on Facility Demolition Services (FDS) in support of Air Force installations throughout the Continental United States (CONUS). The 771 ESS/EGA is part of the Air Force Installation Contracting Agency (AFICA). The mission of AFICA is to provide the U.S. Air Force cross-functional installation sourcing and acquisition solutions. AFICA is the Air Force's centralized organization for executing enterprise-wide sourcing of goods and services for CONUS Air Force installations. AFICA utilizes strategic sourcing best practices to continually improve and re-evaluate organizational purchasing activities improving quality and reducing costs for installation acquisition. The 771st uses cross-functional teams to strategically source goods and/or services at the enterprise level. We are continuing our market research into FDS to better understand the capabilities of the industry. The initial scope of this research includes the following services for facility demolition at Air Force installations: - Site surveys / Architectural & Engineering Services - Stand-alone demolition of buildings and associated infrastructure - Waste management -- Waste disposal -- Recycling -- Abatement (i.e. asbestos, lead-based paint, PCB, etc.) - Returning sites to usable conditions (excavation, backfilling, grading, sodding, etc.) Currently, these services are typically procured by each facility using a local base contracting office. The 771st is researching a long term strategic sourcing solution to satisfy future USAF requirements for FDS. Early market intelligence indicates that there is potential for $50M in spend over a five year period for FDS on CONUS USAF installations. 2.0 Requested Information The 771st seeks information from industry on the unique aspects or procedures for FDS throughout CONUS. We seek both large and small business respondents who are interested in supporting the Air Force's needs. The input received will help us ascertain the interest, capability, and capacity of all potential offerors. Reviews of available North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes/spend suggests the following NAICS codes may be applicable for this RFI: 238910 Site Preparation Contractors, 238990 All Other Specialty Trade Contractors. 3.0 Facility Demolition Survey UPDATE AS OF 19 OCTOBER 2015 (Amendment 1): The survey can be accessed by clicking on the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/facilitydemolitionservices.
