ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING (A-E) SERVICES AT EIELSON AFB, AK. "Notice to Offeror(s)/Supplier(s): Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date for receipt of proposals. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs." The 354th Contracting Squadron is seeking qualification packages and past performance information from vendors interested in providing professional architect and engineering services at Eielson AFB, AK to repair fire alarm system in corrosion control facility. BACKGROUND: Corrosion control hangar (B1348) is a 35,969 SF facility originally constructed in 1948. It supports corrosion control and structural maintenance operations for F-16 aircraft and support equipment assigned to the 354 FW as well as tenant/transient aircraft. There have been repairs and modifications (paint booths, mezzanine) made to the facility since original construction. No asbestos or lead-based paint is expected present. The facility currently has a fire alarm system, but system components are obsolete and repairs are made difficult due to lack of adequate parts. This leaves the building and contents at risk of loss due to inadequate protection. This is a competitive selection process in which competing offeror's qualifications will be evaluated in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 36.6 to determine the most highly qualified firms. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed-Price contract. IAW FAR 36.603(b): To be considered for architect-engineer contracts, a firm must file with the appropriate office or board the Standard Form 330, "Architect-Engineer Qualifications," Part II and when applicable, SF 330, Part I. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this posting; all costs associated with responding will be solely at the interested parties' expense. Failure to respond to this post does not preclude participation in the subsequent technical evaluation so long as a firm's SF 330 is currently on file with the 354th Contracting Squadron. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. This acquisition will be a 100% Small Business set-aside.
