The ordering period will be ten (10) years from award. All task orders awarded under this A/E IDIQ will be FFP. This contract will be used to support the design efforts for the construction of a new 850,000 square foot (sq. ft.) to 1,000,000 sq. ft. facility that will support all manufacturing needs for the BEP east coast currency production operations. Some administrative functions from the Main and Annex Buildings in Washington, D.C., and Landover, MD will also be transitioned to the new facility. The estimated magnitude for construction of the new production facility is $500,000,000 - $850,000,000. This estimated magnitude includes design and construction phase services, as well as the procurement of non-production equipment (i.e., IT, AV, and security equipment). This new facility will be located within the National Capital Region and is anticipated to be similar to the Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The award will be made under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330, Engineering Services, with a small business size standard of $15M in average annual receipts. Anticipated award date is January 2020. In addition, the requirements for this procurement will include, but are not limited to: (1) Material movement (i.e., movement of material from storage areas to production line, movement of work-in-progress between production equipment); (2) Space management (i.e., balance of administrative workspace vs. production operation space (laboratory, print rooms, research and development, storage, etc.) to allow for collaboration of management and technical experts regarding production and manufacturing issues); (3) Waste Management (i.e., hazardous waste management (storage and disposal, to include waste associated with required operation and maintenance (O&M) of printing equipment); ventilation systems that effectively mitigate industrial exhaust); (4) Evaluation of the possible employment of automated material handling systems (i.e., barcode and/or quick response (QR) codes to track and manage material) and robotic material movement to minimize delays on the production line; (5) Inclusion of required security protocols (i.e., cages and vaults) and systems for secured areas for currency paper and some inks, research functions, quality assurance, and certain disposal processes; and (6) Development of all major utility infrastructure systems to provide service to the new facility.
