The 30th Contracting Squadron is publicizing this SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE in order to gather industry information and input with respect to a potential Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) program at Vandenberg AFB, CA. No solicitation is being issued at this time. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation for Bid (IFB), and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be made as a result. The Air Force will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice. Any future solicitation, including specifications and/or drawings, will be made available only on the Federal Business Opportunities website (https://www.fbo.gov/). Interested Parties are solely responsible for monitoring the aforementioned website for the release of a solicitation package and/or any updates and/or amendments. The government is seeking to identify qualified, experienced, and interested potential businesses capable of performing the type of work as described herein. The envisioned MACC program would consist of multiple, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts to provide a vehicle for executing a broad range of maintenance, repair and new construction of buildings, facilities, or base infrastructure, performed under a design/build or just build process. In general, MACC program contractors would be given fair opportunity to compete for projects described in individual task order solicitations and would be expected to accomplish a wide variety of construction tasks, including design/build, renovation, additions/upgrades, and new construction integrating multiple construction trades/disciplines. Work may include full project design from a concept or performance-oriented statement of work. In-house design capability or ready access to design capability is a must for projects under MACC. For the purpose of this Request for Information (RFI), the anticipated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 / Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a size standard of $33,500,000.

The information requested by this RFI will be used within the Air Force to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency. Should a future requirement evolve from this preliminary planning process, it is anticipated that as many as ten (10) contracts could be awarded, each for a term consisting of one base year plus four, 1-year option periods. Task Orders written against MACC contracts are anticipated to range between $2,000 and $7,500,000. The overall program value is still under consideration; accordingly, at this point it is roughly anticipated to range between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000 over a five-year period.
