P1334 CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

The Navy is conducting a market research effort to identify small business sources capable of constructing a new Child Development Center (CDC) at Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads in Norfolk, Virginia, with an anticipated project value between $25 million and $100 million. The project involves building a ground-level, handicap-accessible facility designed to support 300 children, featuring activity rooms for various age groups, administrative offices, support spaces such as kitchens and laundry rooms, and outdoor playgrounds with play equipment and shade structures. The construction will utilize a concrete slab on grade with structural piles, CLT roofing, fiber cement siding, standing seam metal roofing, and integrated mechanical and electrical systems, including sound attenuation features for interior spaces. The government is seeking responses from small businesses, including SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), WOSB, and other small firms, to assess their capability and experience, particularly in projects of similar size, scope, and complexity, completed within the last ten years. Interested firms must submit detailed responses by January 30, 2025, including company information, bonding capacity, and relevant project experience demonstrating expertise in areas such as fire protection, HVAC, CLT construction, civil work, and structural support. The responses will inform whether the procurement will be set aside for small businesses or issued as unrestricted. The government emphasizes that large businesses are ineligible to participate in this sources sought. Additionally, the notice includes a requirement for a justification and approval process for using brand name or equal items in the construction, with specific manufacturer and product standards outlined. All submissions must be made electronically to the designated Navy contact, and further questions should be directed via email.
