R -- Ten Year Capital Expenditures Planning Study

The Bureau of the Public Debt, representing the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH), intends to award a sole-source contract to URS Group Inc. for a Ten Year Capital Expenditures Planning Study to be conducted at the AFRH's Washington, DC Campus. This action is not a solicitation but a notice of intent based on the unique capabilities of URS Group Inc., as allowed under FAR 8.405-7(a)(4)(i), which permits other than full and open competition when only one source is deemed capable of performing the work. Interested parties may submit affirmative responses by February 23, 2007, demonstrating their ability to provide the required services or a functional equivalent under more advantageous terms, though no solicitation documents are available. Affirmative responses must reference the solicitation number BPD-ARFH-07-CI-0002-SS and include sufficient documentation to show capacity to meet the contract requirements. These responses will be considered in lieu of requests for solicitation documents, which do not count as affirmative interest. Should no suitable alternative be identified, the contract will proceed with URS Group Inc. The contracting officer overseeing this process is Wayne G. Buechler, who can be contacted for further information. The contract falling under NAICS code 541330 underscores its focus on professional engineering services related to capital planning and expenditure analysis.
