The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Caribbean District is issuing this source sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement. The USACE Caribbean District is planning a procurement for a design-build and design-bid-build multiple-award task-order contracts (DB-DBB MATOC) for construction projects in Puerto Rico and/or U.S. Virgin Islands. The MATOC would have a maximum five-year ordering period with a maximum capacity between $99M and $249.9M shared amongst the awardees. The MATOC expires at the end of the ordering period or when the maximum capacity is reached, whichever comes first.

In accordance with FAR 36.204 and DFARS 236.204, the estimated magnitude of the overall MATOC base contract is Between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

The anticipated construction magnitude for individual Task Orders issued under this MATOC is expected to span multiple FAR/DFARS brackets, ranging from a minimum of Between $500,000 and $1,000,000 up to a maximum of Between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000 (with a practical estimated ceiling of $80,000,000 per task order).
