AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Southwestern Middle East District, is seeking industry feedback on a draft Architect-Engineer Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) for the development of a new Space Campus at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, with the official solicitation anticipated in April 2028. This procurement, identified by solicitation number W912ER26RQDA4, is conducted under the Brooks Act (40 USC Chapter 11) and the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul Part 36, ensuring compliance with mandatory A-E selection procedures. The contract has a maximum ceiling of $100 million and includes a five-year base period with a single two-year option, structured as an Indefinite Delivery Contract with task orders issued on a negotiated firm-fixed-price basis. The scope encompasses site studies, master planning, comprehensive design, and construction phase support, with specialized requirements including ICD-705 compliant facilities, hardened infrastructure, ATFP measures, and the use of the Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) delivery method. All work must accommodate unique environmental and operational challenges such as karstic geotechnical terrain, regional labor and supply chain constraints, and the use of locally available materials in Qatar. Eligibility is strictly governed by pass/fail gates requiring offerors to maintain active registration in both the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE), and to hold a current SECRET Facility Clearance (FCL), verified through the CAGE code in the SF330 using the National Industrial Security System. Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format via PIEE with a Proposal Manager role, meeting strict formatting rules including 10-point Arial font, searchable bookmarks, and file naming conventions. Key personnel must have a minimum of 10 years of experience, with engineers and architects requiring at least five years post-license, and no dual-hatting is permitted. Evaluation is based on professional qualifications of key personnel, relevant international project experience (minimum $5 million A-E services outside the U.S. within the last ten years), knowledge of Qatar’s operational environment, capacity to deliver, and past performance, with tiebreakers favoring firms with less recent DoD contract obligation. A 5% small business subcontracting objective is mandated under FAR 52.219-9, and offerors must self-certify compliance with DoD CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity standards. Feedback on the draft
