A-E IDIQ- SYNOPSIS

The Tennessee National Guard is seeking to identify qualified sources capable of providing statewide Architect and Engineer (A-E) services under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, supporting both the Air and Army National Guard programs across Tennessee. This market research aims to gather industry input and gauge interest from small businesses, including various small disadvantaged, woman-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, with specific subcontracting goals outlined. The contract will span a five-year ordering period with an option to extend for an additional six months, and work will be assigned through negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders typically valued between $2,000 and $5 million. The scope of services encompasses a broad range of professional engineering and architectural tasks, including planning, design, environmental studies, construction support, inspections, and specialized services for military facilities such as aircraft hangars, support buildings, secure facilities, and other infrastructure supporting the National Guard’s operational needs. Interested firms are invited to submit a statement of intent by November 6, 2024, detailing their organizational capabilities, relevant project experience over the past six years, resources, key personnel, and subcontracting plans. The response should also include feedback on the achievability of the small business subcontracting goals and any potential challenges. The solicitation emphasizes that awards will be based on professional qualifications rather than competitive bidding, in accordance with FAR 36.6, and that the upcoming official solicitation will be posted in compliance with federal procurement laws. This effort is part of the government’s planning process, and participation is voluntary, with no costs incurred for responses. The contract aims to support a variety of military construction and facility maintenance projects across Tennessee, ensuring the National Guard’s infrastructure meets operational and safety standards.
