Cancellation-JBER-AF Program-AE Multidiscipline MATOC (IDIQ)

This solicitation, identified as W911KB26RA019, titled “Cancellation-JBER-AF Program-AE Multidiscipline MATOC (IDIQ),” was officially cancelled due to a change in mission glide path, and no award will be issued. Originally structured as an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), it was designed to provide architectural and engineering services exclusively for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, with a total potential contract value ceiling of $600 million across up to seven awardees, each guaranteed a minimum of $3.5 million. The scope required comprehensive multidisciplinary expertise, including licensed architects, engineers, and specialists in cold-region design (ASHRAE Climate Zones 7 and 8), all of whom had to demonstrate at least 10 years of post-degree experience, with specific disciplines requiring active SECRET clearances at proposal submission and the prime contractor maintaining a Facility Security Clearance. Cybersecurity compliance was mandatory, requiring CMMC Level 2 certification for all systems handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information, along with NIST SP 800-171 adherence and successful Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) scores. The selection process emphasized qualifications over price, following the Brooks Act and FAR Subpart 36.6, making it a best-value trade-off rather than LPTA, with technical superiority determining award, and specialized experience in cold-region infrastructure, sustainable design, and design-build RFP preparation serving as tie-breakers. Proposals demanded strict documentation of in-house technical capacity, prohibiting the subcontracting of cold-region design expertise, and required submission of SF 330 forms detailing personnel qualifications, small business participation goals, and subcontracting plans for large businesses, with subcontracting targets set for small, disadvantaged, HUBZone, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. All deliverables had to comply with government standards, including BIM, Revit, AutoCAD, M II cost estimating software, and SPECSINTACT specifications, with performance limited to Alaska, primarily at JBER. Despite the cancellation, future opportunities may arise under a similar but potentially lower-value structure focused solely on Alaska and USACE.
