Z -- Blanket Ordering Agreement's (BOA's), Military Installations Within the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) District of Nashville

THIS IS AN 8(a), HUBZone, AND SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southern Division is seeking interest from 8(a), HUBZone, and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firm's participants with bona-fide places of business in the Nashville District Office of the Small Business Administration (SBA). The Navy is targeting the issuance of approximately fifteen (15) Blanket Ordering Agreements (BOA's), 5 - 8(a)'s, 5 - HUBZone's, and 5 - SDVOSB's. The estimated period of performance will be three (3) years with the Government reserving the right to grant extensions for up to two (2) years, with no single extension exceeding one year in accordance with DFARS 216.703(c). BOA's are designed to provide enhanced contracting opportunities to qualified firms under the 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB serviced by the United States SBA District Offices. The BOA is not a contract but a written instrument of understanding negotiated between Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southern Division (Navy) and the 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms to facilitate the expeditious acquisition of covered services, and if and when ordered. The BOA Holders will receive contract clauses, provisions, certifications, terms and conditions, which will apply to the extent referenced therein and according to the dollar amount of each BOA and shall constitute a separate contract with the issuance of a task order. On a semi-annual basis, the Navy and the SBA Headquarters will review the continued need for this agreement in light of (a) a usefulness and need for service, and (b) the effectiveness of individual contractors. When the Navy has a specific work requirement suitable for accomplishment under the BOA, they will provide written plans and specifications, or in some cases a design concept only, to the BOA holders for submission of a proposal. If the parties are able to come to an agreement, a contractual document, i.e. task order, will be issued and the BOA holder will be required to furnish the necessary personnel, material, labor, equipment, supervision, and overhead required to perform the work within the specified time allotted in the task order, as directed by the Contracting Officer. Competition for the BOA task orders shall be restricted to the BOA holders in the SBA District noted in this synopsis. However, the Government reserves the right to open the area of competition if unable to obtain adequate competition. There is no guaranteed minimum dollar amount or volume of work that will be ordered under this agreement, but there is a threshold minimum of less than or equal to $2,500.00 that can be placed on a task order with a maximum of $1,000,000.00. The Contractor will be required to furnish a Bid Bond with each proposal over $25,000.00 with Performance and Payment Bonds required on each task order. There is no assurance from the BOA of a steady stream of work. Nothing in the BOA is intended to state or imply any agreement by the Navy to place future contracts or orders with the BOA holder or to require that the Navy solicit and acquire covered services from the BOA Holders only. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The anticipated work requires a diversity of skills suitable to a variety of tasks. Covered work includes, but is not limited to, the following types. EMERGENCY REPAIRS: Broken and leaking water lines, gas lines, sewers, storm drains, electric power lines, phone lines, associated structures, interior building repairs, broken doors, and windows, etc., exterior repairs, roof leaks, related repairs caused by wind damage, flooding, etc., mechanical problems, HVAC, and others.

If a firm is graduating from the 8(a) program by the end of each annual review of the agreement, no new orders will be issued to the agreement holder and the agreement will be terminated. Termination of the agreement under those circumstances shall not have an affect on any orders previously issued. Either party may cancel the agreement with 30 days written notice to the other party. Any cancellation will not have any effect on previously issued task order prior to the effective date of the cancellation. The agreement holders maybe required to submit a brief technical proposal or work plan and a list of proposed subcontractors for Navy approval as well as a price proposal.
