The contract involves an increase in the maximum value, or ceiling, of the existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract IA-NMAAEC by $15 million, raising the ceiling from $45 million to $60 million. This modification is justified under unusual and compelling urgency and represents a 33% increase to the current contract value. It is considered an in-scope change and is being publicly posted for transparency and due diligence, rather than as a solicitation for new proposals or quotes. The action aims to accommodate additional requirements while leveraging the existing contractual framework.
This announcement is associated with the Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Department of the Interior and relates to NAICS code 541330, covering professional, scientific, and technical services. The contract modification is managed from Reston, Virginia. Michael Conway is the point of contact for further information. The posting serves as a formal record of the justification and approval (J&A) for this ceiling increase, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations.
The Department of the Interior, Indian Affairs, is conducting a sources sought to identify qualified small business contractors for a future Design-Build/Design-Bid-Build Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity multiple award task order contract, known as the Southwest US Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). This contract will cover construction services across several regions including the Navajo, Southwest, Southern Plains, and Eastern Oklahoma regions, as well as for educational institutions such as the Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute and Haskell Indian Nations University. The contract will consolidate a range of construction projects varying from new construction, modular building, renovation, repair, and demolition across various facility types, including educational, medical, detention, administrative, and industrial buildings. The anticipated solicitation will be issued by fall 2023, with contract awards expected by year-end, targeting up to eight IDIQ contracts and a combined ceiling of $150 million over five years.
Contractors selected under this MATOC will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to complete projects, with individual task orders ranging from approximately $2,000 to $5 million, though larger and smaller projects may be included. Respondents must demonstrate relevant experience through multiple past projects, especially in constructing medical, educational, and detention facilities, and must comply with the Small Business Size Standard and FAR subcontracting limitations requiring at least 15% of work to be performed by the small business itself. Feedback from this sources sought will help determine the extent of small business set-asides and shape the final solicitation, though this notice itself does not represent a solicitation or commitment by the government. Responses are due by January 23, 2023, and should provide detailed project summaries, past performance information, and input on the impact of contract consolidation on firm competitiveness.
