Contract Award Date: Jul 06, 2023 Contract Award Number: W912DR23D0014 Task/Delivery Order Number: Contractor Awarded Unique Entity ID: FL1UPMZCC5S8 Contractor Awarded Name: TETRA TECH, INC. Contractor Awarded Address: Pittsburgh, PA 15220 USA Base and All Options Value (Total Contract Value): $200,000,000.00 CONTRACT INFORMATION. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District (NAB) plans to award a target of eight (8) separate Architect/Engineer (A/E) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to comprise one (1) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for A/E services to support Hazardous, Toxic, Radioactive Waste (HTRW) and Military Munitions (MM) projects. These contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks Act as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.6 and agency supplements. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The A/E Services will support various, nationwide environmental support projects. The contracts will be used for projects within USACE's NAD mission AOR, with incidental utilization in the contiguous United States and in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, excluding Europe, in support of other USACE regions. The approximately eight (8) IDIQs will be negotiated and awarded with a five (5)-year ordering period. In accordance with FAR 19.503, Reserves, this acquisition is being issued under one synopsis as an Unrestricted MATOC with a Small Business Reserve. The capacity of these contracts will be a combined $200M shared amongst all firms awarded contracts. USACE will award a minimum of three (3) unrestricted contracts and a minimum of three (3) Small Business contracts of any socioeconomic category. The target number of awards within each category (Large and Small Business) is four (4) contracts per category. Task orders will be competed amongst the MATOC holder's A/E Selection procedures pursuant to FAR Subpart 36.6 in accordance with EP 715-1-7, the USACE Task Order Requirements Notification (TORN) Process, and FAR 16.505(b)(1). Small Business MATOC holders will be considered for all task orders. Unrestricted MATOC holders will be considered on task orders that are not reserved for Small Businesses. The minimum guarantee amount over the life is $5,000 for each of the MATOC contracts. Awards will be made under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330, Engineering Services. This code currently defines the Small Business size standard as $16.5M of gross annual revenues. The Small Business Administration is proposing to update this size standard definition in 2022 but has not yet been made. Determination of which pool a firm is to be evaluated in (Large or Small Business) will be made based on the size standard in effect as of a selection decision by Baltimore District. An amendment notifying firms of any change in the NAICS 541330 size standard will be issued for this synopsis should that determination be made during the solicitation period. Firms should structure their SF330 submission accordingly. Awards are anticipated by August 2022. A firm can submit a proposal as a Prime on the Small Business reserve and as a teaming subcontractor to a Large Business on the unrestricted award. However, the Agency's intent is that a particular offeror may only receive one (1) award as a prime contractor under this IDIQ. For example, if the same firm submits as a Prime on both the Small Business reserve and the unrestricted award, the firm can only obtain one (1) award of an IDIQ, not two (2). Secondly, while there is no proscription against a firm submitting a proposal as a Prime on the Small Business reserve and as a teaming subcontracting on the unrestricted award. We do note that being both a prime and subcontractor on an IDIQ can sometimes raise risks in the technical evaluation, and potential questions regarding Organizational Conflicts of Interest, if both entities decide to propose on the same task order. For example, if a firm is a key subcontractor for five different proposals, it could raise questions in regards to whether the firm had the total resources to support each procurement, which could impact the technical evaluation of the offerors. If selected for negotiation, large businesses will be required to submit subcontracting plans that address small business utilization and provide maximum practicable opportunities to Small Business (SB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) , Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUB Zone), Small Disadvantaged, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Historically Black College University (HBCU) or Minority Institutions (MI) and Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB). If USACE finds a prospective firm to be non-compliant with their subcontracting plans on previous contracts, the firm may not be eligible for award under this synopsis. Small businesses are not required to submit subcontracting plans as part of their response. The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal but will be required with the price proposal of the large firms selected. To be eligible for a contract award, a firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov. Inherently governmental functions will not be performed by firms per FAR Part 7.5. Contracts awarded as a result of this announcement will be administered by the Baltimore District; however, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to approve capacity requests from other Districts outside of the Baltimore Districts mission boundaries to support USACE missions, when advantageous to the Government. In accordance with FAR section 36.604 and the supplements thereto, and upon final acceptance or termination, a performance evaluation will be prepared at least annually and at the time the task order is completed for all task orders above $35,000. A performance evaluation may be prepared for task orders below $35,000. interim performance evaluations may be prepared for a task order at any time. Performance evaluations will be maintained for use in future source selections for A-E services. (1) PROJECT INFORMATION.
