This notice is not a Request for Proposal (RFP); it is a market research tool being utilized to determine the availability of sources; obtain feedback on the proposed acquisition contract arrangement and comment on the technical documents prior to issuing a RFP.
The intent of this sources sought notice is to identify potential Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disable Veteran Owned or Women-Owned Small Business firms capable of performing a design build project to upgrade the electrical switchgear and modernize elevators at the Richland Federal Building located in Richland, WA. The NAICS codes are 238210 for Electrical Specialty and 238290 for Elevator Specialty with a size standard of $14 million average annual gross receipt for the preceding three fiscal years. The results of the Source Sought response will help determine if there is adequate competition to set-aside for a given business classification or conduct a full and open (unrestricted) procurement and determine the issuance of the two related projects under stand-alone contracts or under a single contract.
If the Government proceeds with the procurement, a solicitation announcement will be published on the Federal Business Opportunities site. The government intends to utilize Best Value Source Selection Procedures considering technical factors and price. The Government will not pay for effort expended in responding to this notice.
