Sources Sought A/E Firms Introduction Network Contracting Office 1 (NCO 1), supporting VA New England Healthcare System (VISN 1), is seeking potential sources for an upcoming requirement for Architect and Engineering Services as described in the attached statement of work. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION STATEMENTS (SF330). This notice is a market research tool and has not been set-aside for any small business category, but the notice is issued to determine appropriate set-aside categories. Responses to this notice, in conjunction with other Government market research resources, will be used by the contracting officer to determine the applicable socio-economic set-aside for the procurement. Failure to respond to this notice will not impact consideration of architect and engineer firms (or joint ventures) which otherwise meet set-aside requirements and submit responses to the follow-up public announcement. Once the appropriate set-aside is determined, a separate public announcement requesting qualification statements (SF330s) will be publicized on Contract Opportunities in accordance with 40 U.S. Code A 1101 and FAR 36.601. General Project Description and NAICS Synopsis of required services (See attachment for full statement of work): 650-24-102 AE Service for Install Improvements to Parking Garage, VAMC Providence, 830 Chalkstone Avenue, Providence, RI 02908. This procurement for Architect & Engineering services is assigned NAICS 541330 Engineering Services which has an SBA size standard of $25.5 million in average revenue. Magnitude of Construction: Between $5,000,000.and $10,000,000. Information Sought The Government requests a letter of interest (or similar document) with responses to the following: 1.

Provide a brief narrative on the firm s experience providing services similar to those described in the attached statement of work. 3. What would be the expected make-up of the firm s team in terms of socio-economic categories and estimated percentage of work to be completed by your firm and each subcontractor Note: If the procurement is set-aside for any category of small business, fifty percent of more of the work would need to be performed by the contractor or a similarly situated subcontractor in terms of percentage of cost. For instance, if set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), 50% or more of the contract would need to be performed by verified SDVOSBs no other small business categories would count towards the percentage. If the procurement is set-aside for either SDVOSB or VOSB, the prime contractor would be required to certify compliance by providing a signed copy of VA Clause 852.219-75 with their fee proposal. If the procurement is not set-aside and reaches certain dollar thresholds, the Government would negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan to utilize small business concerns. 4.
