CONTRACT INFORMATION:  General: A-E Master Planning Services Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) are being procured in accordance with (IAW) the Brooks Act (Public Law (PL) 92-582) and implemented IAW the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.6 to support projects assigned to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers SWD RPEC.  All projects outside the SWD Area of Responsibility (AOR) will be approved in coordination with the most current guidance.  Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work.  This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size.  An Architect-Engineer (A-E) MATOC with a shared capacity of $200M with a five (5) year base ordering period and one two (2) year Option period for a total ordering period of seven (7) years will be issued to support the Master Planning program. The market research analysis supports the establishment of an unrestricted solicitation with a Small Business Reserve IAW FAR 19.503, Reserves (a) and (b)(1).  This strategy will provide a target of eight (8) IDCs with a target of five (5) small businesses for a small business reserve, which could include one (1) Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business firm (SDVOSB), one (1) Women-Owned Small Business firm (WOSB) and three (3) small business (SB) firms.  The target of five (5) small business awards for the reserve will be made to those small business firms found most highly qualified IAW EP 715-1-7 paragraph 3-10.c. regardless of socioeconomic category.  A socioeconomic category preference shall not apply during the selection process.  If award cannot be made to a SDVOSB, WOSB or both, those targeted IDCs will convert to a small bushiness IDC provided small business firms are found most highly qualified IAW EP 715-1-7 paragraph 3-10.c.  The acquisition incorporates the contract reserve process IAW FAR 19.504(c)(1)(i), Orders under Reserves.  At the task order level, if the requirement under FAR 19.504(c)(1)(i) and Brooks Act is not met, task orders will be provided to all offerors within the MATOC. If the small business categories do not yield the required number of qualified firms (at least five (5) Small Businesses for the minimum target of three (3)), the reserve will be dissolved, and the Project Delivery Team (PDT) will proceed with an unrestricted action. The target of five (5) Small Business including the SDVOSB and WOSB IDCs will become a reserve as defined by FAR 19.503.  Each firm, defined as any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity permitted by law to practice the profession of architecture or engineering per FAR 36.102, will be awarded only one contract. Unique identification of the firm will be confirmed via the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).Large businesses must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal but will be required with the fee proposal of the firm selected for negotiations.  For large businesses selected for task order awards, specific subcontracting objectives will be requested and negotiated that will form the basis for task order subcontracting performance evaluation.The selected Small Business firms will be required to perform work in accordance with 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2021-O0008) should a task order be issued to firms within the small business reserve.This acquisition is being procured under North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 541320 (Landscape Architectural Services), which has a small business size standard of $8,000,000.The period of performance will begin on the date of contract award.  The ordering period will be for a total of seven (7) years consisting of a five (5) year base contract period and one two (2) year Option Period.  The contracts are anticipated to be awarded on or about August 2022.  A Minimum Guaranteed amount of $2,500 will apply to the base period for each contract.  Contracts awarded under this announcement will be administered by the RPEC and Tulsa District (SWT) Contracting.  Contract capacity may be shared with other USACE Districts when capacity allows and where the principles of the Project Delivery Business Process and ER 5-1-10 have been met.SF330 Part I and Part II updates will be requested annually on the award anniversary date.The Small Business Reserve which includes all awarded socio-economic categories will be evaluated together for award of task orders prior to the evaluation of any Unrestricted MATOC holders.  Should there be an insufficient number of highly qualified small businesses for the reserve IAW FAR 36.602, the task order will be issued to all MATOC holders and will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firm for task order award.  The Small Business will be reviewed for all task orders IAW FAR 19.504(c), Orders under Reserves and the Brooks Act.  Should FAR 19.504(c) and the Brooks Act not be met, the task order will be issued to all MATOC holders.  A Task Order Requirement Notice (TORN) will be issued for all task orders to the MATOC holders notifying them of the upcoming task order and may request additional information specific to the task order requirement.  It is expected that with the annual updates to the SF330 Part I, requests for supplemental information will occur. The task order selection board will use additional information that may be requested by the TORN, in addition to the information provided on the SF330/updated SF330, to evaluate firms for award of task orders per the selection criteria noted in paragraph 3.Eligibility for this contract award requires registration of the offeror with the System for Award Management (SAM) database and have NAICS 541320 identified on their profile. Register via the SAM Internet site at https://www.sam.gov/. Offerors will be verified by UEI number to ensure that awards for the MATOC are to unique entities.  Firms are also required to enter a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) score in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).  The NIST score is a MANDATORY responsibility item. Those without a NIST score in SPRS will be deemed NON-RESPONSIBLE and will not be eligible for award.2.
