FedBizOpps ? PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE
The Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition and Procurement Office, anticipates the award a multiple award IDIQ contract for multiple professional moving service contractors to provide logistical services. These services would encompass continued logistical services in support of the Pentagon Renovation Project. The services primarily involve relocating furniture and other office equipment within the Pentagon per schedules to be developed after award. In addition, these services could be used on a WHS Enterprise-wide basis to support relocations of DoD components from leased space in the National Capitol Region (NCR) to Fort Belvoir, VA or other preferred site alternatives in the NCR, and as mandated by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act and/or other WHS operational requirements. Moves would occur both within the Pentagon itself, and from, and to other DoD locations.
The Pentagon Renovation Project encompasses a complete internal renovation of the entire Pentagon facility including the logistical support and activities required to ready the space for construction and the final tenant moves required when the renovated spaces become fully operational. As of March 1, 2008 there remains approximately 1.4 million square feet and 11,000 staff positions, which will be impacted by future renovation activities. In addition to relocations within the Pentagon, WHS Enterprise-wide related activities may encompass the relocation of approximately 6,200 personnel from leased or government-owned locations in the National Capitol Region including the Pentagon to other leased and/or government-owned locations within the National Capitol Region.
The government requires that the move service contractors provide and manage all move-related services, to include any surplus. The moves could be internal (within the Pentagon), external (within the NCR), or a combination of the two. Internal and external moves usually consist of between 30 and 110 personnel in a day, including classified materials and some specialized equipment. The moves generally occur on a daily basis (potentially Monday through Saturday) at a rate of 250-300 personnel a week. This, in turn, will occur during a two to four month period of intense activity; i.e., moves every day of every week followed by a lull in activity of 6-10 months. Many of the moves will be internal to the Pentagon but, because of construction activities, may often involve lengthy move routes (?pushes?) of between 1,320 and 3,960 feet in length. Similarly, moves out of and into the Pentagon itself as well as surplus activities, because they involve moving furniture and equipment in to or out of the Pentagon through the Remote Deliver Facility (RDF), may require even more lengthy move routes since the distance from the RDF itself to the top of the RDF connector is 1380 feet. Also note that the ramp from the RDF is on an uphill incline. Offerors must plan for security-related delays such as the requirement to badge all workers and inspect vehicles that enter and leave the Pentagon or other secure facilities.
The solicitation will be issued on an unrestricted basis. The maximum potential ceiling of the IDIQ is $10 million, with individual task orders being competed amongst the resultant contracts on firm-fixed price basis. The performance period is five (5) years, consisting of a base year and four (4) one-year option periods. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 484210.
The RFP is anticipated for release to the vendor community the week of March 31 through April 04, 2008, and will be available for access via the FedbizOpps website. A pre-proposal conference and site tour is projected for the week of April 07 through the April 11, 2008. Interested parties must respond to the RFP in order to be considered for award of any resultant contract. Potential offerors are requested to direct all questions via e-mail to keanna.maxwell@whs.mil. Please ensure the RFP number and project title is referenced on all correspondence.
Although offerors will not need a facility clearance for this requirement, employees will have to undergo a NCIC check in order to secure a badge.
NOTICE TO OFFERORS: IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION SUBPART 4.11 CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION, PROSPECTIVE VENDORS MUST BE REGISTERED IN CCR PRIOR TO THE AWARD OF A CONTRACT; BASIC AGREEMENT, BASIC ORDERING AGREEMENT, OR BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THIS SOLICITATION EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE.
