Offerors must have the ability to offer all Services listed below as a part of one contract between ARMDC and the Offeror.  To meet this requirement, Offerors are encouraged to assemble a team of internal and external professionals that give the selected lead firm the ability to perform all Special Inspections listed in the scope of work as one contract.  Offerors are encouraged to limit their submission to the Specialty Area(s) where they have a proven track record in all sub-areas. It is not necessary for firms to submit a proposal addressing all Specialty Areas, they may submit a proposal for a single Specialty Area. If firms are responding to more than one Specialty Area, they should submit a separate section in their proposal for each area. More than one firm may be selected for any individual Specialty Area.

At its sole discretion, ARMDC reserves the right to issue a Request for Task Order Proposal under an IDIQ contract to any Offeror selected for a Specialty Area based upon ARMDC or HACP’s need for services. Selection of a firm(s) under a Specialty Area does not guarantee that a Task Order will be issued during the contract period. Firm(s) will only provide services under the Specialty Area to which a firm was awarded the contract; however, each Specialty Area contains all aspects of that area and may crossover into other areas.

Lead staff members that will be assigned to work with ARMDC or HACP shall have five (5) or more years of experience in the Specialty Area to which the Firm is responding. Résumés of the qualified staff must be submitted as part of the proposal submission, including but not limited to, certifications, accreditations and/or licenses, if applicable.
