GSA PBS Region 7 is contemplating a solicitation for General Construction, Repair, and Alteration services. GSA PBS is seeking information about contractors’ ability to provide timely, cost-effective, and quality general construction, repair, and alteration services with the optimum geographic coverage for numerous states. The anticipated multiple award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts would service geographic locations within the following states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. IDIQ contracts would be awarded by zone, which are broken out by county/parish on the attached list.

GSA PBS Region 7 anticipates awarding multiple IDIQ contracts per zone (potentially 4-6), and the maximum ordering limitation (MOL) annual total for each IDIQ would vary by zone (potentially between $2M and $6M per year, although the MOL does not indicate the actual value of orders ultimately awarded under an IDIQ). Historically, the majority of Large pool projects may have an average value of approximately $400,000, while the Small pool projects may have an average value of approximately $65,000 however, projects could potentially be as small as $2,000 or as large as $3,500,000. These IDIQ contracts could have a period of performance of five years, potentially separated into a base period and one or more option periods. 

The anticipated contracts will not include pre-negotiated line item pricing. Task order proposals will be submitted with detailed pricing per division using the current version of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Master format. The price will include labor, materials, travel, markups, indirect cost, profit, and overhead, and all other costs required to successfully accomplish the task order. If any portion of the work is to be performed on a Unit Price basis, the Unit Price shall include all costs of coordinating and incorporating the unit-priced portion of the work into the base contract work. Task orders will be awarded via competition among the primary zone IDIQ contract holders, and be competed among the awardees using criteria established at the task order level. GSA PBS Region 7 task order Contracting Officers could also choose to compete a task order of any size among the primary zone IDIQ contract holders and potentially those in one or more Region 7 secondary zones as well.
