Title of Project: Architect-Engineer (A/E) Fire Protection Engineering and supporting services
Description:

The National Park Service (NPS), Washington Contracting Office (WCO), 12795 West Alameda Parkway, Denver, Colorado, 80225, is seeking qualified Small Business firm(s) or organization(s) to provide Architect-Engineer (A/E) Fire Protection Engineering and supporting services under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a variety of projects within National Park Service units either on-site at various DOI locations throughout the United States, its territories and possessions, Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and the District of Columbia or off-site at the Contractor's facility.
Work performed under an IDIQ as contemplated in this Request for Qualifications must be performed by individuals licensed or certified in at least one state or protectorate. It is difficult to anticipate ahead of time which disciplines NPS may require services to be performed under any given task order. Therefore firms, either on their own or in combination with subcontractors, provided compliance with the limitation on subcontracting is met, must have or be eligible to acquire professional qualifications, including license in various DOI locations throughout the United States, its territories and possessions, Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and the District of Columbia as necessary for the completion of a task order within 30 days of being notified of most highly qualified status. This restriction is necessary to meet licensure and certification requirements as well as to avoid undue delay in meeting agency requirements as they arise while taking into consideration concerns for human health and safety. As such, firms must demonstrate that they are or are capable of being or are eligible to be licensed or certified in any of the required disciplines within 30 days of being notified of most highly qualified status.
Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that two (2) negotiated firm-fixed price IDIQ contracts will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price.

Estimated Price Range: $5 million each contract

Estimated Period of Performance: April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031

Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents
