This document is a market research questionnaire and vendor information form for the Huntsville Engineering Architectural & Engineering Support - Engineer Services (HAESI 2.0) federal contracting opportunity. It is designed to gather key business details from potential contractors, including point of contact information, company name, CAGE code, and business size. Additionally, the form asks respondents to verify their System for Award Management (SAM) registration status under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services), confirm if they qualify as a small business under the $25.5 million size standard, and indicate whether they consent to having their corporate name published on SAM.gov to facilitate potential teaming arrangements.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Center (CEHNC) has issued a Sources Sought notice for the Huntsville Architect Engineering Support Indefinite Delivery Contract (HAESI). Under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services), this market research aims to identify qualified small and large businesses capable of providing Architect-Engineering (A-E) services to determine feasibility for potential small business set-asides. CEHNC anticipates awarding a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Contract with a estimated shared capacity of $400 million. The contract structure includes a three-year base period and two two-year options, totaling seven years. The scope of work covers secure and nonsecure sites, encompassing planning, master planning, design services, feasibility studies, and commissioning. While the majority of the work will occur at the contractors' home offices, the place of performance includes projects both inside and outside the contiguous United States, specifically mentioning Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. Interested firms must submit a maximum five-page capabilities questionnaire via email to DLL-CEHNC-HAESI2.0@usace.army.mil by the designated deadline. Submissions must detail the firm's business size, contracting arrangements, A-E experience, concurrent workload capacity, and necessary professional licensing. Additionally, respondents must address specific international requirements, such as Italy's Anti-Mafia certification and Società Organismo di Attestazione (SOA) certificate, and identify any potential barriers within the scope of work that could limit competition.

This document details the Questions and Answers (Q&As) from the HAESI 2.0 Industry Day, hosted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Huntsville Center (CEHNC). The HAESI 2.0 contract is an Architect-Engineer (A/E) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with no significant changes to the scope of work from HAESI 1.0. Key details of the upcoming procurement include: - **Acquisition Strategy:** CEHNC plans a full and open competition targeting seven awards (four Other Than Small Business and three Small Business firms). - **Timeline:** Industry Day slides, Q&As, and recordings will be posted to SAM.gov by August 19, 2026, with the official Synopsis anticipated in the second quarter of FY 2027. - **Scope & Location:** The geographic scope is strictly limited to the foreign locations specified in the solicitation. While typical space planning and furniture procurement are excluded, the contract allows for a broad range of A/E services, including Upfront Planning, Owner's Representative roles, and Construction Phase Services. - **Teaming Rules:** Firms may prime on one team and subconsult on others, or subconsult on multiple teams, provided no exclusive agreements exist. - **International Requirements:** For projects in Italy, an Anti-Mafia certification is highly encouraged at the MATOC level and mandatory prior to any Task Order awards. Specific Safe-to-Operate (SOA) qualification categories and "Knowledge of Locality" evaluation criteria will be finalized in the upcoming solicitation.
