The “CQM OFFEROR - PROJECT EXPERIENCE BLOCK 24 FORM” is an attachment to SF-330, Section F, designed for offerors to submit detailed project experience for evaluation in government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs. This form requires information such as the project number, A/E firm, offeror name, project title, and key number.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Facilities (ORF) plans to award multiple indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Architect-Engineer (A/E) and Construction Quality Management (CQM) services, totaling a $400 million ceiling over six years. Twelve A/E MATOC IDIQ contracts are anticipated, with six reserved for small businesses, including local small businesses near RTP and RML. Additionally, five CQM MATOC IDIQ contracts are expected, with two reserved for small businesses. A/E MATOC awardees are ineligible for CQM IDIQ awards. Firms must submit Standard Form 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications, by November 24, 2025, detailing specialized experience, past performance, professional qualifications, capacity, and geographic proximity to NIH campuses in Maryland, North Carolina, Arizona, and Montana. The selection process involves evaluation of SF 330s, interviews with top firms, and subsequent negotiations.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Facilities (ORF) plans to award multiple indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Architect-Engineering (A/E) services, including Commissioning Support and Construction Quality Management. This is a request for qualifications, not a Request for Proposal, seeking SF 330 submissions. Twelve IDIQ contracts are anticipated, six reserved for small businesses, with specific geographical preferences. Five additional IDIQ contracts will be awarded for Construction Quality Management and related services, with two reserved for small businesses. A/E MATOC awardees are ineligible for the Cx/CQM IDIQs. The contracts will have a six-year ordering period, a minimum guarantee of $200, and a maximum order obligation of $30 million, with a total ceiling of $400 million. Services will be ordered via firm-fixed-price task orders. Selection criteria prioritize specialized experience (especially in laboratories and healthcare facilities) and past performance, followed by professional qualifications, capacity, and geographic location. Submissions are due by October 17, 2025.

The NIH FY2026 A/E MATOC Presolicitation Notice addresses numerous questions regarding the upcoming Architecture/Engineering (A/E) and Construction Quality Management (CQM) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs). Key clarifications include submission requirements, page limits, and personnel qualifications. Two separate contract pools are anticipated: 12 A/E MATOC IDIQs for design services and 5 CQM MATOC IDIQs for CQM, Commissioning (Cx), estimating, and technical design reviews. Firms can apply for both but can only be awarded one. The A/E MATOC will be evaluated first. Specific key personnel are required for each MATOC type, and firms must be licensed in the states where they intend to work. Electronic submissions are mandatory, with hard copies no longer required. Small business goals for FY2025 will be used initially, with FY2026 goals to be shared later.
