Sources Sought Notice for B550 Repair MCIS/Student HSG Dam Neck Annex, Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, VA

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic, issued a Sources Sought Notice for Design-Build (DB) B550 Repair MCIS/Student Housing at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is not a request for proposal but market research to identify eligible small businesses, including SDVOSB, HUB-Zone, 8(a), WOSB, and other small businesses, capable of performing the construction services. The project involves a complete repair of the 90,718 square-foot Building 550, constructed in 1978, which serves as student housing for 346 enlisted personnel. The scope of work includes replacing HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as extensive interior renovations to berthing, administrative, public restroom, vending, storage, and laundry areas. Exterior renovations include ATFP retrofits, structural repairs, replacement of brick veneer, doors, and windows, and ADA accessibility upgrades. The estimated construction cost is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. The NAICS Code is 236220, with a small business size standard of $45,000,000. Responses are due by March 24, 2026, and must include contractor information, business type, bonding capacity, and a minimum of two to a maximum of five relevant construction projects completed within the last ten years as a prime contractor. Projects must be similar in size (final cost of $50,000,000 or greater) and scope/complexity (comprehensive, whole-building renovation of commercial, industrial, dormitory, barracks, lodging, or institutional buildings, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, structural support, and hazardous material abatement). Small business offerors may utilize the experience of a small business first-tier subcontractor if they cannot independently satisfy the experience requirement.

The "SOURCES SOUGHT – CONTRACTOR INFORMATION FORM" is a standardized document designed for contractors to provide essential general information to government entities. It collects critical details such as DUNS and CAGE codes, firm name, address, and contact information for a designated point of contact. The form also requires contractors to identify their business type, including various small business certifications like SBA certified 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Woman-Owned, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses. A significant section is dedicated to bonding capacity, requesting the surety name, maximum bonding capacity per project, and aggregate maximum bonding capacity. An additional space is provided for contractors to clarify any of the requested information. The form explicitly states that its content should not be altered, ensuring consistency and ease of information collection for government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs.

The "SOURCES SOUGHT – PROJECT INFORMATION FORM" is a standardized document used by contractors to submit information on up to five relevant projects, demonstrating their experience in response to a subject announcement. Each project submission is limited to two pages and requires details such as the contractor's name, project number, contract number, title, location, award and completion dates, final contract price, and percentage of completion. The form also asks for the type of work performed (new construction, repair, or renovation), customer/owner information, and whether the contractor acted as a prime or subcontractor. Additionally, it inquires about the contract type (Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, or Other) and, if Design-Build, information about the lead design firm. A detailed description of the project and the percentage and description of work self-performed by the firm are also required. This form is crucial for government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs, enabling agencies to assess a contractor's capabilities and past performance.
