    Debris ACI Sources Sought QnA Final.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is seeking information for the Advance Contracting Initiative (ACI) related to disaster debris management. The document outlines a request for responses from businesses regarding their capabilities in debris removal, including the types of services provided, past contract experiences, and logistics management during large-scale disaster events. Businesses are prompted to share their operational resources, workforce management strategies, technology usage, and adherence to environmental regulations. Additionally, the document addresses preferences for ACI regionalization, seeking input on whether a single-award or multiple-award task order contract structure would be more effective. It invites comments on potential challenges, particularly concerning operations outside the continental United States (OCONUS), pricing structures, and necessary improvements for the contract scope to enhance pricing opportunities. The overarching goal is to refine USACE's debris removal contracting process to optimize efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compliance, while fostering industry feedback for better contract management and disaster response capabilities.
