1.0 INTRODUCTION & PURPOSE This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for market research, planning, and information-gathering purposes in accordance with FAR Part 10 and FAR 15.201.

This is not a Sources Sought synopsis or a Request for Proposal (RFP).

No contract will be awarded directly from this posting, and the Government is under no obligation to issue a solicitation based on this notice.

The 434th Contracting Flight (434 CONF/PK), in coordination with the 434th Civil Engineer Squadron (434 CES) at Grissom Air Reserve Base, is seeking technical feedback from the commercial construction and unit-price estimating software industry.

The primary goal of this RFI is to gather industry input on a streamlined, performance-based acquisition structure for a future SABER contract.

The Government is particularly interested in receiving feedback on how to structure its pricing database requirements to maximize open competition, eliminate the administrative burden of traditional "mock projects," and prevent post-award "Non-Prepriced Item (NPI) creep." 2.0 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION & ANTICIPATED STRATEGY The Government is planning a Single-Award Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) SABER contract with the following anticipated structure: Estimated Ordering Ceiling: $9,000,000.00 over a five (5) year ordering period.

Minimum Contract Guarantee: $2,000.00 (to be obligated at time of basic contract award).

Scope of Work: Multi-trade maintenance, repair, minor construction, and renovation projects across real property facilities at Grissom ARB.

Core trades include carpentry, roofing, excavation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, masonry, demolition, concrete, and localized hazardous material abatement.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.

This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
