SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: This synopsis is for the purpose of obtaining market
research only. NO PROPOSALS ARE BEING REQUESTED OR ACCEPTED UNDER THIS SYNOSPIS
OR UNDER THIS SOLICITATION NUMBER. No reimbursement will be made for any costs
associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any
follow-up information requests. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth
District, will use information obtained under this synopsis to develop an
acquisition strategy to meet the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Custom
and Border Protection (CBP) Infrastructure Supply Program needs. The intent of
this synopsis is to access industrys (large and small business concerns
(including 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Historically U nderutilized
Business Zone (HUBZone) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
(SDVOSB)) capable and interested in providing various construction material and
supplies to support the DHS/CBP Infrastructure Supply Program within the
Southwestern Re gion (California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas), Northwestern
Region (Washington), and Northeastern Region ((Michigan and New York) of the
United States. The DHS/CBP infrastructure supply program need is estimated to
be $300 Million over the next five y ears. Of the $300 Million, it is
estimated that ninety percent (90%) of the infrastructure supply program
placement will occur in the Southwestern Region. The anticipated North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) code related to this program is 444190,
with corresponding Standard Industrial Code (SIC) 5211; Business Size Stardard
is $6.5 Million. It is anticipated that the DHS/CBP Infrastructure Supply
Program need may be meet through the use of a multiple award process to
establish various Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity
(IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs). The multiple award
approach results in the establishment of qualified pools of contractors (each
pool may have 3 to 6 firms) that may compete un der an IDIQ MATOC to provide the
required supplies. It is anticipated that a total of four MATOCs (2
Southwestern Region and 1 each for the Northwestern and Northeastern) may be
awarded to support the DHS/CBP Infrastructure Supply Program. Each MATOC will
include a minimum order limitation that is anticipated to be $2,500 and a
maximum order limitation that is anticipated to range from $3-$5 Million. The
maximum order limitation may be decreased based on industrys capability as
annotated in response to t his synopsis. The Government is seeking qualified,
experienced and reliable sources capable of providing simultaneously the
delivery of various construction materials and supplies needed to support
infrastructure supply projects. These projects may be lo cated in remote areas
based on the location of the local CBP Sector and may be needed to support
infrastructure ion requiements such as, roads, low-water crossings, temporary
and permanent vehicle barriers, pedestrian barriers, stadium lighting, fencing,
a nd bridges. Typical supplies for these requirements often include, but is not
limited to, concrete, tubing, steel, fence material, aggregate, asphalt, relay
rail, barbed wire, compressed cylinders, wood, plastic, pvc material, asphalt
roof cement, quickcre te, sealer concrete, silica sand, hoists, tubes, tools,
various metals, fiber boxes, etc. Considering the $300 Million program amount
and the anticipated supplies, approximately 15% would be concrete (typically 300
psi), 20% for tubing (which could be squ are or round tubing, typically 5 inch
or 6 inch square, or 4 inch to 6 inch round tubing, with wall thicknesses of
0.25 inch or greater), 20% for various aggregate base or other fill materials,
and 15% Relay Rail (number 1 to 90 pounds). The remaining 30% is for
miscellaneous materials and or supplies. An example of an anticipated delivery
order for material is: Delivery supplies for one (1) mile (length) of v ehicle
barrier material: 580 each 5x5x0.25 square tubing (21 feet long); 264 each
5x5x0.25 square tubing (20 feet long); 250 Cubic Yards of concrete (3000 psi);
700 pounds Welding Rods; 8 O2 Bottles; and 8 acetelyne bottles. Another example
is: Deliver 10 0 feet (length) of BOLLARD FENCE installed on 8.5 inch centers
which may require the following supplies and or materials: 20 6x6x0.25 length of
pipe. Other material options might be 1500 6x6x.280 std pipe X 21 new; 1500
6X6x.250 square tubing at 20 new; 15 00 6x4x.188 rec tubing at 20 new; concrete
3000 PSI; 4 OD Pipe Fill; 4 O2 bottles; 4 acetelyne bottles, etc. It is
anticipated that the MATOC will include requirements to provide rapid delivery
for required material. The anticipated rapid delivery period may range from
24-72 hours from receipt of the delivery order. The standard delivery period is
anticipated to range from 48 hours to 2 weeks from receipt of the delivery
order. Large deliveries may be staggered to accommodate mission requirements.
