This competition is 100% Set-Aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms who are capable of performing the requirements under the categories described below and it is in accordance with Public Law 109-461, the Veterans Benefits, Healthcare and Information Technology Act of 2006, Pursuant to 38 USC 8127 and 8128. The SDVOSB must be registered with and verified by the Center for Veterans Enterprise, (CVE), at www.vetbiz.gov as well as have submitted the current cycle VETS-100 Report per the requirements located at http://www.dol/gov/vets/contractor/main.htm. Failure of a proposed SDVOSB to be certified by the CVE at the time the SF 330 is submitted shall result in elimination from consideration as a proposed contractor. In accordance with VA Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside, a service disabled veteran-owned small business concern agrees that, in the performance of the contract, at least 50 percent of the cost of personnel for contract performance will be spent for employees of the concern or employees of other service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Companies must also be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) database at www.sam.gov and have completed online Representations and Certifications prior to contract award. The NAICS Codes are 541310 (Architect Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services). The small business size standard is $7.5M and $15M respectively.

The contract duration will be for a period of 5 (five) years (one (1) base year plus four (4) one-year options) from the date of contract award. The intention is to award one single IDIQ contract; however, the Government reserves the right to award multiple contracts, with MEDVAMC having the ability to utilize this contract. The minimum guaranteed contract amount is $10,000 for the base year only. There is no limit on the number of task orders. Each task order's value will be limited to $1,000,000 maximum, and the total cumulative task orders amount shall not exceed $4,500,000 for the entire five year contract period.

The following is the project overview: 1.	After a task order is issued, the A/E shall develop three (3) conceptual plans for VA selection. The selected plan will be developed further to include space programs and related details. The space planning must address improvement of work flow based on sequence of operations. i.	All designs must adhere to VA, JCAHO, NFPA, and life safety latest requirements. The A-E shall prepare all design documents in conformance with, but not limited to, the applicable portions of the following: 1.

VA Master Construction Specifications shall be used as the basis for the production of specifications to suit the separate work requirements of the individual items contained in the project. Extraneous material that does not apply to the project must be deleted. While relevant items should be covered in full scope to assure compliance by the contractor and quality construction, the use of notes and/or pictures on the drawings both to accentuate important items in the specifications, and/or to take the place of lengthy written specifications for routine or simple items is encouraged. Entire specifications for simple projects of low monetary value may be by notes on the drawings. Projects should be designed with LEED certification in mind. Certification may or may not be pursued. iii.	The A-E will also provide a date of publication for all industry, association and Government standards referenced in the specifications. The date used will be the current publication date of the standard at the time of design. It is not acceptable to state "use the latest or current issue". iv.	The new renovation will be matched with the hospital standards. The interiors design will require development of space program to meet the VA standard and users' requirements. The A/E is required to meet with the users to develop three (3) conceptual design plans with different space configuration including cost estimates for VA approval and selection. The A/E will prepare equipment layouts for new equipment as required by the equipment's manufacturer specifications and drawings. 2.	The Architect/Engineer shall survey the area and verify existing space, study adequacy of square footage for each function, analyze utility systems and verify as built drawings. Existing drawings may not be complete, and the Government neither warrants nor guarantees the accuracy of these documents. The A-E is to conduct its own independent and complete investigation of the currently existing conditions without reliance on any Government-Furnished or provided plans/drawings and specifications. 3.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center | Published May 23, 2016 - Deadline June 10, 2016
NASA/CENTER has a requirement for test data on a Moog DST-13 5 lbf bipropellant engine. These data are needed to verify the capability of this engine to meet critical operational requirements for the Europa Clipper mission. The DST-13 engine to be tested during this program is surplus from a previous GSFC program and will be provided to the supplier. The propellants for this engine are MON-3 and monomethylhydrazine (MMH). The supplier shall modify the engine by installing a new set of trim orifices to achieve the desired thrust and mixture ratio. Water flow tests shall be conducted before and after the trimming operation to verify the desired conditions have been achieved. The supplier shall then mount the engine in a vacuum test chamber and conducts test at various conditions to 1. Measure the engine steady-state thrust and specific impulse over a range of feed pressures and propellant temperatures2. Measure the minimum impulse bit (IBIT) and specific impulse for pulse mode conditions with electrical pulse widths (EPW) as low as 6 msec3. Conduct steady-state and pulse mode tests with propellants cooled to as low as 15F (-9C) and the engine injector cooled to as low as -20F (-29C)The ability to measure low thrust and impulse levels and the mass throughput for each pulse using accurate pulse tanks is critical for obtaining accurate min-IBIT data and the successful conduct of this program. Also critical is the ability to thermally condition the propellants and engine hardware for the cold propellant and engine tests and to maintain the thermal conditioning throughout the test. As well as the standard facility capabilities for such tests, the facility in which these tests are conducted must have the ability to 1. maintain a low vacuum pressure (0.03 psia) throughout the test2. conduct pulse mode tests at any combination of on- and off-times3. test at feed pressures as high as 400 psia and propellant temperatures as low as 15F (-9C)4. have multiple infrared (IR) cameras to remotely measure engine temperatures across the entire engine body 5. measure the mass for individual pulses during pulse mode tests using accurate pulse tanksFollowing the tests, the supplier shall deliver all test data to GSFC in electronic format. No test report is required by the Contractor.NASA/CENTER intends to purchase the items from Moog Inc., Space and Defense Group Seneca and Jamison Road, Plant 20, East Aurora, New York 14052. Moog is the manufacturer of the thruster to be tested and are therefore the only company which is familiar with its operational characteristics. Moog is the only known company to have ever tested this thruster. Knowledge of the thruster design and operational characteristics is essential for successfully conducting these tests. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 5:00 p.m. local time on June 10,2016. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing (email preferred) no later than 4:00pm June 6, 2016.
