Scope
Description The purpose of this announcement is to request new Architect / Engineer (A/E) qualification information for the General Services Administration / Public Buildings Service (GSA/PBS) A/E short selection for Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS).
WHAT IS THE SHORT SELECTION PROCESS?
The short selection process utilizes the procedures set forth in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subsection 36.202-4 for Architect/Engineer (A/E) projects with an estimated total fee less than the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $350,000; see RFO FAR Part 2.101).
The A/E's professional qualifications, the firm's geographic proximity, knowledge of the local area as identified on the A/E's SF330, and supplemental information will be used for the first preliminary screening of firms.
For each proposed project, GSA will conduct discussions with at least three (3) firms to consider anticipated concepts and compare alternative methods for furnishing services.
Additional information may be requested during discussions if necessary to facilitate the final ranking of firms (i.e.: past performance references, specialized experience, capacity, schedule, etc.).
Upon conclusion of discussions, the top three firms will be ranked, and a price proposal will be requested from the highest ranked firm.
If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated with the highest ranked firm, a request for a price proposal will be sent to the second ranked firm, and so on until an award can be made at a fair and reasonable price.
All acquisitions utilizing the GSA A/E short selection list (database) shall be set-aside for small business concerns unless requirements cannot be met by a small business and the Contracting Officer (...

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.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- 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.
