FA910126RB011 FARM III RFP

The Department of Defense is issuing a full‑and‑open competition for the FARM III effort (FA9101‑26‑R‑B011), a multiple‑award Indefinite‑Delivery/Indefinite‑Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support design‑build, two‑phase design‑build, and construction projects for mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, data, control systems, and utilities at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) and its geographically separated units. The contract will be firm‑fixed‑price, target eight awards, and may not exceed $900 million in total value. Offerors will be evaluated using the Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) method, while individual Task Orders (TOs) will be competed via Fair Opportunity Proposal Requests (FOPRs) using either Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) or a full trade‑off source‑selection process as defined in each TO. A virtual post‑solicitation conference is scheduled for 8 May 2026, and offerors must use a sample $10 M contract amount to calculate and report subcontracting percentages. The solicitation requires a detailed Small Business Participation proposal, including checkboxes for prime size and SBA certifications (SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB) and narratives describing at least three methods to ensure equitable competition, three methods to develop subcontracting goals that meet or exceed DoD small‑business targets (30 % total, 3 % HUBZone, 5 % each for SDVOSB, SDB, WOSB), and two outreach strategies for locating subcontractors. Offerors must also submit an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) mitigation plan compliant with DAFFARS 5352.209‑9000 and FAR 9.5, and any exceptions to solicitation requirements must be documented in Table L‑3.1.5‑1 with full rationale. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SF‑1442) and all required forms, matrices, and supporting documentation are to be included with the proposal, with no page limits for most sections.
