Market Research for A-E services
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is officially conducting market research that will be used to support the Architect-Engineering (A-E) acquisition services. In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10.002 (b) (1) - Market Research (Procedures)
(b) Market research is then conducted to determine if commercial items or non-developmental items are available to meet the Government's needs or could be modified to meet the Government's needs.
(1) The extent of market research will vary, depending on such factors as urgency, estimated dollar value, complexity, and past experience. The contracting officer may use market research conducted within 18 months before the award of any task or delivery order if the information is still current, accurate, and relevant.
This survey is specific to A-E Services. FAR Subpart 36.6 (Selection of Architects and Engineers) will apply to any possible awards. This information may also be used for engineering services not covered by FAR Subpart 36.6.
Participation in the Request for Information (RFI) process is important in that it makes USACE decision-makers aware of the capabilities that exist in the marketplace. Responses will be collected via the attached questionnaire only. Data collected will become the property of the USACE, and will be used to provide a snapshot of how businesses who participated, are capable of providing A-E Services.
USACE does not claim nor suggest participation in this questionnaire will result in consideration or award of a federal contract. Participation in the questionnaire is entirely voluntary, and non-participation will not affect the consideration of any company for future federal contracts.
