BACKGROUND This planned contract will provide Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Quantity Contracts not to exceed $475 million over the next five years supporting the Air Force Health Facilities Division (HFD). The Air Force Health Facilities Division is responsible for the programming, planning, design, construction, and initial outfitting of new and renovated USAF medical treatment facilities worldwide. They are chartered with modernizing hospitals, clinics, medical office buildings, warehouses, vet clinics and wellness centers. To meet the Initial Outfitting requirements, the HFD requires a contracting vehicle that utilizes experienced suppliers/vendors who are able to rapidly respond to multiple requirements, meet constrained project schedules and provide a variety of products and IO services from planning through warranty. This contract vehicle will enable the Air Force to standardize execution, minimize acquisition lead times and costs, work multiple projects concurrently and complete projects on schedule. Under this contract, the IO contractor shall provide: 1) initial outfitting transition (IO-T) services associated with a military construction project and/or 2) provide all initial outfitting (IO) commodities to outfit new or newly renovated medical facilities such as hospitals, clinics, medical administration buildings, ambulatory health facilities, medical warehouses, medical laboratories, biological engineering laboratories, dental clinics, veterinary clinics, wellness centers, and any other buildings connected to/associated with health facilities. The contract will be performed in two steps: Step 1 shall be Initial Outfitting Transition (IO-T), including project management, transition/relocation planning, planning/design and technical support, product selection/planning, inventory identification, storage, movers, supervision, and budget development, tracking and adherence. Step 2 includes procurement of the product, installation labor, transportation, tools, materials, storage and freight, case goods, furniture and furnishings equipment, artwork, signage, information technology/communication and resource protection systems. The contract will also include the move, reconfiguration, teardown, salvage, and/or disposal of existing products and inventory storage and installation of reusable systems furniture. The objective is to have a contractor provide turn-key services for the following: interior design, medical equipment, furniture, case goods, communication equipment, information technology hardware and software, and furnishings for military treatment facilities world-wide. These services must include cradle to grave project management services, design services, procurement of furniture and medical/clinical case goods, warehousing capabilities, delivery, installation, inventory, warranty services, commissioning and training on all new equipment/furniture. Additional information: (1) the contract will be world-wide with no division between U.S. regions and overseas, (2) the Government requires the flexibility to include furniture layout design services if we need them as we will not always be able to provide a Comprehensive Interior Design (CID), (3) the Government would require the option to reconfigure, restore or replace existing furniture components (the selected contractor will assist in assessing the condition and reusability of the existing furnishings), (4) the Government will require the ability to trade-in existing furniture for credit, (5) vendors would be responsible for providing training on all new equipment, (6) the Government will request industry input as to the best way to make this turn-key operation work.
