2.0. DESCRIPTION: a. The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), located at Fort Lee, Virginia, is publicizing this SSN to identify responsible potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to provide Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). DeCA is seeking businesses that are interested in and capable of performing A-E services for various projects under the Engineering Directorate (CCN) of the Defense Commissary Agency. These projects will be situated at Department of Defense (DoD) sites throughout the contiguous United States (CONUS) and its territories, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Moreover, they will extend to DoD locations beyond the Continental United States (OCONUS), spanning regions such as Europe (Germany, Italy, England, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands), the Middle East (Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia), and the Far East (Japan and South Korea). Please reference Attachment 2, A-E MATOC Project Location List for further description. The contract is anticipated to be a Firm-Fixed-Price Architect and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. The anticipated period of performance for this Contract is up to five years. b. DeCA is seeking to identify responsible potential sources that are capable of providing A-E Services support.
