BACKGROUNDThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), through its staff and contractors, providesquality, responsive engineering and construction services to the Army and the Nation.

USACE missions include civil works, military construction, environmental restoration, andsupport to other agencies.

The civil works program encompasses flood control, navigation, shore erosion, and recreation facilities.

The military construction program supports the Army, most of the Air Force, and certain other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies.

USACE performs environmental restoration work for the Army, DoD, EnvironmentalProtection Agency, Department of Energy and several other agencies.

USACE also provides design and construction management services for non-DoD Federal agencies, state and local governments, and foreign governments.

3

A majority of the planning, engineering, design and surveying and mapping services forthese programs is acquired by contract with private Architect-Engineer (A-E) firms. USACEis one of the largest Federal buyers of A-E services.

Use of A-E services is beneficial/required when…- The designs include highly specialized disciplines that are not available within USACE- USACE in-house capability cannot design in timeframe required

A-E services required by Federal agencies are procured under the Brooks A-E Act and the procedures in Part 36 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

The Brooks Act requires the public announcement of requirements for A-E services (withsome exceptions provided by other statutes); selection of the most highly qualified firmsbased on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications; and the negotiation ofa fair and reasonable price, starting with the highest qualified firm.

Hence, the selection of A-E contractors is focused on qualifications, and not thelowest price.

Rule of Two (1 of 3)

Veterans First Contracting Program - the Program, which gives preference to SDVOSBs and VOSBs, was created by 38 U.S.C. 8127 and 8128 and implemented by VA in 2009.

2016 Supreme Court (SCOTUS) Decision • Prior to the decision, VA believed and two lower courts agreed, that

the Program did not apply when placing orders under FAR subpart 8.4, the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS).

• The SCOTUS decision overruled the lower courts and decided that the Program does apply to FSS orders and is mandatory not discretionary.

Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction Construction & Facilities Management 55

Rule of Two (2 of 3)

Rule of Two – The process whereby a contracting officer of the VA, “shall award contracts on the basis of competition restricted to small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans if the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more small business concerns owned and controlled by veterans will submit offers and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers best value to the United States.”

Market Research - Must be conducted to support the Government’s acquisition strategy.

Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction Construction & Facilities Management 56

Rule of Two (3 of 3)

Impact: CFM anticipates that the Rule of Two decision will not have a significant impact on Construction procurements, but there is the potential for a noticeable increase in awards to SDVOSB/VOSBs for A/E and other services.

Certification Requirement: In order to compete for awards under the Veterans First Contracting Program, eligible SDVOSBs/VOSBs must first be verified by the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE).

Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction Construction & Facilities Management 57

Sole Source Authority for SDVOSB/VOSB

Authority: Public Law 38 USC 8127 and VAAR 819.7007(b) and 7008(b) “Sole source authority for SDVOSB and VOSB”, provide the Contracting Officer (CO) authority to make sole source awards up to $5 million based on his/her own discretion, provided the concern can be determined responsible and the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price.

Restrictions: A restriction for sole source currently exists within an internal Procurement Policy Memorandum (PPM) that is being modified to align with the authorizations found in 38 USC 8127 and the VAAR.

Leasing Program – Almost 2,000 leases nationwide in a range of sizes– Office of Real Property procures prospectus-level (over $1 Million in

annual unserviced rent) leases and complex build-to-suit leases; VHA leasing officials in regional offices procure all other leases

– Build-to-suit vs. Existing Space– Contracting opportunities as lessor; limited due diligence– Large, prospectus-level leases (over $1M in rent) are typically procured

by CFM, and leases under $1M in rent are typically procured by VHA local or regional Contracting Officers.

Funding– Projects are funded through VHA’s operating funds. – Rent obligated annually and paid monthly in arrears.– VA pays a lump sum at construction completion to cover the VA-specific

build out required in the lease that elevates the space to a medical office facility.

VA Real Property (1 of 2)

Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction Construction & Facilities Management 76

VA Real Property (2 of 2)

Leasing Parameters– Up to 20-year lease term.– General Services Administration (GSA) delegation of authority required.– Congressional authorization required for leases of over $1M in annual, unserviced

rent. – VA lessors typically consist of a developer-lessor, who partners with an architect and

a construction contractor to deliver the built-out leased space.– Prospectus-level leases are typically build-to-suit, while smaller leases are typically

leases of existing space.

Forecasting Opportunities– Contracting opportunities for prospectus-level leases are posted on OSDBU’s public

website. (FBO)– Prospectus-level leases are also included in VA’s annual budget submission, which

is published on VA’s website.– Advertisements for lease procurements are posted on FebBizOpps.gov at the site

identification phase, solicitation release phase, and contract award phase.– For larger projects, VA usually holds a pre-bid conference, where VA presents

information on a particular lease solicitation, and interested developers and subcontractors have the opportunity to network and collaborate
