Experience "RESPONSES", Paragraph 1. Experience ANNOUNCEMENT This is a PREQUALIFICATION OF SOURCES announcement, issued in accordance with DFARS 236.272 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Acquisition Instruction (UAI) 5136.272. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow up information requests. Respondents will be notified of the results of the prequalification process. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District is seeking to create Prequalified Sources List (PSL) for levee repairs in the states of Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska. As a result of flooding in the spring of 2024, there are damages to 30 federal and non-federal levee systems with over 500 miles of earthen levees with the Omaha District. The levees are in the Missouri River Basin on the Missouri River and its tributary rivers and creeks within the Omaha District. The attached list of projects entitled “PSL Projects Missouri River Basin” (Attachment 1) contains a description of each planned levee repair project. The majority of levee repair construction shall be self-performed by the prime contractors under this prequalification. The objective of the PSLs is to identify and select responding firms that demonstrate the capacity and capability to successfully support critical levee repairs without relying entirely on subcontractors. Subcontracting will be allowed, but will not be part of the prequalification process. Identifying and selecting prequalified sources will be based solely on the responding firm's ability to meet the specific criteria that assess the firm's bonding capability, previous experience completing construction of levee projects or cut/fill grading operations, and past performance. The selection process will be objective in that responding firms either meet or fail to meet the criteria. Failure to meet any one of the criteria will result in non-selection. The criteria ensure selection of clearly qualified contractors with experience and capability relevant to the anticipated requirements, provide competition, and minimize subjectivity in USACE's assessment. The PSL will be available for use while other acquisitions are underway for similar requirements. The PSL will be reviewed annually to ensure a legitimate need exists. Presently, USACE anticipates at least 30 contract actions during the next 2 years. As such, it is likely that a legitimate need will continue for the next 24 months. Magnitudes of disclosure will be provided at the time of solicitation for each project. After the PSL is established, USACE intends to proceed by issuing solicitations using FAR Part 14 procedures (i.e., sealed bidding). The North American Industry Classif…
