Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 337215 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
The Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), authorized under 10 USC 3458 as revised by the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act Section 1823) is not a Request for Quotations one would normally expect to see from federal Government contracting offices. We (Delaware Army National Guard, also referred to as “the Government”) are seeking an optimal, innovative, commercially available solution to our problem set as stated in CSO Section 2.0 Problem Statement and Section 3.0 Desired System Attributes and Capabilities. We do not have a particular floor layout nor pre-determined pallet rack design. Given the amount of equipment (displayed during the site visit) that we need to store on either pallet racks or in secure storage, we don’t need to maximize cube in this storage building. We are looking for an optimal solution based on technical merit, company expertise, and pricing, as indicated in the CSO. The Section 4.0 Phase 1 Submission Process calls for, among other things, a recommended contract line item structure and preliminary pricing. Upon receipt and review of the proposed solutions and preliminary break-out by line item pricing, the Government will determine whether the construction portion of this project is substantial and segregable to rise to the level as to requiring a Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Wage Determination, consistent with RFO FAR Subpart 22.4 Labor Standards for Contracts Involving Construction. If applicable, the Wage Determination DE20260008 Mod #1, is the most likely wage determination to be provided to those vendor(s) invited to participate in Phase 2 Negotiation for purposes of negotiating a firm-fixed price FAR-based purchase order. Wage Determination DE20260008 Mod #1 is available at https://sam.gov/wage-determination/DE20260008/1 --- End of Government Comments --- See attached 3-page Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) with its accompanying 65-percent specification seeking an innovative commercial design?build solution to furnish and install industrial?grade organizational storage-—including fixed selective pallet racks, secure wire mesh partition cages, and heavy?duty static boltless steel shelving—-in a newly constructed unoccupied storage building located at 1401 Newport Gap Pike, Wilmington, DE 19804 for Delaware Army National Guard (DE ARNG). Site Visit: Non-mandatory site visit 2:00 PM ET Tuesday 18 Aug 2026 at the facility. Provide name and company affiliation of visitors to Joseph.Scarpa6.CIV@army.mil no later than 2:00 PM ET Monday 17 Aug. Hard copy as-built drawing set of 1401 Newport Gap Pike building available for viewing during site visit. For PDF file of drawing set, submit sufficient company identifying information via request in the attachments section of this SAM.gov web site. Government will vet your information and respond to your request typically within 24 hours.
