The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Acquisitions and Grants Services (OAGS) is issuing this source sought announcement on behalf of the Human Food Program’s (HFP), Office of Resource Management (ORM), Travel Management and Operations Support Staff (TMOSS), in order to determine if there are existing small business sources capable of providing the services described herein. Other than small business concerns, especially vendors who may be able to offer domestic products, are also encouraged to submit a capability statement that provides company information, as well as information demonstrating that it can meet all of the minimum requirements included below, to include the country of manufacture of products offered. If your firm is considered a small business source under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 811310 - Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance (Small Business Size Standard is $8 million), and you believe that your firm would be able to provide the FDA with the supplies/services described below, please submit an email to Warren.Dutter@fda.hhs.gov. Background: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Human Food Program’s (HFP), Office of Resource Management (ORM), Travel Management and Operations Support Staff (TMOSS) requires Preventive Maintenance Services for walk-in boxes, Variable Air Volume systems (VAV) and Air Conditioning (AC) units in the Harvey Wiley building located at 5001 Campus Drive, College Park MD, 20740. Preventive maintenance services for walk-in boxes, Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems, and Air Conditioning (AC) units are essential for the Harvey Wiley Federal Building, to ensure compliance with federal facility management standards and FDA operational requirements. As a critical FDA facility housing laboratories, offices, and potentially temperature-sensitive materials, the Harvey Wiley building requires precise environmental controls to maintain proper working conditions for scientific research, analytical testing, and regulatory activities. Regular preventive maintenance prevents system failures that could disrupt FDA operations, compromise laboratory sample integrity, damage sensitive analytical equipment, or create uncomfortable working conditions for federal employees conducting vital public health work. Without proper HVAC maintenance, the facility risks environmental deviations that could affect the accuracy of scientific testing, lead to costly emergency repairs, increase energy consumption, and potentially impact the FDA's mission to protect and promote public health through regulatory oversight of food, drugs, and medical devices.
