Introduction The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting market research to identify small business concerns with the capability to perform a construction project involving the disconnection, removal, and full replacement of a central laboratory vacuum system. The work will be performed at the Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building in College Park, MD. The new system must meet stringent performance specifications, include a redundant control system, and be compatible with existing infrastructure. Tasks include site survey, submittals, delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, and warranty service. The period of performance is approximately 213 calendar days.

The Contractor shall conduct a site survey and submit all required technical documentation for FDA review and approval, including a Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID), general arrangement drawing, electrical panel dimensions, and wiring diagrams. Following delivery, the Contractor will disconnect and remove the existing system, install the new system in the mechanical penthouse, and connect it to the building’s existing utilities. The project also includes testing, commissioning, and submission of installation manuals and a certificate of performance. All work must comply with applicable technical, safety, and security requirements, and the Contractor is responsible for restoring any affected areas to their original condition upon completion. The Contractor shall furnish and install all necessary equipment required for the full replacement of the Central Laboratory Vacuum System.

It shall include an integrated control cabinet housing a programmable, manually switchable A/B redundant control system to ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of primary controller failure. The system must be compatible with the existing receiver tank and be designed to operate within an inlet pressure range of 21 to 25 inches of mercury (Hg) and at an inlet temperature of 80°F. All electrical components shall operate on 460 VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz motor supply, with a control voltage of 120 VAC and support from an 80 psi instrument air supply. The complete assembly must fit within the existing mechanical footprint of approximately 5 feet by 7 feet. All piping, fittings, and associated connection materials necessary to integrate the system with existing vacuum, electrical, and drainage lines shall be provided by the Contractor.
