J--NRL Facilities Investment Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Maintenance Services

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Public Works Department Washington (PWD Washington) plans to solicit a performance-based requirement for Facilities Investment HVAC Maintenance Services for the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) at Washington DC. The acquisition will provide preventive and ongoing maintenance and repair services to existing heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and other mechanical systems at NRL. This service will include routine, enhanced and emergency repair service response primarily during core working hours (7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday, except weekends and holidays. Services will ensure the integrity and continued performance and operation of HVAC equipment; plumbing systems and infrastructure; electrical circuits; and the integrity of roof gutters and downspouts so that ongoing NRL missions have minimal interference due to mechanical system failures. This acquisition is anticipated to be in place and fully operational by 15 December 2012. This acquisition is anticipated to be solicited as a competitive 8(a) set-aside (pending SBA acceptance). Competitive proposals are necessary to permit evaluation of non-price related factors (i.e., technical and past performance), as well as to allow discussions if necessary; as such, sealed bidding procedures are inappropriate for this procurement. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the Best Value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors and their relative importance in the solicitation. The Request for Proposal is anticipated to be posted on FedBizOps and NECO on or about 20 July 2012.
