The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a $16.55K definitive contract on March 17, 2016, to Trademasters Service, Inc., a small business headquartered in Lorton, Virginia, under an 8(a) sole source set-aside designation. The contract, with completion targeted for May 3, 2016, calls for installation of a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) HVAC system in Building 310 at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) East facility in Calverton, Maryland, specifically a ductless heat pump system for the office area and an electric forced air recessed heater for the bathroom area. The work is subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements under General Decision Number MD160058 for Prince George's County, Maryland construction projects.
Trademasters Service, Inc., a subchapter S corporation specializing in comprehensive facilities maintenance and repair services, is well-positioned to deliver this project given its extensive history of HVAC and building trades work across federal agencies. The company maintains significant federal contract vehicles, including an OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside indefinite delivery contract and multiple blanket purchase agreements with agencies including the General Services Administration and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, demonstrating established capabilities in infrastructure and facilities operations. As a registered small business with the Small Business Administration since 2005, the contractor benefits from the 8(a) program set-aside, which supports disadvantaged business enterprises in competing for federal contracts.
