Indefinite Delivery Contract 19AQMM23D0028

The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) awarded a $10 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Spectrum Electrical Services, Inc., a minority-owned and Asian-Pacific American-owned small business, for worldwide fire suppression system inspection, testing, and maintenance services. Under this IDIQ, OBO has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for Spectrum to provide technicians to travel to U.S. diplomatic facilities globally and perform annual inspections and maintenance on sprinkler, fire alarm, and fire pump systems. The contract is not set aside, but several of the individual delivery orders have been issued as total small business set-asides. Spectrum Electrical Services also holds a separate $150 million multiple-award IDIQ with OBO for worldwide design-build construction and renovation projects at overseas U.S. facilities. Together, these IDIQ vehicles provide Spectrum with a steady stream of task order opportunities to support the State Department's international infrastructure programs and solidify its role as a key contractor maintaining critical systems at U.S. diplomatic posts around the world.

The original OBO solicitation was a total small business set-aside seeking contractors to provide preventative maintenance and life safety services for fire suppression systems at U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide. The contract has a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. The $10 million ceiling is not divided equally among multiple awardees, as OBO plans to issue task orders on a firm fixed-price, time-and-materials, or labor-hour basis depending on the specific requirements. Contractors must possess or be able to obtain a Secret or Top Secret facility clearance from the Defense Security Service.
