About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation 127EAT25Q0036, providing clarifications for the Angeles National Forest elevator maintenance and repair services procurement. The document addresses four contractor questions, confirming that the elevator has had no recent issues or emergency service calls this year, reiterating that quotes are due by 5:00 P.M. PT on Friday, August 8, 2025, and that questions must be submitted by Monday, August 4, 2025.
The most significant clarification concerns labor classification under the Service Contract Act, where the government confirms that elevator maintenance work should be classified as "Machinery Maintenance Mechanic" (code 23530) rather than "Elevator Constructor" as suggested by the contractor. The government emphasizes this is a service contract subject to SCA requirements, not construction work, and provides the detailed SCA definition for Machinery Maintenance Mechanic, which covers examining, diagnosing, dismantling, repairing, and reassembling mechanical equipment using hand tools and requiring formal apprenticeship or equivalent training and experience.

The Machinery Maintenance Mechanic repairs machinery or mechanical equipment. Work involves most of the following: examining machines and mechanical equipment to diagnose source of trouble, dismantling or partly dismantling machines and performing repairs that mainly involve the use of hand tools in scraping and fitting parts. Responsibilities include replacing broken or defective parts with items obtained from stock, and ordering the production of a replacement part by a machine shop or sending the machine to a machine shop for major repairs. Duties also include preparing written specifications for major repairs or for the production of parts ordered from machine shops, reassembling machines and making all necessary adjustments for operation. In general, the work of a Machinery Maintenance Mechanic requires rounded training and experience usually acquired through a formal apprenticeship or equivalent training and experience. Excluded from this classification are workers whose primary duties involve setting up or adjusting machines.
