About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details the replacement of a central laboratory vacuum system for the FDA's Human Foods Program at the Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building in College Park, MD. The project requires disconnecting and removing the existing 25-year-old vacuum system and installing a new tri-plex (3-stage), dry pump system with a redundant control system. Key specifications include maintaining the original system's performance, using a 3-stage control with a manually switched backup controller, and ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure.
The project scope encompasses multiple detailed tasks, including conducting a site survey, submitting various technical drawings for agency approval, delivering and installing the new system, and completing comprehensive testing and commissioning. The contract period is from September 29, 2025, to September 28, 2026. The contractor must provide a 12-month comprehensive warranty, repair or replace defective components within five business days, and adhere to strict site access and operational guidelines. The system must meet specific technical requirements such as maintaining a 21-25 inches of mercury inlet pressure, operating at 80°F, and fitting within a 5x7 foot footprint.

STATEMENT OF WORK
TITLE: CENTRAL LABORATORY VACUUM SYSTEM REPLACEMENT
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the requirement is to acquire and install a replacement laboratory central vacuum supply system to support FDA Human Foods Program research in the Harvey W Wiley Federal Building. The new system shall contain a back-up control system to allow for quick restoration of service in the event of a controller failure.
2. BACKGROUND
The existing Central Laboratory Vacuum System in the Harvey W. Wiley Federal building is now 25 years old. When originally installed, the existing system was a Tri-plex (3 pump), multi-stage whole building vacuum supply system. In the earlier portion of its 25-year lifespan, numerous components failed and were repaired or replaced. Due to obsolescence and discontinuation of replacement part fabrication over the last 5 years of operation, this is no longer an option. As pumps failed, they had to be removed from the system, resulting in degradation of system performance. We have reached the point where the whole system is now dependent on a single remaining operational pump.
3. SCOPE
The scope of the project includes 1) Disconnection, demolition and removal the existing Central Laboratory Vacuum Supply System. 2) Provide and install a new skid-mounted Central Laboratory Vacuum Supply System that meets or exceeds the performance standards/capabilities exhibited by the existing Central Laboratory Vacuum Supply System WHEN IT WAS NEW. 3) Provide and install a redundant, parallel control system that will allow a transition from the primary control system to the back-up control system with just a flip of a switch. 4) Program both the primary and secondary control systems and verify that both systems
4. SPECIFIC TASKS
Task:
1. Conduct site survey to verify existing conditions and develop strategies for removing old equipment and getting new equipment to the Wiley Penthouse site location.
2. Submit Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P & ID) for Agency review and approval.
3. Submit General Arrangement Drawing for Agency review and approval.
4. Submit Electrical Panel Dimensional Drawing for Agency review and approval.
5. Submit Electrical Wiring Diagram for Agency review and approval.
6. Deliver new programmed Central Vacuum System (CVS) to the Wiley Loading Dock.
7. Disconnect existing CVS and remove from the Wiley mechanical penthouse.
8. Move new CVS to the Wiley Penthouse and set into final location.
9. Connect new CVS to existing building connections (electrical, vacuum and drain).
10. Test and commission the new CVS.
11. Provide electronic and 2 hard-copies of system Installation and Operations Manual(s) and certificate of performance specifying numeric operating parameters.
