IRVHAFL_Autoclave_Electrical_Prep_Vendor_Questionnaire.xlsx

This is a vendor questionnaire template for small businesses interested in responding to a Sources Sought notice for electrical preparation work related to autoclave installation at the FDA Irvine Human and Animal Food Laboratory (IRVHAFL) in Irvine, California. The questionnaire is structured in four sections designed to assess vendor qualifications and capability.

Section 1 requests standard company information including UEI number, CAGE code, business size status, NAICS code, state electrical licenses, and points of contact. Section 2 evaluates experience and qualifications, requiring vendors to document total years performing commercial/industrial electrical work, specific experience in laboratory and federal facilities, and project history involving 150-amp or greater 3-phase circuits and panel upgrades in occupied facilities within the past five years. Vendors must also describe their experience with Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures in operational laboratory environments. Section 3 requires submission of at least two relevant project references with project titles, locations, contract values, detailed scope descriptions including amperage and panel information, and customer contact details. Section 4 confirms critical compliance requirements: possession of an active C-10 (or equivalent) electrical contractor license, ability to provide reconditioned Siemens breakers as specified, and company registration in SAM.gov. The underlying Sources Sought opportunity is issued by the FDA's Office of Acquisition and Grant Services for market research purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. The scope includes de-energizing existing autoclaves, LOTO implementation, conduit and wiring installation, 150-amp 3-phase circuit installation, reconditioned Siemens breaker installation, fused disconnect installation, panel upgrades, and work in active laboratory and federal facility environments.
