This requirement is being procured, and award will be made, in accordance with Revolutionary FAR
Overhaul (RFO) FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The
Government intends to issue a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Quotes from sellers unable to accept purchase orders will not be considered for award.
The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal
Acquisition Circular 2026-01. This is a combined synopsis and solicitation; a separate solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is prepared for commercial products and commercial services in accordance with RFO FAR Part 12 and the format in Subpart 12.202(b)(1), as supplemented by the information in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
1. Request for Quotation
Solicitation number 140FS126Q0171 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ).
2. Requirement
The Government requires deep well diagnostic, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation services at the
Merced National Wildlife Refuge, 7430 W. Sandy Mush Road, Merced, California 95341.
The requirement includes diagnostic inspection, testing, well and pump repair and rehabilitation, well redevelopment and flushing, pump and motor work, electrical repair and replacement, testing, commissioning, and associated documentation for nine (9) Government-owned deep well systems, as specified in the attached Statement of Work (SOW).
The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, testing equipment, temporary facilities, and incidentals necessary to perform the SOW.
Performance may begin after award and required pre-performance coordination. All work shall be completed no later than November 15, 2026, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Contracting
Officer.
The Contractor shall not perform additional repairs, replacements, or work outside the awarded scope without prior written authorization from the Contracting Officer.
3. Contracting Authority
A warranted Contracting Officer is the only authorized Government representative to make contractual changes after award. No oral statement of any person shall modify or otherwise affect the terms of the resulting purchase order.
If the Contractor performs a change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change is unauthorized and no adjustment to the purchase order price or period of performance will be made for costs incurred as a result.
Government technical personnel identified in the SOW may coordinate site access, scheduling, inspection, and routine technical matters, but are not authorized to modify the contract, authorize additional work or costs, change the period of performance, or otherwise alter the purchase order.
The Contract Specialist for this requirement is Oscar Orozco, Oscar_orozco@ios.doi.gov.
mailto:Oscar_orozco@ios.doi.gov
4. Service Contract Labor Standards
This requirement is subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards. The applicable U.S. Department of
Labor Wage Determination is incorporated as Attachment 3 and applies to covered service employees performing under the resulting contract.
5. Site Visit
A site visit is available for prospective quoters. Requests to attend shall be submitted by email to the
Contracting Officer no later than close of business on August 25, 2026.
Quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding general and local conditions that may affect performance costs, to the extent information is reasonably obtainable. Failure to inspect the site shall not constitute grounds for a claim after award.
6. System for Award Management
Before submitting a quote, quoters must be registered, active, and eligible for award in the System for
Award Management (SAM). Registration instructions and online registration are available at SAM.gov.
By submitting a quote, the quoter acknowledges the requirement to be registered in SAM before award, during performance, and through final payment under any resulting contract. Quotes that fail to furnish required representations or information, or that take exception to solicitation terms and conditions, may be excluded from consideration.
7. Questions
Questions regarding this solicitation shall be submitted by email only to oscar_orozco@ios.doi.gov no later than August 26, 2026, 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
The Government may post questions and answers for all prospective quoters without identifying the source of the question. Oral explanations or instructions are not binding. Only a written amendment issued by the Contracting Officer modifies this solicitation.
8. Evaluation Factors and Basis for Award
FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services
(DEVIATION MAR 2026)
http://sam.gov/ mailto:oscar_orozco@ios.doi.gov
The Government will evaluate quotations using the simplified procedures of RFO FAR Part 12. Award will be made to the responsible quoter whose quotation conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, considering Experience/Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price.
The Government may use a comparative evaluation of quotations in accordance with RFO FAR
12.203(c)(2). Formal point scoring, adjectival rating scales, an evaluation plan, and establishment of a competitive range will not be used.
Experience/Technical Capability
The Government will evaluate the extent to which the quoter demonstrates recent, within the past five (5) years, and relevant experience performing deep well maintenance and repair, well rehabilitation, pump repair or replacement, well redevelopment, well diagnostics, electrical work associated with well or pumping systems, or similar services comparable in size, scope, and complexity to this requirement.
Relevant experience may include deep well inspection and rehabilitation; pulling and reinstalling pump equipment; well redevelopment and flushing; casing or screen inspection; pump or motor replacement;
troubleshooting well-production deficiencies; electrical control or service work associated with pumping systems; and testing and commissioning of well or pumping systems.
The Government will also consider the quoter's demonstrated capability to perform the SOW, including qualified personnel, applicable licenses, specialized well-service equipment, lifting equipment, electrical capability, testing equipment, and other resources necessary to complete the requirement within the required period of performance.
Past Performance
The Government will evaluate the quoter's demonstrated quality of performance on recent, within the past five (5) years, and relevant work. The Government may consider information provided with the quotation and information obtained from other available Government or commercial sources, including customer references, prior Government experience with the quoter, Contractor Performance Assessment
Reporting System (CPARS), if available, and other relevant sources.
A quoter without relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably solely on that basis.
Price
The Government will evaluate the total firm-fixed price based on the completed Bid Schedule. Individual
Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) prices may also be reviewed for reasonableness. The Contracting
Officer will determine whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable using quotations received, the
Independent Government Estimate, and/or other relevant information available to the Government.
Relative Importance and Basis for Award
Experience/Technical Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are more important than Price.
Award will not necessarily be made to the lowest-priced quoter. The Government may select a higher-priced quotation when the demonstrated advantages in Experience/Technical Capability and/or Past
Performance warrant the additional price. Conversely, the Government will not pay a price premium when the additional benefits do not warrant the additional cost.
The Government reserves the right to communicate with quoters as necessary to clarify or obtain information needed to evaluate quotations consistent with RFO FAR Part 12 simplified procedures.
9. Quotation Submission Requirements
Quotations shall be submitted by email to oscar_orozco@ios.doi.gov.

• Approximate project value
• Brief description of the work performed

The quoter shall also confirm that it possesses, or will have available at the time of performance, qualified personnel, applicable licenses, equipment, tools, and other resources necessary to perform the SOW and complete performance by November 15, 2026. Experience need not be identical to this requirement to be considered relevant. The Government will consider the degree of similarity to the work and conditions described in the SOW.
9.3 Past Performance
For each project identified under Experience/Technical Capability, provide a customer point of contact, telephone number, and email address. The Government may contact the references provided but is not required to contact every reference.
The Government may also consider relevant past-performance information obtained independently from
Government or commercial sources including customer references, prior Government experience with the quoter, and CPARS, if available. The Government may, at its discretion, contact references or communicate with a quoter regarding past-performance information considered relevant to the evaluation.
9.4 Price
Submit a completed Bid Schedule providing a firm-fixed price for each applicable CLIN and a total firm-fixed price. Prices shall include all costs necessary to perform the SOW, including labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, mobilization, demobilization, well-service equipment, testing, electrical work, documentation, cleanup, disposal, applicable taxes and fees, and all incidental expenses necessary for complete performance.
