Solicitation The NAICS code for this acquisition is 238220, Specialty Trade for Plumbing, Heating, and Air- Conditioning Contractors. We respectfully request that the Government change the NAICS code to 561210 for Facility Support Services which we think is a better fit for this Solicitation. Several other services, besides plumbing and HVAC, are included in the PWS: Electrical, DDC Systems, Roof Systems Maintenance, Fire Alarms and Suppression Systems, and Playgrounds Inspection.

Additionally, there are carpentry repairs, painting, masonry, and other skillsets required by the key personnel. The miscellaneous compilation of requirements indicates that this is more than plumbing and HVAC. Can you change the NAICS code for this Solicitation?

The NAICS code will remain as is for this solicitation.

PWS, Section C-1 Can the Government provide a budget or cap to the overall Limit of Liability for the contractor with regard to repairs? The assigned Limit of Liability of $20k per repair is significantly higher than any limit we have ever encountered.

We consider this a cost to the contract, part of the contract performance responsibilities, and will not cap it.
