About this opportunity
The USDA-ARS seeks supply and installation of an emergency power transfer switch and controls at its Stoneville, Mississippi facility, with quotations due September 25, 2026, and questions due September 21. The procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 238210; size standard $19 million).
Place of performance is 141 Experiment Station Road, Stoneville, Mississippi. The contractor must supply and install an 800-amp, 480-volt Asco transfer switch (or approved equal, including Thomson Power Systems TS 870) for the 500-ton York Chiller #2, utilizing approximately 75 feet of existing 3-inch rigid conduit and 45 feet of new 3-inch rigid conduit, integrating with the existing Johnson Controls system to allow only one chiller to operate under emergency power. The contractor must hold a State of Mississippi electrical license, submit a list of electrical projects completed in the last five years with customer references, and attend a mandatory site visit on September 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM (RSVP required 24 hours in advance with government-issued identification).
Work must commence within 10 calendar days of the notice to proceed and complete within 90 calendar days, Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., excluding government holidays. The contractor must maintain a foreman on-site, notify USDA 48 hours before any shutdown, schedule inspections minimum three days in advance, and submit a Site Safety Specific Plan within seven days of award. Chiller #2 pumps are not on emergency power, requiring physical swapping of pumps and valves; maximum allowable shutdown duration is three business days.
Award will be made on a firm-fixed-price basis to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror using Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable methodology. Evaluation criteria are technical approach (capability to meet schedule and SOW compliance), price (fair and reasonable), and past performance (Acceptable, Neutral, or Unacceptable). Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates apply.
