The contractor will be responsible for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, minor repairs, and the efficient operation of transformer systems across multiple buildings on campus. This procurement will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria based on three factors: experience, staffing plan/key personnel, and price. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on August 21, 2025, questions due by August 22, 2025, and proposal submission deadline of August 29, 2025, with anticipated contract award by September 22, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises under NAICS code 811210 with a $34 million size standard.

NIST anticipates awarding a single Firm-Fixed Price Performance-Based Service Contract with a 180-day performance period from Notice to Proceed. The transformers requiring service range in capacity from 225 to 7500 KVA, with most units between 500 and 2000 KVA, and are distributed across various buildings, rooms, and yards throughout the NIST Gaithersburg Campus. The contract will include both recurring services and additional services that may be ordered at the government's discretion for work related to operations, maintenance, and repair beyond the basic contract requirements.
