This procurement is a 100-percent small-business set-aside, restricting competition to firms meeting the size standard of 1,000 employees under NAICS 333912.

Place of performance is the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Medical Center, 1901 Veterans Memorial Dr, Temple, Texas 76504.

Electrical service is 30 amperes, 480 volts, three-phase, 60 hertz from an existing onsite motor-control center. The requirement is non-brand-specific; factory-new equipment from any manufacturer meeting all mandatory specifications is acceptable. Preferred delivery is eight weeks after receipt of order, with a maximum of 12 weeks. Contractors must provide a minimum of one onsite visit for startup, commissioning, operational verification, and training. If the quoter is not the original equipment manufacturer, evidence of authorization to furnish the equipment and manufacturer-supported startup, training, warranty, parts, and service must be provided. The Government will award to the responsible, eligible small-business concern submitting the lowest-priced technically acceptable quotation at a fair and reasonable price without exchanges. Quoters should submit their best technical and price quotations initially. PSC code is 4310, Compressors and Vacuum Pumps.
