The Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region seeks full-service elevator maintenance for three Seattle-district facilities under Solicitation 697DCK-27-R-00028, with questions due November 30, 2026 at 12:00 noon Central Time and proposals due December 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used" and governs eligibility, although the description text references a small business set-aside.

Place of performance is the Seattle ATCT, Seattle ASR-9 in SeaTac, and Paine Field ATCT in Everett, Washington. The firm-fixed-price contract is a single award, with a base period from January 1, 2027 through September 30, 2027 and four optional one-year periods through September 30, 2031. The NAICS code is 238290, Other Building Equipment Contractors, and the PSC is Z1BA. Scope covers preventive maintenance, inspection, testing, repair, and emergency callbacks for vertical transportation equipment, including elevators, dumbwaiters, platform lifts, and dock levelers, with contractor-furnished diagnostics, tools, parts, materials, and lubricants.

Work must comply with ASME A17.1 and A17.2 and be performed by Certified Elevator Mechanics/Technicians with a minimum of five years of experience. Performance standards require no more than 2% annual downtime per elevator (175.2 hours), no more than three scheduled and six unscheduled service calls per month per elevator, and response within one hour for entrapments and two hours for other callbacks, all at no additional government cost. The contractor must designate a Contract Manager available within 24 hours of a COR request, maintain a Quality Control Program, provide a computerized maintenance database, and submit monthly service reports.

Award goes to the lowest priced, technically acceptable, responsible offeror, and prices are compared against the Independent Government Cost Estimate. Proposals require at least three past experience references for similar elevator work within the past five years, at least three third-party customer satisfaction surveys averaging "Good" or higher, a technical proposal covering service completion and key personnel, and proof of liability insurance. Reference surveys must be submitted directly to FAA Acquisitions by the customer; surveys routed through the bidder will not be accepted. The offeror must be registered in good standing in SAM at time of award.

Service Contract Act Wage Determination 1985-1233, Revision 55, sets the Elevator Repairers base rate at $70.47 per hour, plus fringe benefits including $16.375 per hour for health and welfare, $11.06 per hour for pension, and $14.50 per hour for a 401(k) annuity.
