Deliverables include cistern assessment reports (within 10 business days of inspection), replacement proposals (as needed), service completion reports (within 5 business days of work completion with photographs and Safety Data Sheets), certificates of sanitization, and certified water quality test results.
Additional set-aside eligibility includes 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, and veteran-owned businesses. Responses should be emailed to Mital Pancholi, contracting officer, at mpancholi@doc.gov with a capability statement and supporting documents.
