About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office seeks a firm-fixed-price construction contract to replace three boiler burners at Federal Medical Center Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts, with quotes due October 23, 2026. This is a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors); offerors must be registered in SAM.gov as small businesses for the applicable code.
Place of performance is 42 Patton Road, Ayer, MA 01432. The awardee will not enter or be granted access to the secure federal prison; work is conducted in the non-correctional powerhouse environment outside the secure perimeter. Period of performance is 280 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.
The temporary feedwater skid must be designed by the contractor to maintain 35,000 lbs/hour steam production across one to three boilers as demand requires. The deaerator/surge tank must maintain 1,500-gallon capacity and sustain operations for 20 minutes at stated load demand through contractor engineering design. All required 480V electrical power and sources are in place with existing infrastructure matching replacement unit demands. New boiler units include integrated control packages compatible with API Burners. The contractor is responsible for MassDEP permit modifications and associated fees if emissions exceed current approval limits (max firing rate 29.3 mmBtu/hr). Manufacturer certification is required for all personnel performing installation work. Workers must account for tools with the on-duty operator at shift start and end, report daily, and remain supervised. No hazardous materials surveys are required.
Quotes are issued as a Request for Quotation under FAR Subpart 12.2 with FAR provisions 52.212-1 and 52.212-4 applicable. Evaluation is a best-value tradeoff process under FAR 52.212-2, with past performance weighted as significantly more important than price. Past performance assessment covers recent and relevant experience within the past 24 months, quality of work, timeliness, customer satisfaction on government or commercial contracts, and greater emphasis on projects of similar scope, size, and complexity. Quoters must submit at least five company or government agency references and one bank reference. A bid bond (SF 24) is required. Prevailing wage rates per General Decision MA20260001 apply. A site visit is scheduled for September 24, 2026, at 9:00 AM (attendance not mandatory); attendees must complete a criminal history check authorization form by September 21, 2026, and bring valid photo ID and license plate number.
