Fume hood replacements

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants seeks firm-fixed price quotations for replacement of fume hood sashes at its Reston, Virginia facility, with quotations due August 6, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST. This is not a small business set-aside.

Place of performance is the USGS headquarters at 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia. The work involves removal and replacement of glass sashes with acid-resistant polycarbonate sashes for six fume hoods across four research laboratories in the J.W. Powell Federal Building. The fume hoods currently handle hydrogen fluoride, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid, which etch glass and require replacement. Specific locations are rooms 3D327 (2 hoods), 3C230 (1 hood), 3C239 (1 hood), 4B220 (1 hood), and 5B315 (1 hood), with brands including SAFEAIRE and FISHER HAMILTON. Non-OEM sashes are acceptable if compatible with existing equipment.

The NAICS code is 541380, Testing Laboratories and Services; PSC is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Work must be completed within 120 calendar days of award, with construction start required no later than 28 days from award. The contractor bears responsibility for labor, materials, equipment, safety compliance, hazardous waste disposal, and post-installation certification testing to maintain 100 feet per minute face velocity. A detailed safety plan addressing OSHA compliance must be submitted within 14 days of contract notice to proceed. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 28, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST; questions are due July 30, 2026. Award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. Service Contract Act wage determination 2015-4281, Revision 37 applies to the region.
