Key contract requirements include comprehensive annual preventive maintenance covering engine, cooling, fuel, battery, electrical, control, and mechanical systems; NFPA 110 load-bank testing achieving minimum loads of 50% nameplate kW for 30 minutes and 75% for 60 minutes annually; 24/7/365 emergency service with a four-hour response time; and submission of all reports in PDF format within seven calendar days. Evaluation will be based on past performance, pricing, technical capability, and compliance with subcontracting limitations and Service Contract Act requirements. The proposal due date is March 18, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, with award anticipated for April 1, 2026.

This solicitation is a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), with an estimated contract value of $12.5 million over the performance period.
