Installation of a Diesel Emergency Generator

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Department of Commerce, is soliciting proposals for the design-build installation of a diesel emergency generator specifically required for fire pump operations at the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. This procurement represents a comprehensive project that requires contractors to both design and install the emergency power system to meet the facility's fire safety requirements. The solicitation was posted on July 10, 2025, with proposals due by July 31, 2025, providing potential bidders with a three-week response window. The project falls under NAICS code 238290 for Other Building Equipment Contractors and PSC code N059 for Installation of Equipment - Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components. While the solicitation notice does not specify the evaluation criteria that will be used to assess proposals, contractors must demonstrate capability in both design and construction phases of emergency generator installation.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns that meet the size standards for the applicable NAICS code. The solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges for the project. No quantity details are specified since this appears to be a single installation project, though the timeline for completion is not outlined in the available information. The work will be performed at the NEFSC facility located in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, requiring contractors to have the capability to execute the project at this specific coastal location. The emergency generator installation will directly support the facility's fire protection systems, indicating the critical nature of this infrastructure project for the research center's operations.
