The Bureau of Reclamation, a civilian agency within the Department of the Interior, has issued a Special Notice (RFQ #140R8125Q0054) for the procurement of five chemically resistant mobile workbenches. The solicitation is structured as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products, specifically targeting institutional furniture manufacturing under NAICS code 337127. This is a total small business set-aside opportunity, meaning only small businesses with 500 or fewer employees are eligible to compete. The procurement is being conducted through a request for quotation (RFQ) process, with the government seeking workbenches that meet specific technical requirements for laboratory equipment and supplies.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit their quotes by January 13, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time via email to mswift@usbr.gov. The workbenches must be manufactured in the USA and feature dark blue powder-coated steel construction with specific dimensions, including a 30" x 72" x 1" epoxy resin work surface and a minimum load capacity of 1,000 pounds. Key requirements include locking casters, manually adjustable height (30-36"), removable top shelving, wire management, storage bins, LED lighting, and a power strip with at least 8 outlets. The evaluation will be conducted on a lowest-price basis, with award made to a responsive and responsible offeror. Successful contractors must deliver the workbenches within 90 days of contract award to the Denver Federal Center and submit electronic invoices through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).
