About this opportunity

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking firm-fixed pricing quotes for antenna repair services on a US Antenna Products LP-1001CA antenna mounted at the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center. The primary scope involves inspecting and resecuring a loose insulator on the 19th antenna element, tightening all boom-to-antenna and element-to-boom hardware connections, and replacing any damaged bolt-on components as necessary using FEMA-provided stainless steel hardware. Minimum requirements include staffing with two tower and antenna-certified personnel, compliance with all federal, state, and local safety standards including OSHA requirements, and comprehensive insurance coverage (workers' compensation with $100,000 minimum and general liability of at least $500,000 per occurrence). Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal based on three evaluation factors: Technical Approach (describing methodologies for accomplishing SOW requirements), Past Performance (three references for directly related services from the past three years), and Price (detailed cost breakdown including labor, travel, materials, and other direct costs). Quotes are due February 27, 2026, at 12:00 PM local time, with pricing required to remain effective for 30 days following submission.

This procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. FEMA has obtained funding equal to or greater than the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), though the specific budget amount is not disclosed in the available materials. The desired completion timeline is 45 days or sooner after receipt of order, with work commencement required within 10 calendar days of award and site visits to be completed within two weeks of commencement. Work will be performed Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the secure facility in Bluemont, Virginia, which requires all personnel to submit site access requests at least 72 hours prior to arrival and maintain government escort at all times. The place of performance is Bluemont, VA 20135, at the Mount Weather EOC facility, where the 80-foot Valmont 3002 Self-Supporting lattice tower is located.

  1. Scope Clarification – Potential Damage
    If the element or mounting assembly is found to be damaged beyond repair during inspection, should the contractor limit the effort to documentation and reporting, or is replacement anticipated under the base scope?

As per SOW Specific 1 d); a spare LP-1001CA is crated on-site. In the event other bolt-on parts are damaged, contractor will replace as needed. The element and mounting assembly are both bolt-on parts to the boom.
