MA MERS SCIF Door Replacement at the FEMA, MERS, VSAB, Bldg. B

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is procuring door replacement services for a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at their Mobile Emergency Response Support (MERS) facility in Maynard, Massachusetts. The project involves removing the existing non-compliant SCIF door and installing a new Lockmasters Metal 3070 STC-55 Door with specific hardware requirements, including combination locks and deadbolt systems, in accordance with Intelligence Community Technical Specifications Version 1.5. The work stems from a 2024 Security Performance Assessment that found the current door structurally non-compliant and failing to meet "Open Storage" security standards. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 14, 2025, and contractors must submit sealed bids by August 25, 2025 at 1:30 PM EST. The evaluation will be based on the completed pricing schedule and compliance with technical specifications, Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements, and security protocols.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors). No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The estimated contract value ranges between $25,000 and $100,000, representing the magnitude of construction as defined under FAR 36.204. The period of performance is 120 calendar days from contract award, which includes a 2-week submittal period and 8-10 week lead time for door delivery and installation. Work will be performed at the FEMA MERS VSAB Building B located at 65 Old Marlboro Road, Maynard, MA 01754, with contractors receiving escort by FEMA personnel and no security clearance required. The project scope includes site preparation, demolition, wall assessment, door frame installation, hardware mounting, weatherproofing, and functionality testing to ensure full compliance with SCIF security standards.
