Maintenance Agreement for Color Certification Air Compressors for a Nitrogen Generator.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, seeks a one-year preventive maintenance service agreement for two Powerex oil-free scroll air compressors supporting its nitrogen generator operations, with proposals due August 14. The procurement is set-aside for total small business.

Place of performance is FDA, University Station (CPK2), 4300 River Road, College Park, Maryland 20740, Room 1096. The compressors are Model SED1007S0041546 (serial number M10/17/2022-S41546-9602) and Model SED100740HPAJ (serial number M10/13/2022-S41545-9594). All service engineers and technicians must hold current Powerex certifications, and only genuine Powerex OEM parts may be used. The contractor must provide four quarterly on-site preventive maintenance visits per the Powerex service manual, annual OEM replacement parts (air filters, belts, check valves, grease, tip seals, and heat insulation), all labor, travel, lodging, tools, and consumables, plus unlimited telephone and online support under a firm-fixed-price arrangement (CLIN 0001). A second line item (CLIN 0002) covers non-routine emergency repair labor at a discounted hourly rate using genuine Powerex OEM parts, billed separately as needed. Response times are 48–72 hours with three-to-five business-day repair completion requirements; work occurs during normal business hours.

Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable on pass/fail basis across three factors: Technical Approach, Powerex Authorization/Certification, and Relevant Experience/Past Performance (recent experience servicing Powerex or comparable oil-free scroll compressors within three years). Questions are due three business days after solicitation posting. The NAICS code is 811310. The contracting officer is David Seid (David.Seid@FDA.HHS.Gov, 301-796-3941).
