About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is conducting a pre-solicitation market survey to identify qualified contractors for the replacement of actuators for Exhaust Fans 6 and 7 at the Sugarcane Research Unit facility in Schriever, Louisiana. The procurement seeks to replace existing actuators with new Siemens actuators (specifically GNP191.1P and GCA-166.U models) manufactured at the Siemens facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, with all work to be completed at 501 Bull Run Road, Schriever, LA 70395. This is a pre-solicitation notice that does not constitute a commitment or result in immediate contract award; rather, responses will inform the government's determination on whether to limit competition to small businesses or proceed with full and open competition. The eventual contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed price basis to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror, with evaluation based on lowest price and technical acceptability as the primary criteria. Interested parties must submit a Capabilities Statement by April 13, 2026, and should indicate their business classification (Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, or Women-Owned Small Business) if applicable.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, though the market survey is specifically designed to assess the availability of small business contractors in the specified categories. No incumbent contractor is mentioned in the documentation provided. The work is classified under NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) with a small business size standard of $47.0 million in annual receipts. The eventual solicitation will be structured as a firm-fixed price contract for one one-year base period with four one-year option periods, representing a potential five-year total contract duration. Work must be performed Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and will be subject to Service Contract Labor Standards wage determinations for Louisiana parishes of Lafourche and Terrebonne, which establish prevailing wage rates across multiple occupational categories along with mandatory fringe benefits including health and welfare, paid vacation, and paid holidays.
