The solicitation requires the contractor to remove all interfering gear, existing carpet, and cove base, repair up to 10% of the underlayment, and install government-furnished MC 240 Newport Blue wool carpet and new Deep Navy cove base. Quotes will be evaluated on a best-value basis, considering capability, availability, and price. Potential bidders must submit detailed quotes electronically to james.pritchard@noaa.gov by December 27, 2024, at 1200 EST, and include material specifications, cost breakdown, liability insurance, and three references for similar work completed in the past three years.

The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238330 with a size standard of $19 million, targeting flooring contractors. The work will be performed at Mare Island Drydock in Vallejo, California, with a performance period from December 30, 2024, to January 10, 2025.
