About this opportunity
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is seeking construction services to replace a 25-year-old York rooftop air handling unit at the National Center for Applied Plant Protection in Laurel, Maryland. The project involves complete removal of the existing 15-25 ton air-cooled packaged unit and installation of a comparable replacement, including comprehensive work such as utility disconnection, equipment removal, ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, controls integration with the existing Niagara Building Automation System, and full system commissioning. All work must be performed by EPA-certified technicians during normal business hours from Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with strict facility access requirements including valid identification and supervised site work. The evaluation criteria will assess technical capability with emphasis on relevant HVAC installation experience, price reasonableness, price realism, and past performance from previous projects. The site visit was held on September 11, 2025, and proposal submissions are due on September 29, 2025, with performance expected to begin within 10 calendar days after notice to proceed.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238220 with a small business size standard of $19 million in annual receipts. The estimated project value ranges between $500,000 and $1 million, reflecting the complexity of replacing specialized HVAC equipment in a federal research facility. The contractor will have 90 calendar days to complete the work, though this timeline may be extended if equipment lead times require additional time. Work will be performed at the National Center for Applied Plant Protection facility in Laurel, Maryland, with the contractor responsible for coordinating crane placement, roof access logistics, and potential after-hours work coordination when necessary. The current building systems are maintained by facility staff for lightning protection, SmartBT for the Building Automation System, and the fire alarm system is currently without a service contract, requiring careful coordination during the installation process.
