About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is seeking quotes to replace a 300kVA, 13.8kV - 480Y/277V, 3-phase transformer at the National Centers for Animal Health in Ames, Iowa. The project involves removing an existing transformer installed in 2004 and installing a new transformer with similar specifications, including verifying concrete spill containment basin adequacy, properly disposing of the old transformer, testing and disposing of transformer fluids, performing electrical reconnections, and updating arc flash assessment labels. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability with specific experience in transformer work, and will be evaluated based on technical capability, price, and past performance. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for July 10, 2025, at 1 p.m. CT, with strict security requirements for non-U.S. citizens including completion of a Foreign National Vetting Information Form at least five business days prior. The quote submission deadline is July 23, 2025, with all questions directed to Contracting Officer Jim Roloff at james.g.roloff@usda.gov.
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 238210 with a small business size standard of $19 million. The estimated project value ranges between $25,000 and $100,000, with no current contractors or incumbents identified in the solicitation materials. The performance period is 180 calendar days after notice to proceed, and work must be performed during standard hours (7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday) unless advance approval is obtained for work outside these times. The project location is at the USDA campus at 1920 Dayton Avenue, Ames, Iowa 50010, with strict site security protocols requiring REAL ID or passport compliance for campus entry. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price construction contract with payment bond requirements and compliance with federal acquisition regulations including Buy American requirements and Davis-Bacon Act construction wage rate standards.
