Request for Information

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding market research for preventive maintenance and repair services at its headquarters facility in Arlington, Virginia. This Special Notice, posted on February 25, 2026, seeks to identify potential vendors capable of servicing specialized mechanical equipment across the DEA's facility. The RFI is designed to gather information about vendor capabilities before the agency issues a formal solicitation for these services. The scope of work includes scheduled preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and routine maintenance on HVAC systems, generators, UPS units, plumbing fixtures, fire suppression equipment, and other building infrastructure. The DEA anticipates this will be a fixed-price contract requiring significant operational commitment and expertise.

Interested vendors must submit a capability statement of no more than ten pages by 11:00 AM ET on March 9, 2026, addressing four evaluation criteria and providing company information including CAGE code, UEI number, NAICS code, and relevant certifications. Contractors are required to have factory-certified technicians for Trane Commercial, Desert Air, Vertiv Liebert CRAC units, and Liebert UPS systems, along with master trade licenses for HVAC and plumbing services. The facility operates 24/7 with scheduled preventive maintenance during normal business hours (6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Thursday), though emergency response capability is required around the clock. While prior government contract experience is not mandatory, vendors must demonstrate past performance capabilities related to the services outlined in the Statement of Work. Responses should be submitted via Microsoft Word format to Sade Moore and Sherman Green at the DEA, and interested parties should note that submission does not guarantee participation in any future solicitation.
