About this opportunity

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region 10, located in Bothell, Washington, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified Small Business Development Program 8(a) participants capable of providing comprehensive facilities maintenance services. The requirement encompasses electrical systems, mechanical and HVAC systems, plumbing, fire protection and life safety systems, architectural and structural maintenance, grounds maintenance and landscaping, on-site custodial services, and fitness center equipment maintenance across a 42-acre campus with multiple buildings. Contractors must demonstrate relevant qualifications and experience, maintain a minimum of four full-time on-site employees with appropriate certifications, and meet strict security and compliance requirements including Public Trust background clearances and adherence to OSHA, EPA, and federal regulations. Interested 8(a) firms must submit responses by February 9, 2026, with the submission to include company information, SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, socioeconomic status designation, and detailed descriptions of capabilities and relevant experience. It is important to note that this RFI is issued solely for market research purposes and does not constitute an invitation for quotation or proposal; respondents will not be reimbursed for submission expenses and will not be notified of results.

This procurement is designated as a Competitive 8(a) set-aside under NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and PSC code Z1AZ (Maintenance of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings). The contractor must provide emergency service response within two hours outside normal working hours and urgent response within one hour during working hours, with routine requests addressed within two hours of notification. Services are required to operate Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, excluding federal holidays, and the contractor must maintain comprehensive quality assurance documentation including monthly progress reports, building operating plans, equipment inventory records, and preventive maintenance schedules based on manufacturer recommendations and NFPA standards. The performance work statement indicates a contract period originally running from April 13, 2022, through March 14, 2023, with options for additional years, though the current RFI posting date of January 22, 2026, suggests this may represent a renewal or follow-on procurement. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as its purpose is limited to gathering market research and capability information from qualified small business contractors.
