Self-Service Modular Locker Project

The Department of the Interior Interior Business Center is seeking a small business contractor to provide and install self-service modular lockers for the U.S. Department of the Interior Museum located in Washington, DC. The solicitation, identified as RFQ 140D0425Q0067, is a firm-fixed price purchase order for a specialized locker system with specific design requirements including Cherry Wood Veneer doors and electronic keypads. Evaluation of quotes will prioritize technical capability, delivery schedule, and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important in determining the best value for the government. Potential bidders must submit detailed specifications demonstrating how they will meet the requirements, provide a comprehensive delivery schedule, and include pricing for equipment, warranty, delivery, shipping, and installation. Critical dates include a deadline for questions on December 17, 2024, and quotes are due by January 3, 2025 at 12:00 PM Eastern, with all quotes required to remain valid for 90 days.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 337215 (Showcase, Partition, Shelving and Locker Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees. The project requires manufacturing and installing a modular locker configuration totaling 72 lockers across six sections with varying sizes, ranging from 12"x18"x18" to 15"x36"x18". Contractors must deliver and install the lockers within 150 calendar days of order receipt, with strict delivery vehicle restrictions at the loading dock (maximum 26' length and 13' height). The place of performance is the Department of the Interior building located at 1849 C St NW, Washington, DC 20240. The project aims to enhance museum security by preventing visitors from bringing concealed destructive materials into the facility, following past incidents of art vandalism. Electronic invoicing through the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) will be required, and the contract includes a one-year warranty on parts and workmanship.
