SMO Generator Fuel Line and Filter Replacement

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking contractor services to provide and install a new fuel line and associated parts for a Kohler 40KW generator at the American Samoa Atmospheric Observatory. The procurement includes furnishing and installing a fuel line, engine block heater, in-line fuel filter, fuel gauges, and placards and paint for the existing generator system. Offerors must submit a 20-page business quote and a 30-page technical volume demonstrating their experience and capabilities. The government will evaluate proposals using a best-value tradeoff process where non-price evaluation criteria are more important than price, focusing on experience and technical approach. The original submission deadline was September 18, 2025 at 1700 Eastern Time, but has been extended to September 19, 2025 at 1400 Eastern Time, with quotes to be submitted via email to darrin.moore@noaa.gov.

This solicitation is designated as a set-aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) under NAICS code 336312 with a size standard of 750 employees, though the opportunity description also references it as a Total Small Business set-aside. The contract type is anticipated to be firm-fixed-price with no specific award value mentioned in the available documentation. The period of performance runs from September 30, 2025 through December 31, 2025, providing approximately three months for completion of the generator maintenance work. All work will be performed at the American Samoa Atmospheric Observatory located in Pago Pago, American Samoa. The government reserves the right to award based on initial quotes and may communicate with the most promising offeror to address any remaining issues before final award.
