About this opportunity

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service is seeking small businesses to provide comprehensive steam distribution maintenance services for the Heating Operation and Transmission Division (HOTD) Steam Distribution Complex in Washington, DC. The contract will encompass tours, inspections, basic operations, preventive maintenance, minor repairs under $1,000, and general housekeeping, with potential additional task order services for major and emergency repairs. Contractors must demonstrate technical capabilities through a five-page capability statement, including experience, bonding capacity, references, and insurance capabilities. The government will utilize FAR Part 15 tradeoff source selection procedures, evaluating proposals based on technical merit and cost, with the ability to select technically superior offers that are not the lowest-priced. Interested small businesses must submit their Letter of Interest by February 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST to jenique.markman@gsa.gov, with copies to specified GSA contacts.

The procurement is designated as a small business set-aside, with a NAICS code of 561210 and a small business size standard of $47 million. The anticipated contract value ranges between $10-15 million, covering maintenance of steam supply piping, condensate return piping, and related mechanical and electrical equipment across multiple geographic zones. The contractor will be required to maintain a full-time project manager available 24/7 and staff qualified trade personnel including electricians, welders, and pipefitters. The work involves maintaining 240 different "assemblies" and responding to emergency repairs with varying priority levels, from immediate response for critical issues to 30 days for normal priority tasks. Contractors must also be prepared to work in potentially challenging environments, including confined spaces with potential asbestos materials and high-temperature settings, with a monthly "stop-loss" threshold of $10,000 for repairs and replacements.
