TSS - TSC - canines leak detection

The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, is seeking proposals for the utilization of trained canines to detect leaks in buried water pipelines. The contractor will be required to conduct two separate surveys, one on a 10-mile section of treated water pipeline in Pierre, South Dakota, and one on a 10-mile section of raw water pipeline on the Ute Mountain Reservation near Cortez, Colorado. The contractor must have at least 2 years of experience performing leak detection surveys using trained canines and provide references demonstrating the capability and effectiveness of the proposed method. The government anticipates making a Firm Fixed Price award for this requirement, with proposals due by April 12, 2024.

This opportunity is set aside for small businesses. The NAICS code is likely 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), and the PSC code could be W032 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment). There are no known incumbents or current contractors identified. The government has not provided a specific award value or budget range, but the key numerical details indicate the requirement involves two separate 10-mile pipeline surveys.
