About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a water tank installation project at the Gray, Maine Weather Forecast Office. The project requires the provision and installation of a 10,000-gallon underground water tank, including excavation, backfill, landscaping, insulation, drainage, venting, and associated pumps and lines to connect to existing water infrastructure. Vendors responding to this Sources Sought Notice must submit a five-page response detailing their business type, capabilities, and interest in bidding, with a focus on demonstrating the ability to independently perform at least 50% of the required work. The evaluation will consider the vendor's certification, licensure, and expertise in water tank installation, along with up to three examples of comparable projects. Interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit their responses by March 14, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time to Dallas.Thurston@noaa.gov.
The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a specific set-aside for small businesses, though the Small Business Size Standard is set at $39.5 Million for the NAICS code 237110 - Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction. The contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price type with a one-year period of performance, with work limited by ground thaw/freeze conditions and required to be completed before the ground freezes in the fall. The project location is at 1 Weather Lane, Gray, ME 04039, and contractors must comply with State of Maine codes and water quality standards. While no specific award value is mentioned, the project involves a comprehensive water tank installation that includes detailed requirements such as spray foam insulation, drainage lines, lift pump installation, and a carbon filter and UV light system. Contractors will need to provide an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual and demonstrate technical capabilities to successfully complete this specialized infrastructure project.
