About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service is seeking to procure a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Superintendent through RFQ 1232SA25Q0445 to manage water and wastewater systems at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Maryland. The contractor must provide one qualified superintendent to supervise operations, maintenance, and compliance reporting for eight water wells, a water treatment plant, water distribution system, wastewater collection system, and two wastewater treatment plants, with primary focus on meeting Maryland Department of Environment permit requirements. The superintendent must possess minimum qualifications including 5 years as a licensed superintendent, 7 years managing water/wastewater facilities, and 3 years direct responsibility managing similar facilities. The government will evaluate proposals based on best value considering technical capability, past performance (relevancy and recency within past three years), and price, with technical and past performance factors being slightly more important than price. Questions regarding the requirement must be submitted by August 1, 2025 at 9:00 AM PST/PDT, and quotes are due August 4, 2025 at 2:00 PM PST/PDT via email to Elizabeth Wilson at Elizabeth.Wilson2@usda.gov.
This opportunity is designated as a total 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services) with a small business size standard of $47 million. No incumbent contractor is specifically identified in the solicitation materials. While no specific award value is disclosed, the contract structure is a 180-day performance-based service consisting of a 90-day base period with one 90-day option period, set to begin August 25, 2025. The contractor will provide one superintendent to manage the comprehensive water and wastewater infrastructure serving the research facility. Work will be performed at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center located at 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Building B-426 BARC East, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, with site visits scheduled for July 28 and July 31, 2025 to allow potential contractors to assess the facilities and requirements.
