HA0 - FY25 - refrigerator and freezer maintenance and repair services (CBE, SBE vendors only)

The District of Columbia is seeking refrigerator and freezer maintenance and repair services for Fiscal Year 2025, with a procurement focused on comprehensive equipment upkeep for municipal facilities. This contract opportunity (ID: 6878de7f081108b1690ece44) is specifically designed to secure vendor services for diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining refrigeration equipment across various District agencies. The procurement requires vendors to provide skilled technicians capable of performing both preventative maintenance and emergency repair services for commercial refrigeration units. Proposals must be submitted by July 18, 2025, with a very narrow two-day window from the original posting date of July 16, 2025. The contract appears to emphasize rapid response times, technical expertise, and the ability to maintain complex refrigeration systems in municipal settings. Vendors will likely need to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of commercial refrigeration technologies, diagnostic capabilities, and proven repair methodologies.

This contract opportunity is exclusively reserved for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) vendors, effectively limiting competition to smaller, local District of Columbia-based businesses. The set-aside designation suggests a strategic procurement approach aimed at supporting local economic development and providing opportunities for smaller contractors. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the provided information, municipal refrigeration maintenance contracts typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 annually depending on the scope and number of facilities involved. The restriction to CBE and SBE vendors indicates a strong local preference and commitment to supporting District-based businesses. Potential respondents will need to demonstrate current certification status, technical competence in refrigeration systems, and the capacity to provide consistent, reliable maintenance services across multiple municipal locations.
