SOURCES SOUGHT Storage Tank Repair/Replace

Whatcom County, Washington has issued a Sources Sought notice for a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside project due August 10, 2026, to gather capability information prior to formal solicitation for underground storage tank leak detection system installation at a county facility.

This is a preliminary market research notice, not a binding solicitation. The county is identifying qualified SDVOSB contractors capable of supplying labor and materials to install a new L3 leak detection pipe sensor into the double-walled piping system of Generator Tank #1 (Building 76, 6,500 gallons). The existing sensor currently alarms on the Veeder Root tank monitoring system and requires replacement. The work falls under NIGP/UNSPSC 237120 (Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction).

Interested vendors should respond by August 10, 2026 with evidence of SDVOSB certification, relevant experience with underground storage tank systems and Veeder Root monitoring equipment, and technical capability to perform leak detection sensor installation. The county will use responses to inform the scope and format of a subsequent formal invitation for bid or request for proposal.
