The U.S. Government, specifically the Patrick Space Force Base, is conducting a Sources Sought notice for a potential Request for Proposal (RFP) FA252125QB044, focusing on the maintenance, repair, and inspection of real property vertical transportation equipment (VTE) such as elevators and escalators. This project is part of a small business set-aside program with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 238290, having a size standard of $22 million. The goal is to identify interested and capable vendors, with a focus on various socio-economic business classifications. Interested companies must submit a capabilities package detailing their size, business status, relevant experience, and prior performance on similar contracts. Responses are required to specify whether the entity is a supplier or manufacturer, and teaming arrangements must outline the division of work. While this notice is for market research and planning, it does not promise future contracts and emphasizes that respondents will incur no costs covered by the Government. All responses must be submitted electronically by March 19, 2025, to the provided contact. Registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) is mandatory for eligibility in contract consideration.
The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the maintenance, repair, and inspection services of vertical transportation equipment (VTE) at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring all VTE, which includes elevators, escalators, and wheelchair lifts, operate safely and efficiently, adhering to various safety codes and standards such as ASME and OSHA. The contract includes full maintenance coverage with exclusions for alterations, acts of vandalism, and routine cleaning activities.
The Contractor must prepare a Maintenance Control Program that schedules inspections and maintenance, guarantees a 95% availability of the equipment, and responds to routine and emergency service calls within specified timeframes. Performance will be measured against key metrics including quality of repairs, adherence to the Maintenance Control Program, and timely reporting.
Additionally, the document specifies responsibilities concerning environmental compliance, safety procedures, and security requirements at the base, along with outlining qualifications for contractor personnel who must be certified in VTE maintenance. This comprehensive framework ensures the ongoing safety and functionality of vertical transportation at the base while maintaining rigorous compliance with required standards and regulations.
