American Lake Generator Muffler Repair

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 20 in Vancouver, Washington, is soliciting bids for the repair and replacement of a muffler on an emergency generator located at the American Lake Division in Tacoma, Washington. This is a Time and Materials contract with a deadline for responses on June 16, 2026, and the work involves parts replacement, crane usage, technician labor, and project administration, with all activities to be performed on-site. The contractor must provide certified Caterpillar Inc. technicians, ensure compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations, and successfully perform a final generator test under load to confirm proper function and leak-free operation. The Government will inspect and accept the work at the same location upon satisfactory completion. The contract incorporates key Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses including 52.212-4 for commercial item terms with deviations, 52.222-90 on DEI discrimination prohibitions with deviations, 52.240-91 on security prohibitions with deviations, and 52.252-2 for incorporated clauses. Offerors must provide a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, disclose any noncompliance with prohibitions on forced labor or covered telecommunications equipment, and meet small business size standards if claiming such status. All invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Tungsten Network, and payments will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer. While the solicitation does not specify exact pricing or labor hours, vendors must submit detailed quotes for each CLIN, including parts, crane charges, labor, and administration. No packaging, marking, or MIL-STD requirements are included, and the contracting officer’s representative will be assigned post-award to oversee performance; no COTR is designated. The evaluation will prioritize price, technical capability, past performance, and small business participation, though no weights or evaluation methodology have been specified beyond the standard commercial item framework.
