BPA for Emergency Generator & ATS Repairs

The contract solicitation, identified as RFP No. 6-B187-P-00146-00, seeks vendors to provide comprehensive emergency generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) service support at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, under a Basic Ordering Agreement structure. Proposals must originate from vendors maintaining a primary service facility within 75 miles of the site and must include an in-house team of mechanical and electrical engineers to support on-site technicians. The proposal submission is strictly structured into three separate electronic documents submitted via email: Part I, the Technical Proposal, which must comply with the evaluation criteria in Enclosure No. 5 and exclude all cost information; Part II, the Business/Management Proposal, requiring corporate profile and financial documentation; and Part III, the Cost/Price Proposal, which must fully complete and submit Enclosure No. 8, the Argonne Price Schedule, without incorporating any cost data from the other volumes. Failure to follow this format renders a proposal incomplete and ineligible for consideration. The contract includes a one-year base period beginning July 7, 2026, with two one-year option periods extending through July 6, 2029. Performance occurs entirely at the Argonne National Laboratory campus, requiring contractors to comply with stringent safety, security, and environmental protocols, including OSHA, NFPA, DOE, and 10 CFR regulations. Key evaluation factors prioritize the technical qualifications and experience of on-site technicians, the strength of local engineering support, proven experience servicing comparable equipment, and ownership of appropriate load bank testing equipment. The award will be made on a best value tradeoff basis, not lowest price technically acceptable, allowing for selection of a higher-priced offer if technical merit significantly outweighs cost. All bidders must complete and submit Enclosure No. 6, the ANL-70B Representations and Certifications form, maintain an active UEI in SAM.gov, and disclose any organizational conflicts of interest per Enclosure No. 7. Special contract clauses incorporate federal, DOE-specific, and Argonne requirements covering cybersecurity prohibitions, labor standards, anti-kickback provisions, contractor code of conduct, environmental compliance, HSPD-12 personnel verification, and handling of sensitive or classified information. Price data in the attached schedule remains unpopulated, making contract value contingent on offeror submissions, and all submissions must be received by 3:00 PM CST on May 26, 2026, via email to
