Floor Replacement

This solicitation, numbered 1232SA26Q0887, is a combined synopsis and request for quotation issued under FAR Part 12 for the replacement of flooring in BSL-2 + Lab 247 located in Frederick, Maryland, with performance scheduled to conclude by December 31, 2026. The acquisition is structured as a total small business set-aside, with the North American Industry Classification System code 238330 and a small business size standard of $19 million, limiting eligibility to verified small business concerns including HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. All offers must satisfy current SAM.gov registration with a valid UEI number, and offerors must affirmatively represent their small business status and compliance with required certifications, including those related to employment eligibility, non-discrimination, and anti-trafficking. The evaluation follows a lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where technical acceptability is determined first based on a detailed written technical approach that must be authored by a qualified employee—AI-generated content is prohibited—and documented experience with at least one to two comparable flooring projects completed within the past five years, including verifiable contract details and proof of successful completion. Past performance is assessed for risk, and any unsatisfactory ratings, termination for default, or marginal evaluations will render an offer technically unacceptable. Price is the sole determinant of award once technical acceptability is confirmed, with no trade-offs permitted. The scope requires installation of a monolithic epoxy flooring system with specific performance criteria, including a minimum thickness of 3/16 inch, DCOF ≥ 0.42 slip resistance, CSP 2–3 substrate preparation, and a 1-year workmanship warranty with a 5–10-year material warranty. Work must be performed during normal business hours in an occupied facility, with any after-hours work requiring 48-hour advance approval. Contractors must submit a detailed work plan within seven days of award and a Site-Specific Safety Plan within 14 days, both subject to government approval. All personnel must comply with USDA PIV requirements under HSPD-12 and Directives 4620-002, including identity verification and LincPass authorization, with strict prohibitions on unauthorized substitution. Daily cleanup, debris removal, and adherence to OSHA, ASTM, NFPA, and ARS 242.1M standards are mandatory, with inspections conducted by the government at the performance
