38--High Head Test Facility Equipment

The contract involves the replacement of a 250 hp vertical turbine pumping unit at a Bureau of Reclamation facility with a modern equivalent, including removal and disposal of the existing equipment and installation of a new pump, motor, and variable frequency drive (VFD), all in compliance with specified technical standards such as HI 14.4-2024, HI 9.6.3, ASME BPVC Section IX, IEEE 112-2017, and other industry codes. Work must be performed at Government facilities, with strict coordination to minimize operational disruption, adherence to site safety protocols including JHA and PPE, and compliance with Bureau of Reclamation security requirements including background investigations, DOI Access Card issuance, and mandatory protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The contractor is responsible for delivering certified pump performance curves, safety and removal plans, and ensuring all components are new, properly packaged for long-term storage, and marked with stainless-steel nameplates containing critical operational data. The procurement is a Small Business Set Aside, total, under NAICS code 333914, with full flow-down of small business subcontracting limitations, nonmanufacturer rules, and post-award representation requirements. All submissions are subject to evaluation under four equally weighted factors: technical capability, past performance, delivery schedule, and price, with award to be made based on best value, not lowest price technically acceptable. Delivery is due 365 days after award, with FOB destination terms, and performance is restricted to locations within the United States. The contract mandates electronic invoicing via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) and prohibits use of unauthorized payment systems without waiver. Security provisions under WBR 1452.237-80 require strict control of personnel access, immediate reporting of incidents, and full incorporation of security clauses into all subcontracts. No pricing or contract value has been disclosed in the solicitation materials.
