AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is conducting market research through a sources sought notice to evaluate industry capability and commercial availability for the removal, purchase, delivery, installation, and commissioning of exhaust and vacuum pump systems at its facility in Irvine, California. This effort supports a construction requirement under NAICS code 236220, and the notice is being reissued due to a revised classification aimed at improving industry participation after no responses were received to the initial posting. The scope includes commercially available equipment, selective demolition of existing HVAC components, integration with building automation and controls, testing and balancing, commissioning, warranty support, and coordination to minimize disruption to active laboratory operations. The Government expects to use commercial products and services in accordance with FAR Part 12 and is seeking only minimal information from respondents through a standardized Excel questionnaire to assess small business availability for potential set-asides, industry capacity to perform the full scope, and the commerciality of proposed solutions. No contract will be awarded based on this notice, and responses are not compensated. All submissions must be completed using the provided Excel template and emailed to Sheneil Green, Senior Contractor Contract Specialist at FDA, with the email subject line formatted as “FDA IRV Exhaust and Vacuum Source Sought Response – [Company Name]”. Attachments are limited to product cutsheets or brochures. Responses are due by May 4, 2026. The requirement will be performed on-site at 19701 Fairchild, Irvine, CA 92612, with a project duration of 222 calendar days following issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Special requirements include mandatory HSPD-12 security clearances for all personnel, with a one-month processing time, requiring badges to be worn visibly and non-cleared individuals to be escorted at all times. Contractors must submit a Hazard Communication Plan with Safety Data Sheets, obtain all necessary local and federal permits for hazardous materials, provide full restoration of disturbed areas to original condition, and comply with OSHA and other applicable codes. Invoicing will be handled through GSA’s Project Management Information System, and all submittals must follow CSI formatting guidelines and be submitted electronically in PDF format. While the solicitation number is OC-2026-133488 and the contracting office is based in Rockville, Maryland, no contract value, funding codes, evaluation weights, or formal contract clauses are disclosed, as this is strictly a market research action to inform future acquisition planning.
