J045--Domestic Water Booster Pump

The contract awards two domestic water booster pump assemblies to the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida, under a total small business set-aside for NAICS code 332913, with a firm fixed price structure. The scope requires delivery and installation of two complete pump systems capable of producing 362 GPM at 155 feet TDH with 40 HP motors, fully compliant with technical specifications and Buy American provisions. All items must be delivered to Building 110 Warehouse by August 30, 2026, with FOB destination terms making the Government responsible for acceptance upon delivery. The contract mandates compliance with security requirements outlined in FAR clauses 52.240-91 and 52.240-93, including safeguarding federal contract information and adherence to NIST 800-171 controls, with obligations flowing down to all subcontractors. The contractor must also comply with FASCSA prohibitions, reporting any use of restricted products within 72 hours, and follow the Prompt Payment Act and Assignment of Claims Act. Packaging must meet FAR 852.247-73 standards, with clear labeling including the delivery address and point of contact Crystal B. Grimball, and invoices must be submitted electronically through VA’s approved systems upon delivery and acceptance. The solicitation requires offerors to submit four volumes: pricing, past performance, technical documentation including manufacturer data and installation plans, and administrative documents with a signed SF-1449 and a current manufacturer’s authorization letter. Proposals must be submitted via email by June 12, 2026, in Word, Excel, or PDF format without compression, and all bidders must be registered in SAM with a valid UEI and certify as small businesses under the specified size standard. The Government will evaluate proposals based on price, technical merit, past performance, and administrative compliance using a trade-off approach, not LPTA, allowing selection of the most advantageous offer rather than necessarily the lowest priced. Payment will be made via EFT through the Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas, and the Contracting Officer, William Penhallegon, retains oversight with Crystal Grimball serving as the de facto technical point of contact for delivery acceptance. No contracts, exhibits, or attachments are included in the solicitation.
