The U.S. Department of Labor, through its Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), has issued a solicitation for the procurement of MX6 gas monitoring equipment under solicitation number 1605C4-26-Q-00034, with an issue date of April 1, 2026. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order, selected under the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method, meaning award will be made to the responsive offeror whose proposal meets minimum technical specifications and submits the lowest price. The contract requires delivery of 56 units of MX6 gas monitors across multiple part numbers and 7 units of an additional variant, all to be delivered within 30 days after receipt of order to Ballard, West Virginia. Each unit must be MSHA-approved for use in underground and gassy coal mines, with compliance verified against detailed product specifications outlined in attached documentation. The Government will inspect and accept all supplies upon delivery at the designated receiving location, with the Contracting Officer’s Representative responsible for certification. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including 52.212-4 for commercial item terms, 52.204-19 for representations and certifications, and 52.232-39 and 52.232-40 relating to unauthorized obligations and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. Notably, clause 52.204-24 mandates disclosure of whether the contractor provides or uses covered telecommunications equipment or services, requiring submission of Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code if affirmative responses are provided. Organizational Conflict of Interest provisions under 2952.209-70 impose a three-year restriction on the contractor's eligibility for future DOL contracts if nonpublic information is obtained during performance, and prohibit involvement as a subcontractor on any such restricted contract. Invoicing must be submitted through the Department of Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform or the DOL Quickpay email system, with payments processed by the MSHA Finance Branch in Denver, Colorado. No military packaging or marking standards are specified, but delivery must align with the attached distribution sheet and include all required accessories. The solicitation does not establish a contract value, as pricing is provided by vendors in response to the RFQ, and no set-aside or socioeconomic requirements are designated.
