Site Effluent System
Solicitation # 1333ND26RNB190022
The solicitation for the Gaithersburg Site Effluent Treatment System, identified by number 1333ND26RNB190022, is a reissued opportunity aimed at fully reconstructing the aging and deteriorated treatment system located on the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Originally constructed in the mid-1990s to meet Washington Sanitary Sewer Commission effluent standards, the system has since become nonfunctional due to severe structural and mechanical failures. Critical components including the wet tank’s interior floor supports, aluminum grating, blowers, heaters, stir mechanism, and explosion-proof electrical systems are corroded, seized, or completely inoperable, rendering the facility unsafe for access and unable to meet current regulatory and life safety codes. The scope requires a complete overhaul: installation of a new structural floor and support framework, epoxy lining of the wet tank, replacement of all ventilation and heating systems, a new agitation motor and shaft, modern pH monitoring and data signaling, upgraded lighting and electrical outlets, and full replacement of all hazardous-area electrical wiring and conduit. All work must comply with current applicable regulations and standards. The contract is set aside exclusively for Women-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 561210, with proposals due by August 4, 2026, and award based on best value to the government, evaluated across Technical Approach, Schedule, and Price—though specific weighting criteria are not disclosed. Performance is expected to be completed within 200 days from Notice to Proceed, and a second site visit is scheduled per the attached amendment to ensure offerors fully understand the site conditions. Questions must be submitted by June 18, 2026, to the designated point of contact, Sasha Bradford, via email. While no detailed pricing structure, CLINs, or contract administration details are provided, submission must include comprehensive technical methodology, a feasible execution timeline, and a clear price proposal. All work is to be performed on-site at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with no mention of packaging, marking, or delivery terms, and no additional bonding or insurance requirements specified within the available documentation.
