PMSC FOR VERTICAL RECIPROCATING LIFTS

The U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica, is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive maintenance services for two vertical reciprocating lifts listed in Attachment 1, ensuring they remain in safe, reliable, and efficient operating condition in strict compliance with ASME B20.1-2006 standards and local regulations. The contractor is responsible for all labor, tools, transportation, equipment, and administrative support necessary to perform monthly preventative maintenance, repairs, and component replacements using only parts supplied by the U.S. Embassy. A detailed maintenance schedule specifying the exact day and duration of each monthly visit must be provided, along with an equipment-specific checklist that is completed during every service and posted in the lift machine space. Annual “No-Load” and five-year “Full Load” safety tests are required, with all testing procedures, labor, and test weights provided by the contractor and witnessed by the OBO Inspector. The contract is a firm fixed-price agreement with a 12-month performance period, with an option to extend for up to five years total under FAR 52.217-9. Payment is for services rendered and must be submitted electronically to kingstoninvoices@state.gov; no advance payments are permitted. All contractors must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid UEI, and the award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis to the first responsible, technically acceptable offeror with the lowest price. Technical acceptability hinges on proven experience, past performance, and demonstrated ability to perform, while responsibility requires adequate financial resources, necessary equipment, ethical business conduct, and compliance with U.S. government standards including the Defense Base Act insurance requirement. The work must be performed during standard business hours at the embassy’s location in Kingston, with full adherence to safety protocols, including submission of a Site Safety and Health Plan prior to commencement and compliance with EM 385-1-1 and other federal safety regulations. Prohibitions on certain foreign-made hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment apply, and the contractor must enforce anti-trafficking policies and ensure subcontractors comply with all applicable clauses. Maintenance documentation, including checklists and schedules, must be maintained and submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative.
