Prefabricated portable structure for storage

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center is soliciting a single prefabricated portable structure based on a high cube 20FT ISO shipping container for the secure storage and staging of equipment and hazardous materials. The unit must retain standard ISO corner castings and structural integrity to allow transport via forklift, crane, or tilt-bed truck, and must be weatherized and insulated to withstand coastal tropical conditions including salt air, high solar radiation, and heavy rainfall. Access is governed by a single set of double hollow metal doors, each 36 inches wide, with right-hand reverse active swing opening outward, equipped with flush bolts, an astragal, a single-cylinder deadbolt, and an entry lever lock using the same key. The structure must include two 6-inch side-wall vents, threshold, weather stripping, rust-inhibiting primer, and a finish topcoat paint. Delivery is due 120 days after award or by November 6, 2026, whichever is sooner, to the Daniel K. Inouye Regional Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, under FOB Destination terms with all shipping costs included in the quote. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 332311 and follows a lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method where technical acceptability and delivery schedule are pass/fail gates; failure in either disqualifies the offer. Proposals must be submitted via email in PDF or Microsoft Word format by June 30, 2026, at 1200 HT to the Contracting Officer and must include a signed SF-18, the offeror’s UEI number, and a statement confirming full agreement with all solicitation terms. Offerors must maintain an active SAM registration and comply with multiple FAR and CAR clauses covering whistleblower rights, subcontractor exclusion, child labor, equal opportunity, trafficking prevention, payment by electronic funds transfer, prompt payment, and prohibitions against inverted domestic corporations. Invoicing is required through the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and compliance with statutory requirements including the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, Kickbacks Act, and procurement integrity laws is mandatory. The contract includes strict non-discrimination clauses and prohibits racially discriminatory DEI activities, while requiring the contractor to report any subcontractor violations and provide full access to books and records upon request.
