RECOVERY - Award Task Order modification for Architect and Engineering Services to perform re-commissioning at the Southern Horticulture Laboratory at Poplarville, MS. The modification will include O&M development to support the re-commissioning effort

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service plans to modify an existing firm fixed-price task order for Perkins & Will Group, LTD to extend re-commissioning services at the Southern Horticulture Laboratory in Poplarville, Mississippi. This modification will add the development of an operation and maintenance plan to support the ongoing re-commissioning work. The original task order was awarded under an Architect and Engineering Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contract, which was competed according to the Brooks Act. Perkins & Will, Inc. was selected based on technical expertise, specialized knowledge of the project location, and cost analysis. This opportunity is exclusive to Perkins & Will as the current A-E firm under task order contract AG-3K15-C-08-0016. The modification reinforces the commitment to maintaining and improving the laboratory’s operational efficiency through enhanced design and engineering support. The point of contact for this modification is Ronda A. Ford, reachable via phone or email, and the modification reflects continued investment in facility optimization at the specified site in Mississippi.
