The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service plans to modify an existing firm-fixed price contract with Peachtree Mechanical, Inc. to extend the performance period until November 30, 2010. Originally awarded on a sole-source basis under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, this extension is required to complete the project involving the replacement of critical mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in Buildings 1, 4, and 34 at the Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia. The contract is identified by the number AG-3K15-C-10-0001 and falls under NAICS code 238220, which pertains to plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. Peachtree Mechanical, based in Fayetteville, Georgia, remains the sole contractor for this modification. The effort is focused exclusively on the specified facility in Athens, GA, and managed through contact with Contracting Officer Jennifer M. Friel. This contract extension aims to provide the necessary time to ensure the successful completion of the infrastructure upgrades critical to ongoing research operations at the laboratory.
