N--Shreveport Gate Operator Replacement

The National Weather Service’s Weather Forecast Office in Shreveport, Louisiana, requires replacement of its inoperable front entry gate operator with a new commercial-grade, heavy-duty slide gate system that meets specific performance and safety standards. The contract calls for complete removal and off-site disposal of the existing Ramset All Secure Rail Drive operator, installation of a new gate operator with a minimum travel speed of 12 inches per second, integration with the existing Aiphone IX intercom/access controller, calibration of new loop detector modules to match the current 4' x 10' inductive loops, and connection to the facility’s 120VAC electrical service and remote entry devices. The system must fully comply with UL 325 and ASTM F2200 safety standards, including the use of at least one pair of monitored photo-eyes or safety edges. The contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty on labor and installation, deliver basic operational and manual-override training to NWS staff, and maintain a daily sign-in log for all personnel on-site. Performance must be completed within 30 days of contract award at the Shreveport location, with no option periods available. This solicitation is evaluated under a Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement method with no tradeoffs, meaning awards will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is technically acceptable and offers the lowest price. Technical acceptability is determined through two pass/fail gates: the first requiring submission of detailed technical data sheets, clear identification of performing personnel, a narrative describing megger testing and Aiphone IX integration, and proof of warranty and licensing as specified in the Statement of Work; the second requiring demonstration of the ability to deliver and install the system in compliance with all SOW requirements. All quotes must be submitted as firm-fixed-price offers in PDF or Excel format by June 8, 2026, and must include the solicitation number, offeror’s UEI and contact information, a statement of agreement with all terms, and any required non-SAM representations such as whistleblower rights, prohibition on internal confidentiality agreements, and security exclusions. Payment is to be made monthly in arrears through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform system, and all work must adhere to NOAA and Department of Commerce policies, including prohibitions on contractor personnel exercising command or judgment on behalf of the government and mandatory compliance with federal requirements on sexual assault and harassment. The contract is classified under NAICS code 811310 and
