AI Contract Overview

The solicitation for the Gaithersburg Site Effluent Treatment System, identified by number 1333ND26RNB190022, is a reissued opportunity aimed at fully reconstructing the aging and deteriorated treatment system located on the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Originally constructed in the mid-1990s to meet Washington Sanitary Sewer Commission effluent standards, the system has since become nonfunctional due to severe structural and mechanical failures. Critical components including the wet tank’s interior floor supports, aluminum grating, blowers, heaters, stir mechanism, and explosion-proof electrical systems are corroded, seized, or completely inoperable, rendering the facility unsafe for access and unable to meet current regulatory and life safety codes. The scope requires a complete overhaul: installation of a new structural floor and support framework, epoxy lining of the wet tank, replacement of all ventilation and heating systems, a new agitation motor and shaft, modern pH monitoring and data signaling, upgraded lighting and electrical outlets, and full replacement of all hazardous-area electrical wiring and conduit. All work must comply with current applicable regulations and standards. The contract is set aside exclusively for Women-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 561210, with proposals due by August 4, 2026, and award based on best value to the government, evaluated across Technical Approach, Schedule, and Price—though specific weighting criteria are not disclosed. Performance is expected to be completed within 200 days from Notice to Proceed, and a second site visit is scheduled per the attached amendment to ensure offerors fully understand the site conditions. Questions must be submitted by June 18, 2026, to the designated point of contact, Sasha Bradford, via email. While no detailed pricing structure, CLINs, or contract administration details are provided, submission must include comprehensive technical methodology, a feasible execution timeline, and a clear price proposal. All work is to be performed on-site at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with no mention of packaging, marking, or delivery terms, and no additional bonding or insurance requirements specified within the available documentation.

This solicitation is reissued due to technical responses that were required in addition to adhering to the FAR Overhaul under Commercial Services. A second site visit is scheduled and listed within the attached Amendment. 


BACKGROUND INFORMATION 


The Gaithersburg Site Effluent Treatment System is located on the south end of campus at the “E” Gate intersection at Center Drive. Built in the mid-1990’s, the system was designed to comply with Washington Sanitary Sewer Commission (WSSC) effluent discharge requirements. The system is centered around a large concrete tank (wet tank) that provides primary effluent treatment with a stir / chop agitator system PH monitoring and treatment.


Currently, the interior wet tank operational, structural, and life safety systems have rendered this system inoperable. Inspection has found the primary floor support has detached along the south side of the wet tank. This has caused for the aluminum grating to sag, and no longer safe for personnel entry. More, there are areas of the aluminum grate that have literally rotted away.


Further inspection revealed several issues.


Internal blowers to address the confined space ventilation requirements are inoperable and heavily corroded. The system internal heater is inoperable and heavily corroded. The motor and stir mechanism is seized. Additionally, the motor is electrically inoperable. The explosion proof electrical wiring and conduit is in very poor condition.


In general, the entire wet tank and systems needs to be renovated and brought back to operable condition. This requires a complete replacement of all tank components. This includes an entire new floor surface and all support members, safety blowers and heaters, new stir / agitation motor and shaft system, PH monitoring probes and data signaling, epoxy lining of the wet tank, lighting, electrical outlets, and demolition and replacement of all the explosion proof electrical wiring and conduit. Other work as required to conform to current regulatory requirements, as required.


PURPOSE


The Site Effluent Treatment System requires a complete rebuilding of all internal components to fulfill operational, regulatory, and life safety requirements.


PLACE OF PERFORMANCE


NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland.


NOTICE TO OFFERORS


Proposals are being requested in accordance to the submission requirements for Technical Approach, Schedule, and Price. Award will be made on the basis of the best value to the government 


PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE  


The period of performance for this project is estimated at 200 days from Notice to Proceed.

Software-Defined Radio
Solicitation # 1333ND26QNB670444
This solicitation seeks a Firm Fixed Price quotation for a High-Performance Software-Defined Radio equivalent to the USRP X420, issued under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 for commercial products. The requirement is a sole-source procurement due to the critical compatibility of National Instruments hardware and software with NIST’s existing 5G/6G and Open RAN research platform; substituting alternative equipment would necessitate extensive redevelopment and testing, jeopardizing ongoing research activities. The procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334220, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, limiting eligibility to small businesses only. All quotations must be submitted electronically by August 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET to the designated contract specialists, and offerors must maintain an active SAM.gov registration at the time of submission.
