The FDA Office of Acquisitions and Grants Services in Silver Spring, MD, is preparing to award multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts for tobacco retailer inspections across four specified regions, covering states such as Connecticut, Illinois, Alabama, and Puerto Rico. These contracts are set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 561611, which pertains to Investigation and Personal Background Check Services. The primary task involves inspecting retail establishments that sell cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to ensure compliance with the Tobacco Control Act, documenting inspection results, and supporting enforcement actions, including testimony and evidence submission. The contract will span five years, from September 30, 2025, to September 29, 2030, with individual task orders potentially lasting 12 months or varying in length. Interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and employ commissionable inspectors who are qualified health, food, or drug officers from their respective states or territories. The procurement process is conducted via FAR Part 15 contracting by negotiation, and this notice serves solely for informational purposes, with no proposals being solicited at this stage. The government emphasizes that all responses are at the expense of the respondents, and interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for the official solicitation and any updates.
