UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM ANNUAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, TESTING, AND REPAIR SERVICES ON EMERGENCY GENERATORS

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive preventive maintenance, load testing, and emergency repair services for its facility generators under a firm-fixed-price contract for Fiscal Year 2026 and beyond. This solicitation, issued under FAR Subpart 12.6 as a commercial item acquisition, requires all offerors to submit a detailed Technical Approach outlining their methodology for quarterly generator maintenance and annual load testing, along with verifiable past performance references from three to five similar contracts completed within the last ten years—failure to provide these references will render a proposal non-responsive. The financial proposal must include a structured Firm-Fixed-Price spreadsheet with clear breakdowns of normal and after-hours repair hourly rates, material mark-ups, and cost-on-repair percentages, all evaluated for fairness and reasonableness. Award will be made based on Best Value to the Government, with technical approach and past performance carrying greater weight than price, and no discussions anticipated after submission. Mandatory site visit is scheduled for April 28, 2026, with clarification questions due by May 1, 2026, and proposals due by May 11, 2026. Work will be performed exclusively at the Museum’s location in Washington, D.C., with additional service points in Bowie, Maryland. The contract includes a base period of one year and up to four one-year option periods, potentially extending to five years, with the government retaining unilateral authority to exercise options. Contractors must comply with OSHA lockout/tagout standards, NFPA 70E electrical safety codes, EPA hazardous waste disposal regulations, and manufacturer specifications for parts; all work must be performed by trained personnel with documented certifications, and lead technicians must be present for all service calls. The contractor is responsible for disposing of hazardous materials properly and ensuring all replacement components meet original equipment manufacturer standards. The contract incorporates key FAR clauses addressing service labor standards, payment by electronic funds transfer, prohibitions on certain telecommunications and software services, whistleblower protections, and subcontractor reporting requirements. All proposals must be submitted physically or via traditional mail to the Museum’s loading dock address, and AI-generated proposals are explicitly prohibited. Payment will be made to the Museum’s Accounts Payable Division at the provided Washington, D.C. address, with invoices required to reference the contract number.
