AI Contract Overview
The General Services Administration is seeking information through a sources-sought notice to inform future procurement planning for the development of standardized Water Management Plans (WMPs) across 180 federal buildings nationwide. These plans must comply with ASHRAE Standard 188 and Guideline 12 to manage legionellosis risks by implementing proactive measures such as regular monitoring of chlorine levels and water temperature at point-of-use outlets, cleaning and replacing aerators and showerheads, and validating equipment performance. Routine flushing is explicitly prohibited as a control strategy, and all plans must align with additional guidance from the CDC, AIHA, and GSA Order PBS 1000.7B and its associated Desk Guide for Water Quality Management. The WMPs are to be submitted using a GSA-provided template and must be accompanied by resumes demonstrating team qualifications in water treatment, engineering, and microbiology, along with certifications such as ASSE or licensure as a sanitary engineer. Responses must be submitted via email to specified GSA points of contact by May 11, 2026, and must follow a numerical order with a cover sheet containing company details. This request does not constitute a solicitation or lead to a contract award; it serves solely as market research to gather industry capabilities, experience, and best practices. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing data, packaging requirements, or formal acceptance protocols are included because no award will result from this notice. The place of performance is nationwide, and the agency will use the collected information to design future contracting actions for water safety management across its portfolio of owned properties.
