F--Woods Hole Campus Asbestos Survey

Solicitation 1305M326Q0493 is a firm-fixed-price commercial services request issued by the Department of Commerce NOAA North East Fisheries Science Center for a comprehensive asbestos assessment at the Woods Hole campus in Massachusetts. This project is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 541620. The scope of work involves a facility-wide survey, sampling, and laboratory analysis across five buildings: the Aquarium, Main Building, Warehouse, Cottage, and Chemical Storage Building. The objective is to establish a legally compliant Asbestos Management Plan by identifying all regulated asbestos-containing materials and building materials. The contract is structured into four primary phases: asbestos survey and sampling, laboratory analysis, the drafting of a comprehensive survey report, and the creation of an employee information and notification plan if asbestos is confirmed. All work must be completed within 90 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The survey must be executed by an EPA AHERA-certified or state-licensed asbestos inspector, with laboratory analysis performed by an NVLAP-accredited facility. Award will be based on a comparative evaluation of technical approach and capability and price. Offerors must provide a technical narrative demonstrating they are appropriately licensed, permitted, trained, and insured to perform the work. Payment requests are to be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform System. The contract also includes specific labor requirements under the Service Contract Act wage determination and requires compliance with various FAR clauses regarding small business set-asides and contractor conduct.
