Yap Hospital Mold Mitigation

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, is conducting market research through a sources-sought notice for mold mitigation and HVAC system restoration at Yap Memorial Hospital in Colonia, Yap, Federated States of Micronesia. This notice is not a solicitation and does not commit the government to award a contract; it is intended solely to gather information from potential contractors to inform future acquisition planning. The anticipated award date is August 2026, contingent on the availability of funds, and any costs incurred in preparing responses are borne by the respondents. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for future award, and joint ventures must also be registered as such. Responses are due by May 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM Alaska Standard Time and must be submitted electronically to travis.tofi@usace.army.mil. The procurement uses NAICS code 562910 for miscellaneous remediation services with no socioeconomic set-aside in effect, although local businesses in Micronesia and neighboring countries are encouraged to respond. The project requires comprehensive mold remediation, replacement of degraded building materials, and the refurbishment of two previously acquired chillers to establish proper humidity and temperature control in a high-moisture tropical environment. Work must adhere to stringent standards including ASHRAE 170, NFPA 99, FGI Guidelines, UFC 3-440-05N, and ISO 14644-1. Key deliverables include a detailed design and phasing plan, as-built drawings in CAD and PDF format, daily progress reports, post-remediation air and surface sampling validated with 72-hour incubated petri dish tests, operation and maintenance manuals, and a one-year quarterly preventive maintenance schedule. All documentation must be submitted in both digital and printed form, with digital files in Microstation or AutoCAD format, JPEG photos, and PDF reports delivered on DVD. Contractors must source labor from Guam due to the absence of skilled trades on Yap, coordinate all activities with hospital staff, obtain Yap State business registration and other permits at least ten days prior to work commencement, and comply with the International Building Code 2018 in the absence of local codes. A safety and health plan, activity hazard analysis, and design quality control plan must be submitted prior to mobilization, and all work must be performed without disrupting essential hospital operations. No formal contract clauses,
