Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is pursuing a sole-source procurement for renovation services at its new offices in the GAO building in Washington, D.C., with EMCOR Government Services (EGS) designated as the sole provider. The work includes relocating doors in four specific offices—2A07, 2A09, 2A20, and 2A28—along with removing systems furniture from office 2A18, all to be completed by October 1, 2026. The project will be conducted under simplified acquisition procedures per FAR Subparts 12 and 13, authorized by FAR 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as the CPSC has determined EGS is the only viable vendor within an acceptable geographic range for timely maintenance support. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit a capability statement by August 19, 2026, to demonstrate their ability to perform the work, though the government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source award regardless of responses. The procurement is subject to the availability of funds, meaning no binding contract can be issued until formal funding approval is received. All correspondence must be sent via email to Contract Specialist Felecia Pritchett at fpritchett@cpsc.gov, with no telephone inquiries accepted.

Maintenance, Repair, or Alteration of Real Property
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission intends to procure the installation, testing, and documentation of structured cabling infrastructure at the Government Accountability Office Building located at 441 G St NW, Washington, DC 20226. The work will include deploying CAT6, CAT6A, and fiber optic cabling systems to support network, voice, video, and peripheral services across workspaces, conference rooms, and specialized areas, ensuring full compliance with federal IT standards, agency policies, and industry codes. All labor, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, and supervision must be provided by the contractor to deliver a reliable, standards-compliant system that meets current and future operational demands. A mandatory pre-bid site walk-through will be scheduled as part of the formal solicitation to allow potential offerors to assess pathway access, drop locations, and telecom closets within the facility.
This procurement will be conducted as a firm-fixed-price requirement under FAR Part 13 and applicable FAR Part 36 provisions using a Request for Quotations process. No quotations will be accepted in response to this presolicitation notice; all submissions must be made in accordance with the official RFQ, which will be posted on SAM.gov when available. Only vendors with an active SAM.gov registration at the time of submission will be considered responsive, and failures to register will result in rejection. The Government anticipates awarding the contract to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror, potentially without requesting revisions to submitted quotes. The solicitation number is 61320626Q0025, with the primary point of contact being Ankur Patel at apatel@cpsc.gov, and the place of performance is in Washington, DC, while the contracting office is based in Bethesda, MD.

Maintenance, Repair, or Alteration of Real Property
The Consumer Product Safety Commission awarded a sole-source, firm fixed-price contract for Lab Information Management Enhanced (LIMS) Operations and Maintenance to LabVantage Solutions, Inc., under FAR 13.5 and justified under FAR 6.302-5(a), due to the proprietary nature of the LabVantage LIMS system. The contract, valued at $908,653.87, covers a five-year period from September 27, 2026, to September 26, 2031, and is performed remotely at the National Product Testing and Evaluation Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The scope includes seven essential functions: system administration and monitoring with a mandatory 99.9% uptime, interface monitoring, installation and patch management, validation testing and documentation, defect remediation, environment synchronization across Development, QA, and Production tiers, and ongoing system optimization and upgrades. Only LabVantage possesses the proprietary source code, technical data rights, and system expertise necessary to perform these tasks, making competition impracticable and third-party support prohibited. The contract imposes strict performance standards centered on data integrity, zero data loss, and seamless integration with JBOSS middleware, though specific regulatory standards like FDA 21 CFR Part 11 or ISO are not explicitly cited. No line-item cost breakdowns, detailed delivery schedules, FOB terms, or packaging requirements are provided, as the effort is entirely service-based and non-physical. The award excludes competitive evaluation, and no key personnel, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are detailed, as the sole-source nature inherently limits competition. Invoicing procedures, payment office details, accounting codes, and formal inspection criteria are not specified, and while the contracting office is located in Bethesda, no contracting officer, COR, or COTR contact information is provided. The contract includes options within the total value, with a future market research review planned before expiration to assess potential for competitive bidding.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is soliciting firm-fixed price quotes for analytical testing services to detect and quantify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in textile samples under a Blanket Purchase Agreement with a total ceiling of $250,000 over the contract period, not to exceed $50,000 per option year. The solicitation, identified as RFQ 61320626Q0017, is issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation under Subpart 12.6 and incorporates applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including 52.212-1, 52.212-4 (with a deviation), and 52.212-3, as well as key compliance clauses such as 52.203-6 Alternate I, 52.203-13, 52.203-17, 52.203-19, 52.222-90, and 52.233-4 (with deviation). Offerors must be actively registered in SAM.gov at the time of quote submission and throughout contract performance, and must include their Taxpayer Identification Number, CAGE code, and UEI number prominently in the submission. Proof of active SAM registration is mandatory and must accompany the quote. Quotes must be submitted via email to Lydia Glasgow at lglasgow@cpsc.gov no later than 12:00 PM EST on June 17, 2026, with questions due by June 5, 2026. The solicitation requires three separate attachments: Volume 1 includes a signed SF 1449 and a separate firm-fixed price proposal; Volume 2 contains a technical proposal detailing methods for Total Organic Fluorine and PFAS analysis, detection and quantification limits, method blanks, PFAS search library information, and report formatting; and Volume 3 includes representations and certifications per FAR 52.212-3. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility with delivery of analytical reports within 30 days of sample receipt. The initial scope includes five textile samples with optional follow-up orders totaling up to sixty samples. Evaluation is based on a best value approach where the technical proposal is significantly more important than past performance, which in turn is more important than price; pricing will not be scored but will
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is soliciting quotes for a firm-fixed-price subscription to a financial analytics database to support economic analysis in support of product safety regulations. The service requires unlimited web-based access for three CPSC staff members, including account activation within five business days of award, user training via webinar within ten business days, and monthly usage reports upon request. The subscription term is twelve months, with no automatic renewals, and all pricing must remain valid through September 30, 2026. Award is contingent upon agency funding and will follow a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) approach, meaning the lowest-priced offeror whose submission meets all minimum essential requirements outlined in the Statement of Work will be selected. Technical acceptability is evaluated on a pass/fail basis, with price being the determining factor among technically acceptable offers. The contract is issued as a Request for Quotation under Subpart 12.6 and applies commercial item clauses from FAR 52.212-1, 52.212-3, and 52.212-4, requiring offerors to include their Taxpayer Identification Number, CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, and point of contact information. A valid SAM.gov registration is mandatory for submission and award, and offerors must submit the appropriate representations and certifications under FAR 52.212-3, with only paragraph (b) required if SAM is current. Performance occurs at CPSC facilities in Bethesda, Maryland, with small items delivered to the Mail Room in Room 410 and large items coordinated through the loading dock. All deliveries must bear the Purchase Order Number and include a packing slip. Payment will be processed electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and Wide Area Workflow is not permitted. The contractor must comply with stringent security requirements including PIV authentication, NIST Secure Software Development Framework, OMB M-22-18 compliance with a Software Bill of Materials, adherence to the Privacy Act, and immediate reporting of any security incident or data breach. All subcontractors must flow down the same obligations, and no contract personnel may use personally owned devices to access or store government data except through approved virtual desktop infrastructure. The Contracting Officer’s Representative and Contracting Officer are currently undesignated, and submissions must be sent via email to APatel@cpsc.gov no later than June 2, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
