What this contract is for

NOAA’s Facilities Engineering Office requests authority to obligate funds for design, renovation, and commissioning of a permanent Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) laboratory at 904 S. Morris Street, Oxford, Maryland, including relocation of existing lab operations from a temporary trailer and decommissioning of the trailer space. The contractor will perform assessment and planning, prepare approximately 700 square feet of lab space for BSL-2 use, move and set up Government-owned equipment, decontaminate and broom-clean the trailer, and provide orientation, records, and warranty support. This project supports NCCOS and related NOAA programs by providing a safe, code-compliant BSL-2 lab needed to conduct coastal and ocean science in line with federal biosafety and facility requirements. If not approved and funded, NOAA will need to continue relying on an aging, non-ideal trailer lab, with increased risk of biosafety, facility, and mission impacts.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
