Scope: Federal

Requirements: SCOPE: The requested service under this contract is to install sixteen (16) equipment protection shields in Building 10, Tenth Floor, B & N Corridor.

The installation of these protective shields will help safeguard valuable laboratory equipment from potential water and leak damage.

Over the past several months, building 10 has experienced multiple flooding and leak-related incidents that have negatively impacted laboratory operations and placed critical research equipment at risk.

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.

Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
