Water and Wastewater Superintendent Services - Beltsville Agricultural Research Center

The Department of Agricultural Research Service (USDA‑ARS) is soliciting Water and Wastewater Superintendent Services for the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. The requirement consists of a three‑month base period with a three‑month option (CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002). Offerors must submit a brief Statement of Qualifications (max 25 pages, excluding resumes and licenses) that demonstrates at least ten years of relevant contracting experience, financial stability, and the technical capability to meet the Performance Work Statement. Pricing for both the base and option periods must be provided as outlined in the Schedule of Items; failure to price any line item may result in exclusion. Past performance on federal facilities will be evaluated, and the award will be made to the technically highest‑rated offeror whose price is deemed fair and reasonable and whose past performance is acceptable or neutral. Technical qualifications outweigh price; trade‑offs will not be conducted, and the award is not limited to the lowest‑priced proposal. The solicitation (No. 1232SA26Q0780, NAICS 561210) includes a mandatory site visit on June 22, 2026, at Building 426, 426 Powder Mill Road, Beltsville, MD. All participants must be U.S. citizens and present ID. Evaluation will follow FAR 12.203 criteria (technical approach, qualifications, and price reasonableness) rather than the standard FAR 52.212‑2 commercial evaluation. Offerors must comply with the extensive list of FAR and USDA‑AGAR clauses (e.g., small‑business utilization, labor standards, Buy‑American, DEI, and environmental provisions) and submit all required blocks on the RFQ form. Questions should be directed to Angela Wingert (angela.wingert@usda.gov).
