Navy - Executive Dining Facility Maintenance - MRAS

The Department of the Navy, through the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to identify potential contractors for preventive maintenance and repair services at the Navy Executive Dining Facility (NEDF) located within the Pentagon. The primary objective of this contract is to ensure that all commercial kitchen equipment operates efficiently and without interruption, thereby supporting the facility's operational needs. This initiative aligns with the broader goals of maintaining high standards in service delivery and equipment reliability within naval facilities.

The scope of work involves providing comprehensive quarterly preventive maintenance on all specified kitchen equipment within the NEDF. This includes tasks such as calibration, safety checks, descaling combination ovens, cleaning coils and condensers, and performing minor repairs or adjustments. The contractor will be responsible for supplying all necessary labor and tools required to maintain and repair commercial kitchen appliances and refrigeration units. Additionally, they are required to provide detailed check sheets and maintain a tracking book for all equipment serviced under this contract.

In cases where repairs are needed beyond routine maintenance, contractors must provide cost estimates for parts and labor before proceeding with any work. All repair activities must receive prior approval from the NEDF Director to ensure transparency and budgetary compliance. Contractors are expected to respond promptly to emergency repair requests within 24 hours or by the next business day. Furthermore, personnel involved in these tasks must hold a Commercial Food Equipment Service Association (CFESA) certification as proof of their qualification in handling sophisticated food service equipment.

The contract period consists of a four-month base year followed by four optional one-year extensions. During this time frame, contractors will perform scheduled maintenance visits without invoicing for travel time or parking when Pentagon facilities are used. To facilitate seamless operations at such a secure location as the Pentagon, contractor employees must undergo background checks coordinated through the DUSN(M) Security Division to obtain necessary access clearances.
