USDA ARS - BARC O&M Support Services - MRAS

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to identify potential contractors for a preventive maintenance support services contract. This initiative is focused on maintaining the operational efficiency and longevity of facilities at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) located in Beltsville, Maryland. The USDA's Agricultural Research Service aims to ensure that its facilities are well-maintained, which is critical for supporting ongoing agricultural research and development efforts.

The contract will involve comprehensive preventive maintenance services at the BARC facility. This includes regular inspection, servicing, and repair of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to prevent equipment failures and ensure optimal performance. The primary goal is to minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure components through systematic maintenance activities.

Contractors will be expected to provide skilled personnel capable of executing a range of maintenance tasks as outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). These tasks include routine checks, troubleshooting issues before they escalate into major problems, and implementing corrective actions efficiently. The USDA seeks partners who can deliver high-quality service while adhering to safety standards and operational protocols.
