Quick Summary
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing preventative maintenance and repair services for various mechanical equipment at its Headquarters facility in Springfield, VA. This is not a solicitation, but responses will inform future procurement decisions. Responses are due March 9, 2026, by 11:00 AM ET.

All work must adhere to GSA-PBS 5850 or manufacturer recommendations and be performed by factory-certified or otherwise qualified personnel. The scope includes timely service calls (Routine: 24 hrs, Urgent: 1-2 hrs, Emergency: immediately), adherence to strict personnel security requirements for DEA HQ access, and the development of specific plans (Quality Control, Repair, Preventive Maintenance, Hazardous Materials).

Eligibility & Set-Aside Considerations
Small businesses are strongly encouraged to respond. Vendors should indicate if requirements can be met on an "all or none" basis, individually, or through teaming arrangements. Responses will help the Government determine whether a future solicitation will be unrestricted or set-aside. Prior government contract work is not required for this RFI response.
