Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is issuing a 5-Year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for well repair and maintenance at the Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources & Recovery Center (SNARRC). This contract aims to ensure the reliable operation of groundwater wells critical for the agency's mission in aquatic resource recovery. The BPA will facilitate timely rehabilitation, repair, and replacement services for up to five groundwater wells located approximately 16 miles southeast of Roswell, New Mexico. Work Details The contractor will perform rehabilitation, repair, and/or replacement work on up to five groundwater wells. Tasks include: mechanical rehabilitation, pump and motor repairs or replacements, column pipe and shaft repairs or replacements, inspection, removal, repair, reinstallation, testing, and start-up of well pumping equipment. Specific components to be addressed include vertical turbine pumps suitable for existing well specifications, submersible pumps meeting original manufacturer standards, bowl assemblies from approved manufacturers, and various associated components such as column pipes and bearings. The work scope may also involve machining to restore tolerances and test pumping for performance verification. Period of Performance The contract period will run from July 3, 2026, to July 2, 2031. Place of Performance Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources & Recovery Center (SNARRC), approximately 16 miles southeast of Roswell, New Mexico. Bidder Requirements Bidders must meet the following requirements: Small Business Set Aside - Total (SBA), possess relevant contractor licenses for well repair services, provide bid/payment/performance bonds as required by the contract terms. Bidders should demonstrate technical capability through a narrative describing their approach to inspection and repair processes. They must also provide evidence of past performance with at least three examples of similar projects completed within the last five years. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Coats Pump & Supply holding prior BPA/task orders under 140FS223A0085 (including rehabilitation and repair of SNARRC wells such as Well #1 and emergency repair of Well #3) valued at $61,561 for 07/25/23–03/02/26, and additional related work under the same incumbent contract for Well #4 repair ($13,608, 11/26/25–03/31/26). The current 5-year BPA for well rehabilitation and maintenance at SNARRC is consistent with these prior efforts, which involved repairing specific wells and emergency rehab activities using similar well components and repair/testing scope.
