The Environmental Protection Agency awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Nichols Contracting, Inc. on September 8, 2026, with an $18 million ceiling and ultimate completion date of September 7, 2031. The contract covers construction services at the William Jefferson Clinton Buildings in Washington, D.C.
The contract was issued without a set-aside. Work is performed at 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.
The originating solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice in June 2025, sought facility improvement services across four functional areas at the Clinton Buildings: painting services (patching, painting, and wallpaper replacement), carpet installation (including rubber base molding and transition strips), general construction services for building systems, and specialty painting and remediation services. The EPA Cincinnati Procurement Operations Division structured the procurement as four separate indefinite-delivery contracts with five-year ordering periods under firm fixed-price task orders. Awards for Functional Areas A, C, and D proceeded under FAR Part 15 negotiation; Functional Area B used both FAR Part 12 and Part 15 procedures. Functional Task Area D was set aside exclusively for small businesses. Multiple NAICS codes apply depending on functional area, with size standards ranging from $19 million to $45 million. Contractors were required to provide all necessary labor, materials, and services for concurrent, high-volume efforts across multiple floors and buildings within the historical facility complex.
