NIH Construction IDIQ 2014-2016

The NIH Construction IDIQ 2014-2016 is a multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive construction, design-build, alteration, and repair services for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The contract enables NIH to rapidly procure construction and renovation services across its diverse facility portfolio, covering everything from laboratory modifications and mechanical system upgrades to office reconfigurations and infrastructure improvements. The vehicle allows NIH to issue firm-fixed-price task orders to multiple pre-qualified contractors for addressing immediate and strategic facility maintenance and enhancement needs.

Typical task orders under this IDIQ range from approximately $100,000 to over $25 million, with most falling between $250,000 and $5 million, and durations typically spanning 6-24 months. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Polu KAI Services LLC (a minority-owned, veteran-owned small business), Patriot Construction LLC (a service-disabled veteran-owned small business), Amatea LLC (an 8(a) and women-owned small business), and joint ventures like Grimberg/Amatea JV. Common set-aside designations include Total Small Business, Competitive 8(a), and standard small business categories, though many task orders have no specific set-aside. The work predominantly occurs at the NIH Bethesda campus, focusing on renovations to research laboratories, clinical spaces, utility infrastructure, and administrative areas across multiple buildings, with work typically funded through the Department of Health and Human Services.
