USDA Headquarters Construction 2016-2019

The USDA Headquarters Construction 2016-2019 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive construction, design, and design-build services for facilities within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) headquarters complex in Washington, D.C. and the George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville, Maryland. The contract vehicle supports a wide range of facility improvement and maintenance activities, including interior renovations, electrical and mechanical upgrades, asbestos abatement, carpet replacement, painting, and structural modifications. With a shared ceiling of $96,000,000 and an award date of September 14, 2016, the contract was established to provide flexible, on-demand construction services for USDA's administrative facilities.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on interior renovation and facility upgrade work, with typical values ranging from approximately $3,000 to $600,000 and durations typically spanning several months. Two prime contractors, B3 Enterprises LLC and Pennoyer Construction LLC, have been the primary recipients of delivery orders, with both being small businesses (B3 is a minority-owned business, while Pennoyer is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business). Although the contract was originally set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, many task orders were not explicitly designated with a set-aside. The work primarily occurs at USDA facilities in Washington, D.C., including the South Building, Whitten Building, and various office suites, with occasional work at the George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville. Typical scope includes carpet replacement, wall and ceiling renovations, electrical upgrades, painting, asbestos abatement, and minor structural modifications to support the agency's evolving administrative needs.
