Worldwide FEBR Design-Build IDIQ

The Worldwide Forced Entry Ballistic Resistant (FEBR) Design-Build Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a master contract awarded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) for the procurement, shipment, and installation of security-enhanced doors, windows, elevations, and glazing panels at U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide. This contract vehicle enables the State Department to rapidly replace or upgrade critical security infrastructure at embassies and consulates, focusing on forced entry and ballistic resistant (FE/BR) products. The IDIQ allows for multiple prime contractors to receive task orders for design-build and renovation projects that enhance the physical security of diplomatic facilities.

The task orders under this contract consistently involve the replacement and repair of forced entry ballistic resistant (FEBR) products, with contract values typically ranging from $500,000 to $4,000,000 and performance periods of 18-24 months. Key prime contractors include Edifice LLC, Hardline Nati Construction LLC (HNC), International Construction Services (ICS), and Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, with most being small businesses or minority-owned firms. The task orders have been awarded for locations across the globe, including countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, with set-aside designations frequently including small business, 8(a), HUBZone, and total small business categories. Most task orders are firm fixed-price delivery orders focused on installing specific quantities of FEBR doors, windows, elevations, and glazing panels, demonstrating a standardized approach to upgrading security infrastructure at U.S. diplomatic posts.
