Construction And Building Material

PSC Category 56-P (Construction and Building Material) encompasses a diverse range of procurement activities focused on construction-related materials and supplies. This category primarily involves the acquisition of mineral-based construction materials, aggregates, roofing components, and other essential building supplies used in infrastructure, maintenance, and development projects. The materials typically include gravel, crushed stone, concrete, topsoil, insulation, and other fundamental construction components required by federal agencies for various infrastructure and facility maintenance initiatives.

Recent federal contract awards in this category demonstrate a consistent pattern of small business set-aside contracts, primarily targeting infrastructure and facility maintenance projects. The awards range from $25,000 to $500,000, with performance periods typically spanning several months to a year. Funding agencies include the Department of the Interior, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Army, and the National Park Service. Common contract types are firm-fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Frequent set-aside types include total small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and total small business designations, with performance locations spread across various states including Oregon, California, New Mexico, Washington, and Louisiana.

The recent federal contract opportunities in PSC Category 56-P reveal a wide array of material procurement needs across multiple federal agencies.
