Quality Control- Construction And Building Materials

PSC Category H156 covers quality control and inspection services specifically focused on construction and building materials. This category encompasses professional assessment, testing, and verification services related to construction projects, infrastructure development, and facility maintenance. The services typically involve evaluating the technical standards, performance, and compliance of materials, equipment, and construction processes to ensure they meet specified requirements and regulatory standards.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category are predominantly housing inspection services for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), particularly for disaster recovery efforts. Two primary contractors, Vanguard Inspection Services and WSP USA Inspection Services, have been awarded multiple delivery orders with values ranging from approximately $200,000 to $31.7 million. These contracts support FEMA's Individual Assistance Program by conducting residential property damage assessments following natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and severe storms across multiple states. The contracts are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders with performance periods ranging from a few months to over a year, and are not generally set aside for small businesses.

The only federal contract opportunity posted under this PSC category is a FEMA solicitation for quality assurance services for foundation installation in Alaska. The solicitation is unrestricted and will use a reverse auction pricing method through the Unison Marketplace platform. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 237130 and seeks qualified sellers to provide quality assurance services, with the place of performance listed as Joplin, Missouri. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or performance period, and invites interested vendors to submit questions through the Unison Marketplace website.
