This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for a USDA-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service construction project at the Forest Pest Management Lab on Joint Base Cape Cod in Buzzards Bay, MA.

The solicitation is set aside for small businesses, with a project value between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and falls under NAICS code 236220 with a $45 million small business size standard.
