The procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside, issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR Part 12 for commercial services, with RFP 15DDHQ27R00000001 as the only solicitation and no separate written solicitation to follow.

Gating dates are a mandatory site visit on November 17, 2026, at 9:00 AM CST, a facility access request form due November 12, 2026, at 1:00 PM CST, and written questions due November 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT. Proposals are submitted by email to Jose Marin at Jose.L.Marin@dea.gov.

The scope is a comprehensive Building Condition Assessment and Engineering Report for a 155,238-square-foot facility with hangar and office space, an unattached pump house, and a guard shack on approximately 12.3 acres. Services include pre-inspection meetings, inspections of roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, life safety, elevators, ADA accessibility, structural systems, and hazardous conditions, digital photography, and a BER with cost estimates prioritized from 1 to 5 by building system category. Notice-to-proceed is expected December 13, 2026, with a one-year period of performance through December 12, 2027.

Key personnel must meet specified experience requirements. The Project Manager requires five or more years managing 200,000-plus square-foot projects, and a licensed Project Architect with a professional architecture degree is mandatory. Priced labor totals 516 hours: Project Manager (104), Project Architect (32), Civil Engineer (66), Structural Engineer (64), Mechanical Engineer (94), Fire Protection Engineer (62), and Electrical Engineer (94). Additional line items are Contract BER Services (1 EA), Additional Consultant/Elevator Services (1 EA), and Travel/Reimbursable Items (1 EA).

Per the RFP file summary, all contractor personnel require security clearance and background checks. Attachment I, the Facility Access Request Form, collects visitor identification data, including Social Security number, and authorizes NADDIS, NCIC, and NLETS queries. A facility employee must submit it at least 24 hours in advance, and approved access is valid for six months.

Technical proposals (Factors 1–3) are evaluated separately from business proposals (Factor 4, price). Technical capability, key personnel qualifications, and past performance are weighted significantly more important than price.
