Banners for Mary E. Switzer Federal Building

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration is seeking the production, delivery, and installation of two graphic banners for display on the exterior of the Mary E. Switzer Federal Building in Washington, DC. The banners will measure 6 feet 9 1/4 inches wide by 11 feet tall and must be designed to withstand exterior conditions while maintaining image quality for a minimum of four years. Evaluation of proposals will utilize a trade-off process that prioritizes technical merit significantly over price, with assessment based on three key factors: the contractor's experience and ability to produce, deliver, and install the banners; the plan demonstrating availability and capability to meet the aggressive deadline; and documented proof of bonding and licensing. The proposal submission deadline is November 4, 2025 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with a planned delivery and installation date of November 14, 2025, leaving contractors with only ten days to complete the project following award.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541850 (Indoor and Outdoor Display Advertising), with a small business size standard of $35.4 million. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information has been identified in the solicitation. While no committed funding is currently available, the government anticipates funds will become available to support contract execution. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price agreement, though specific award values or budget ranges have not been disclosed in the available documentation. The place of performance is located at 300 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20201, and the exceptionally tight timeline from award to installation represents a critical requirement for interested small businesses to evaluate before proposal submission.
