Birmingham Southern Appraisal

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 10 is seeking appraisal services to determine the fair market value of the former Birmingham-Southern College campus in Birmingham, Alabama. The procurement requires a comprehensive property appraisal of the 192-acre campus containing 60 buildings totaling approximately 1,182,000 square feet of instructional, administrative, residential, and athletic facilities. The contractor must provide two distinct value estimates: the "as is" fair market value of the fee simple estate and the value of the underlying vacant land, with analysis determining the highest and best use of the property. The appraisal must conform to 2024 USPAP standards and employ cost, sales comparison, and income approaches to valuation, with the senior appraiser required to be a state-certified general real property appraiser with at least five years of specialized experience in similar complex properties. The government will award this firm fixed-price contract using simplified acquisition procedures to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Questions are due by August 19, 2025, with quote submissions required by August 21, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with no incumbent contractor being replaced. While specific award values are not disclosed in the solicitation, the contract establishes a contemplated performance period from September 1, 2025, to October 15, 2025. The statement of work requires a kickoff meeting within two weeks of contract award, property inspection within 20 days, draft report submission within 45 days, and final report delivery no later than 65 days from the Notice to Proceed. All work will be performed at the Birmingham-Southern College campus located in Birmingham, Alabama 35254. The GSA Asset Management and Valuation Division will use the appraisal results to make informed decisions regarding potential acquisition, disposal, management, or operation of the property within the GSA portfolio. All offerors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award consideration.
