This is a firm-fixed-price contract to be awarded under simplified acquisition procedures, with quotes evaluated solely on price. The project must be completed within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with work conducted Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with Davis-Bacon wage requirements. The solicitation deadline for quote submission is January 27, 2026, at 10:00 EDT.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with no current incumbent or contractor identified. The total project magnitude is below $25,000, with the small business size standard set at $45 million for NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors). Contractors are required to comply with limitations on subcontracting, specifically not paying more than 75% of the contract amount to non-SDVOSB firms for special trade construction work.
