Install Pedestrian Gate, USBP Swanton Sector HQ

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 1 is seeking a small business contractor to install a new pedestrian gate at the Swanton Vermont Border Patrol Headquarters. The project involves integrating the gate into an existing chain link fence adjacent to an automated vehicle gate, enabling proper egress from the fenced area behind the main building. The solicitation package is expected to be posted on April 29, 2025, with a proposal due date of May 20, 2025. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in specialty trade contracting, specifically in repair and alteration of office buildings, as indicated by the NAICS code 238990 for "All Other Specialty Trade Contractors". While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors can expect standard technical and compliance assessments typical of federal construction projects.

The contract opportunity is 100% set aside for small businesses, with an estimated contract value between $25,000 and $100,000. The procurement falls under the PSC category Z2AA for "Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings", suggesting a focused scope of work centered on gate installation and potential associated infrastructure modifications. The federal agency's Region 1 jurisdiction suggests the work will be performed in Vermont, specifically at the U.S. Border Patrol Swanton Sector Headquarters. Interested small businesses should carefully review the forthcoming solicitation package to understand the precise technical specifications, installation requirements, and compliance standards for the pedestrian gate project. Potential contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their capabilities in gate installation, familiarity with federal facility security requirements, and ability to complete the project within the specified budget range.
