About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking Design-Build Construction Services to modernize Building 245, a Radiological Research Laboratory located on its Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. The project involves comprehensive renovation of the A-Wing and B-Wing, spanning approximately 122,000 gross square feet of laboratory space, with critical infrastructure upgrades including electrical systems, HVAC distribution, waterproofing, and fire alarm system improvements. Interested contractors must submit a four-page capability statement electronically by May 20, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, with key evaluation criteria focusing on demonstrating bonding capacity, past performance in laboratory renovation, experience with occupied laboratory modernization, and radiological contamination handling capabilities. Contractors will be assessed on their ability to manage design-build services using government-furnished initial design documents, with a specific focus on firms matching NAICS Code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The procurement will be conducted as an unrestricted Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year performance period.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity, making it open to all qualified contractors. The potential contract has a substantial financial scope, with bonding capacity requirements of up to $150 million per contract and $300 million in aggregate bonding. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly named, the project represents a significant modernization effort with a comprehensive five-year timeline for completion. The total project value is not precisely specified, but the infrastructure upgrades and laboratory renovation suggest a high-value contract potentially ranging in the tens of millions of dollars. Contractors will need to demonstrate substantial technical and financial capabilities to be competitive, with a specific emphasis on experience in complex laboratory renovation projects involving specialized research environments.
