NIFC 100-ADM Repairs

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office is seeking construction services for repairs and renovations to the NIFC 100-Administration Building located at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive basement and first-floor renovations to this 22,262-square-foot, three-story structure, including asbestos abatement, selective demolition, new interior wall systems, HVAC installation utilizing variable refrigerant flow technology, fire protection modifications, electrical and plumbing system upgrades, and the addition of two external stair towers. Key contract requirements include compliance with 2024 International Building Code standards, submission of detailed working plans by NICET Level III/IV technicians or registered professional engineers, NEBB-certified testing and balancing of HVAC systems, and coordination with continuous building occupancy requiring minimum 72-hour advance notice for disruptive activities. This is a pre-solicitation notice with an Industry Day scheduled for February 19, 2026, at 1:00 PM MT at the NIFC facility, which serves as a market research event to assess vendor capabilities and gather information for acquisition strategy development; no evaluation criteria have been disclosed at this stage, as proposals are not yet being requested.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and no incumbent contractors or award values are disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The project is funded through GSA GAOA appropriations with scheduled completion targeted for FY 2022, though the current status indicates this is a design development phase at 95% completion. The building renovation will accommodate 294-364 occupants depending on the final bid configuration, and contractors will be responsible for coordinating among multiple trades to resolve all mechanical, electrical, and structural system interferences at no additional cost to the Government. Participation in the Industry Day is voluntary, with RSVPs strongly encouraged to Contracting Officer Nathan Roush at nroush@blm.gov; interested parties should review the draft specifications and drawing package in preparation for the February 19 event.
