The work includes selective demolition, architectural modifications, HVAC system upgrades, electrical rewiring, lighting improvements, flooring installation, painting, fire sprinkler modifications, and access control system updates. The Bureau will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process to select the winning contractor.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) with a size standard of $45 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be a firm fixed-price, single award arrangement with specific phased construction requirements, where the MPR Suite construction must be completed by November 14, 2025, and the NICC construction cannot begin until November 3, 2025, with completion required by April 17, 2026. The overall construction period spans from June 15, 2025, to March 31, 2026, with the winning contractor required to perform at least 15% of the work with its own employees.
