About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to execute a Sole Source Award under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures for appraisal services in San Antonio, Texas. The intended contractor is Dugger Grafe Swanson, a local real estate appraisal firm located in San Antonio. The procurement involves conducting four appraisals to estimate fair market rent for four individual buildings at a specialized, high-security facility. USACE has determined that the current contractor is best positioned to complete these appraisals due to their prior familiarity with the site, existing security clearance, and extensive market research. The NOI was published on May 23, 2025, with a response deadline of June 6, 2025.
The primary objective of this NOI is to efficiently obtain appraisal services while minimizing security risks and reducing project timeline and costs. USACE anticipates saving 60 to 90 days and over $20,000 by using the incumbent contractor who already possesses sensitive site information and security clearance. The procurement will follow commercial item procedures under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, specifically allowing the Contracting Officer to solicit from a single source. Eligible contractors responding to the notice must provide clear and compelling evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The award will be a Firm Fixed Price contract under the NAICS code 531320 (Office of Real Estate Appraisers), with a small business size standard of $9.5 million. Interested parties must submit responses to Nicholas Johnston and Lindsay Chvilicek by close of business on June 6, 2025, understanding that this notice is for informational purposes and does not guarantee a competitive procurement process.

This requirement will be used to provide four appraisals to conclude an estimate of fair market rent for four individual buildings located San Antonio.
The current request is for four new appraisals to conclude an estimate of fair market rent for four of the individual buildings at the subject campus. The subject facility is very specialized meeting federal high security requirements, and the appraisers selected for the last contract had to gather a significant amount of specialized market information. The contractor for the prior appraisal has already toured the faculty and been given confidential information such as redacted specs, drawings, photos, and floorplans. They are currently cleared for this space and have completed all security checks. They have already researched the market and produced a market value appraisal with supplemental market rental value conclusions. They are also located in the same market as the facility to be appraised. It would take the original contractor significantly less time and expense to complete the requested appraisals than starting with a new contractor. It is expected that this will save 60 to 90 days and over $20 thousand dollars. Due to the need delays in obtaining security clearance would jeopardize the project. The appraisal is just the first step in the final lease which much be completed by the end of the fiscal year. It would be in the best interest of the government to have the same contractor complete the appraisals for this action as they could provide the required services more efficiently and more cost effectively than other contractors given the prior experience and would decrease the risk of an information breach by not requiring that sensitive material be distributed to additional sources.
