The comprehensive contract encompasses project management, interior design, space planning, concept of operations development, acquisition planning, relocation services, staff training, and activation support for a new 60,615 net usable square foot medical facility with 450 parking spaces. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating the complete transition from the existing clinic at Beaufort Naval Hospital to the new facility, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment procurement, move planning, and ensuring operational readiness for the first day of clinical services. Proposals are due by September 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, following multiple amendments that extended the original deadline and revised pricing worksheets. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis, with evaluation criteria focusing on technical submissions, past performance, key personnel qualifications, and pricing worksheets.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with no incumbent contractor identified in the documentation. The contract performance period spans from October 20, 2025, through December 1, 2028, with the primary objective of supporting clinic activation by October 2028 when clinical services are projected to begin. Based on the pricing worksheet examples, the base IOTA services are estimated at approximately $273,375 for 1,300 total labor hours across four contract periods, with optional warehousing services available as an additional task. The work will be performed primarily in Beaufort, South Carolina, with the current clinic located at 1 Pinckney Boulevard, Beaufort Naval Hospital, while the new facility's specific address has not yet been determined. Travel costs will be reimbursed separately on a cost-reimbursable basis and are not included in the base contract pricing structure.
