This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The estimated construction cost ranges between $25,000 and $100,000, categorized as a small construction project under FAR 36.204. The contractor must begin work within 14 calendar days of award and complete the project within 35 calendar days, with work potentially scheduled for either Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 depending on conditions.
