About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a design-build contractor for the modernization and expansion of the Central Utility Plant (CUP) at its Gaithersburg, Maryland campus through a two-phase procurement process. The project encompasses the renovation and modernization of aging utility infrastructure, including steam generation systems, chilled water systems, electrical systems, and compressed air systems, with an estimated Phase 1 construction cost of $56 million. The solicitation is for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Single Award Task Order Contract with a performance period of 10 years and 6 months, and Phase I submissions must demonstrate bonding capacity of at least $575.2 million, along with a comprehensive design-build approach and technical qualifications. Key evaluation criteria include technical solution, project team composition, small business participation, project labor agreement compliance, and price, with non-price factors weighted significantly more heavily than cost. The Phase I response deadline has been extended to 1:00 PM ET on January 28, 2026, with a 60-page maximum for the proposal, and up to three of the most highly qualified contractors will be selected to proceed to Phase II, where unsuccessful offerors will receive a $280,000 stipend.
This procurement includes no set-aside designation and has not identified any incumbent contractors in the available documentation. The estimated award value for the overall contract is substantial, with the Phase 1 work alone budgeted at approximately $56 million, and the contract structure allows for additional task orders throughout the 10-year and 6-month performance period. The project will be performed at the NIST Gaithersburg campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where contractors must comply with extensive site-specific requirements including security protocols, environmental standards, and historic preservation guidelines, as the campus is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Phase II will involve a detailed technical and price proposal submission from the selected finalists, along with one-on-one interviews with government representatives. Contractors must also demonstrate cybersecurity compliance with NIST Special Publication 800-53 LOW BASELINE requirements and achieve LEED Silver certification for the project.
