About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, is conducting market research on behalf of the USDA and NC State University to identify potential contractors for a Plant Improvement Facility (PIF) in Southwest Raleigh, North Carolina, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026.
The project scope includes constructing a 45,000 square foot laboratory/office/seed processing building and 6,500 square feet of greenhouse/headhouse facilities on a 12.5-acre leased site, with an optional 6,000 square foot equipment storage and shop building. Pre-engineered metal building construction with steel frames and metal cladding will be used for processing structures; support facilities will employ CMU construction with PVC roofing. The estimated construction cost ranges from $25,000,000 to $35,000,000.
NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) applies. No set-aside is anticipated.
The Corps requires respondents to demonstrate three recent comparable projects valued at $18,000,000 or greater within the past six years with minimum 30,000 square feet as prime contractor or joint venture member. Respondents must also document current SAM registration, bonding capacity from surety companies, business size classification (including small business, HUBZone, 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, disadvantaged, or woman-owned status if applicable), and in-house design/construction capacity or established design firm relationships. Teaming arrangements must include clear role delineation and socio-economic status verification.
