About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Global Acquisitions, Acquisitions Management (GA/AM), is soliciting Stage 1 qualifications for potentially eight or more multiple-award IDIQ contracts for worldwide architectural and engineering support, with submissions due November 27, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern under Amendments A02 through A04, which supersede the November 10 date in the notice header. GA/AM is procuring on behalf of the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO). Offerors must be eligible as U.S. Persons under the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 and must possess or be eligible to obtain a DCSA Secret Facility Clearance.
The notice is a Partial Small Business set-aside under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) with a $25.5 million size standard; PSC is C219. Listed place of performance is Arlington, Virginia 22209, while work is performed at various worldwide Foreign Service posts and OBO offices in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Scope covers planning, design, construction, facility rehabilitation, system replacement, physical and technical security upgrades, communications facilities (information management and emanation security systems), and building maintenance.
Each contract consists of a one-year base period and nine one-year options. The Government guarantees a minimum of $10,000 in task orders over the contract life, with a maximum of $100 million per contract. Orders are not expected to exceed $10 million per year. Uncleared firms may be sponsored and have 180 days from short-list notification to obtain clearance, and the Government will not delay awards for firms already holding Secret facility clearances. Hmm, avoid "may".
Stage 1 requires a PDF portfolio of up to 67 pages with bookmarks, plus a separate U.S. Person Statement of Qualifications. Components are a two-page cover letter, SF 330 Part II for the prime only, a nine-page leadership narrative (20 points), a 25-page technical and engineering innovation section covering up to five projects completed within ten years (30 points), and 20 to 30 pages of core team lead profiles for ten disciplines (50 points). Qualifying projects are valued $400,000 to $2,000,000 per the Statement of Qualifications. Selection follows the Brooks Act across three stages: Stage 1 short-listing, Stage 2 detailed submissions and presentations, and Stage 3 price proposals and award. The clarification deadline was October 26, 2026, and the October 27 Q&A document confirms IDIQ contracts cannot serve as portfolio examples, though task orders performed under them can.
