Interested contractors must demonstrate experience managing construction contracts of similar size and scope, hold all necessary professional licenses and certifications for Virginia and the United States, maintain active registration in the SAM database, and if applicable, be registered in the VetCert database for service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOSB) or veteran-owned small business (VOSB) firms.

Interested parties should note that this is market research only and responses are not binding offers; the Government reserves the right to revise specifications before releasing the formal solicitation.

This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation and identifies no incumbent contractors. The estimated construction magnitude ranges between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, making this a significant federal construction project. Responses should include firm point of contact information, firm name, SAM UEI and address, applicable socioeconomic status (VOSB, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other designations), and a summary of up to five recently completed construction contracts of similar size and scope.
