About this forecast

The Department of Agriculture is soliciting for construction services to implement a lighting system upgrade for Building 7 at its facility in Ames, Iowa. This project involves installing a new lighting design that was completed in 2024 to replace the current system, which no longer meets the operational needs of animal care staff and fails to comply with the Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching. The new system will provide enhanced flexibility and control over lighting levels to support animal research requirements and staff management needs. The solicitation is scheduled for release on August 7, 2026, with an estimated award date of June 30, 2026.

The estimated contract award value ranges from $2,000,000 to $4,900,000 under a firm fixed-price definitive contract structure. This is a full and open competition opportunity under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) with no set-aside provisions. The work will be performed in Ames, Iowa, and inquiries should be directed to Nicole McKenzie, Contracting Officer at the United States Department of Agriculture, at nicole.mckenzie@usda.gov.

Forecast text

A lighting design was completed in 2024 for building 7 lighting. This study was initiated because the lighting system no longer meets the needs and requirements of the animal care staff in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching. The system lacks the ability and flexibility to control lighting level amounts/requirements for animal research and animal care staff management needs. Construction is needed to implement the outcome of the lighting study.
