About this opportunity
The District of Columbia Department of General Services is issuing an RFQ to establish a pre-qualified contractor roster for construction projects serving DCPS, the Department of Park and Recreation, and municipal facilities during fiscal years 2027–2032, with SOQs due August 21, 2026. This RFQ is set-aside exclusively for contractors certified as Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) by the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development.
The scope encompasses building repairs, upgrades, and tenant-fit-out improvements including patching, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, electrical, HVAC, elevator work, and small park and playground projects across District properties. All offerors must hold applicable licenses from the District's Department of Building and comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determinations, the Living Wage Act of 2006 (currently $18.40 per hour effective July 1, 2026), and First Source Employment requirements mandating 51% District resident hiring for contracts exceeding $300,000. For contracts exceeding $250,000, contractors must subcontract at least 35% of contract value to SBEs or other certified business enterprises. Selected contractors will enter into a Blanket Order Agreement establishing general terms; individual task orders will be competitively awarded among pre-qualified firms. The BOA establishes a base year with four optional one-year extensions, a non-guaranteed minimum of $50 per year, and an aggregate maximum of $25 million per year. Contractors must maintain a central office staffed 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, available for after-hours, weekend, and holiday work as required.
Evaluation criteria are: Past Performance, Experience & References (25 points); Key Personnel (25 points); Project Management Plan (25 points); Capacity (25 points); and CBE Preference (up to 12 points). A minimum qualifying score of 70 points is required for award. A Project Information Meeting is scheduled July 28, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Questions are due July 31, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. All SOQs must include tax affidavits, EEO certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and SBE subcontracting plans.
Opportunity text
The District of Columbia (the "District") Department of General Services ("the "Department" or "DGS") is issuing this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") to solicit Statements of Qualifications ("SOQs") from offerors ("Offerors") interested in performing construction projects for the District of Columbia Public Schools ("DCPS"), Department of Park and Recreation ("DPR"), and municipal facilities (collectively, "Project Locations") during the 2027-2032 fiscal years. These construction projects may include building repairs, upgrades, and tenant-fit-out improvements including, but not limited to, patching and plumbing, carpentry, masonry, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ("HVAC"), elevators as well as small park and playground type projects as may be necessary at DCPS, DPR, and municipal sites.
The goal of this RFQ is to establish a list of pre-qualified contractors to compete for construction projects as may be requested for projects across the Department's portfolio of properties. Each such contractor will be required to enter into a BOA that will set forth the general terms and conditions of the process as well as establish the method by which Task Order Agreements for specific work will be competed and awarded.
An Offeror's SOQ must meet all requirements established by this RFQ and all Offerors must hold the applicable license requirements as determined by the District's Department of Building ("DOB"). Failure to meet an RFQ requirement may render an Offeror's SOQ non-responsive.
