Peintures Batiment Services

Peintures Batiment Services, doing business as PBS, a French sole proprietorship headquartered in Nanterre, France, provides interior and exterior painting, make-ready preparation, flooring, and facilities maintenance services to the Department of State as a prime contractor on five indefinite delivery contracts, operating exclusively within the State Department's European footprint with no set-aside designations. PBS competes full-and-open in the federal marketplace and carries no SBA certifications.

PBS operates almost entirely within the State Department's European bureaus. The top five customers account for 98% of combined potential value across 194 total awards: the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs dominates the footprint with 112 awards totaling $2.2 million combined potential value, followed by U.S. Embassy Paris (3 awards, $1.8 million), the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (52 awards, $805 thousand), the Bureau of Human Resources (11 awards, $100 thousand), and the Bureau of Consular Affairs (6 awards, $54 thousand). The ranking by award count and by potential value diverges notably — Embassy Paris places far fewer orders but anchors higher dollar values, while EURAF's volume drives its leadership position. PBS also holds minor exposure to the Department of Energy, U.S. Marine Corps, and Air Force through small delivery orders.

PBS anchors its federal work on five State Department indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 19FR6318D0005 has generated 77 task orders totaling $842 thousand in combined potential value; IDC 19FR6321D0031 carries 46 task orders worth $582 thousand; IDC SFR63015D0014 holds 29 task orders worth $252 thousand; and three subordinate vehicles (SFR63017D0019, SFR63017D0009) carry 14 additional task orders worth $74 thousand combined. Recent representative work includes a $17.1 thousand delivery order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs for painting and maintenance at a Gironde facility (August 2026), a $19.6 thousand order for make-ready and painting from the same bureau (July 2026), and a $16.3 thousand order for make-ready painting and maintenance with completion through December 2026 (June 2026). Task orders typically range from $2.6 thousand to $17 thousand and are firm fixed price with periods of performance of several months.

Activity has contracted in recent years — 17 awards in 2022, declining to 4 awards in 2024, with 9 awards in 2025 and 5 as of August 2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $5.1 million with $2.3 million obligated (45% obligation rate). Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $16 thousand in potential value, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. PBS's work is characterized by NAICS 561720 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors) for 151 of 194 awards and PSC J301 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment — Brushes, Paints, Sealers, and Adhesives) for 95 awards, with secondary exposure in flooring (34 awards under NAICS 561730) and facility operations (PSC R403, 43 awards). PBS maintains SAM.gov registration since October 2016 and operates as a micro-vendor serving exclusively overseas diplomatic and government facilities in France.
