Peintures Batiment Services

Peintures Batiment Services, doing business as PBS, a for-profit sole proprietorship headquartered in Nanterre, France, delivers interior and exterior painting, make-ready preparation, flooring, and facilities maintenance services to U.S. federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of awards), competing without set-aside designations in open federal procurement.

PBS operates almost exclusively within the State Department's European footprint. The top five customer agencies account for 95% of recent awards, dominated overwhelmingly by the Department of State Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (109 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value) and the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (52 awards, $805 thousand). Three awards through the U.S. Embassy Paris carry $1.8 million in combined potential value, suggesting larger discrete facility projects. The Bureau of Human Resources, Bureau of Consular Affairs, and Bureau of Diplomatic Security round out the active set with smaller volumes. Cross-customer work is minimal—State Department bureaus collectively account for 98% of combined potential value. PBS also holds sporadic work with the Department of Energy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force, all routed through State Department vehicle management.

PBS anchors its federal footprint on five indefinite delivery contracts issued by the State Department. The largest, contract 19FR6318D0005, has generated 77 task orders worth $842 thousand in combined potential value. Contract 19FR6321D0031 carries 43 task orders ($529 thousand); contract SFR63015D0014 carries 29 task orders ($252 thousand); and two smaller vehicles (SFR63017D0019 and SFR63017D0009) together account for 14 task orders and $74 thousand. Delivery orders and purchase orders under these vehicles typically range from $2,600 to $17,000 in ceiling value, with firm fixed-price structures and completion dates clustering in fiscal-year-end windows (June through September). Representative work includes a $16,946.70 delivery order from the U.S. Embassy Paris (April 2026) for make-ready painting and maintenance supporting diplomatic operations; a $13,975.73 order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (January 2026) for painting services; and a $37,892.08 purchase order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (August 2021) for supply and installation of four kitchens.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. PBS executed 17 awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, only 4 in 2024, rebounded to 9 in 2025, and 2 in 2026. Combined potential value across the entire 191-award portfolio stands at $5 million, with $2.3 million obligated (45% realization rate). Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $31 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure or contract renewal urgency. PBS maintains SAM.gov registration since October 2016 and operates as a micro-vendor with a narrow geographic and service focus—all work performed in France in support of U.S. facilities abroad. The vendor holds no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or GSA schedules; work is sourced entirely through State Department regional delivery orders and purchase orders, making PBS a location-dependent service provider for U.S. government real property maintenance in Western Europe rather than a scalable federal contractor platform.
