## Description

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) intends to issue a Request for Proposals for the award of a single firm-fixed-price construction contract for a design-bid-build project to establish a turnkey U.S. Passport Office for the U.S. Department of State at thevWallace F. Bennett Federal Building in Salt Lake City, Utah. This notice is issued for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation. Project Description The project includes approximately 48,000 square feet of construction consisting of:

A new 30,000-square-foot U.S. Passport Office; Tenant improvements to relocate five existing tenant agencies; Modifications to space occupied by a sixth tenant agency (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) to accommodate new ABAAS-compliant restrooms; and Renovation of the building lobby, including security screening enhancements. A seventh tenant agency will relocate under a separate construction contract.

While outside the scope of this procurement, coordination with that effort will be required due to project sequencing. Because the Bennett Federal Building will remain fully occupied throughout construction, the contractor will be required to execute the work in coordinated phases to maintain public access, continuous security screening operations, building functionality, and ongoing tenant operations while minimizing disruptions.

Procurement Information GSA intends to conduct a competitive negotiated procurement under FAR Part 15 and award a single firm-fixed-price construction contract using a best value tradeoff selection approach. This procurement will be solicited as full and open competition under NAICS 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. GSA anticipates an estimated construction value of approximately $20 to $30 million.

Evaluation Factors Past Experience of the General Contractor (30%) Past Performance of the General Contractor (25%) Technical and Management Approach (20%) Key Personnel Qualifications (15%) Small Business Participation Plan (10%) Firm-Fixed-Price Solicitation Information GSA anticipates issuing the Request for Proposals by September 30, 2026.

Interested parties are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov for updates, amendments and additional information related to this procurement.
