The building is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as reference no. 14000557. The anticipated award will be a base contract. The estimated cost is between $1,00,000 and $5,000,000. All qualified Small Businesses are encouraged to respond. The Government will not pay for any information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation.

One of the main purposes of this Sources Sought Notice is to assist the Contracting Officer in determining if a Set-Aside is the acceptable strategy for the procurement. The Government anticipates a contract award for these services in September 2024. The appropriate NAICS Code is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a size standard of $45,000,000.00.

Any commercial brochures or currently existing marketing material may also be submitted with the capabilities package.

Submission of a capabilities package is not a prerequisite to any potential future offerings, but participation will assist the GSA in tailoring its requirements to be consistent with industry standards.

Questions regarding this notice may be addressed to Contracting Specialist, Kevin McLaughlin, kevin.mclaughlin@gsa.gov and Contracting Officer, Molly A. Lewis, molly.lewis@gsa.gov.
