Notice Type: Construction services under FAR Part 36 as a Simplified Acquisition under FAR Part 13. All responsible sources may submit an offer.

Contractor provides all labor, materials, supervision, project management, and construction services per applicable codes and safety standards — site evaluation, product recommendations, furnishing materials, delivery/site prep/demolition/installation, waste disposal coordination with NIH DEP (dumpsters via PO), daily cleanup and cleanup before turnover, and warranty. Installed surfacing meets ASTM F1292, F1951, F2479 and ADA/ABA play-surface accessibility.
\n\nSpecifications:
\n\nSite Visit: September 23, 2026, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM ET at Building 23. Encouraged, not mandatory; coordinate campus access in advance with the Requesting Office POC; no separate site-condition info provided to non-attendees.

\n\nPeriod of Performance: Single mobilization; all work (submittal/approval, delivery, site prep, demolition, installation, cure, cleanup, turnover) complete no later than 90 calendar days ARO / NTP. Weather delays handled under the construction clauses.
\n\nBasis for Award: Best value / tradeoff. Government may award to other than lowest price if the premium is justified. Factors: (1) Technical Approach/Product; (2) Relevant Experience/Past Performance; (3) Price. Non-price factors combined are more important than price; as proposals equalize on non-price, price gains weight.
