The Federal Bureau of Prisons at FMC Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts wants a contractor to replace three boiler burners under a firm-fixed-price construction contract.

Watch out for
- Secure documents need MPIN and matching NAICS. The solicitation is locked, so a firm without the right SAM registration, NAICS code and MPIN could be delayed or blocked from seeing the requirements.
All secure/locked documents upload, to include the solicitation will require an active SAM vendor registration to obtain access.
- Mid-size construction job. The estimated range is $1M to $3M, which may call for bonding, insurance and construction experience; the notice text does not say which are required.
The estimated magnitude of the project is between $1,000,000.00 and $3,000,000.00.
- Site visit already held. The site visit was scheduled for 9/24/2026 and is not mandatory, but it appears to have passed, so you would need to ask the contracting office about site access questions.
Attendance is not mandatory but highly advised.
- Deadline time zone differs. The text says 1pm CST while the deadline field is 1:00 PM at UTC-05:00; confirm the exact cutoff with the contracting officer.
no later than October 12, 2026 at 1pm CST
