GSA's Public Buildings Service wants a multiple-award IDIQ (a pool of contractors that compete for task orders) for general construction and design-build work on federal buildings across four zones of New York and northern New Jersey. It is a total small business set-aside with about 25 awards, a 5-year term and a $500,000,000 ceiling. Offers are due October 28, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern.
Watch out for
- Performance and payment bonds at 100% of each task order. Every task order requires SF-25 and SF-25A bonds for the full order value, which needs strong bonding capacity and cash.
The Offeror shall submit a SF-25 (performance bond) and SF-25A (payment bond) at 100% the awarded Task Order obligated value.
- Large bonding capacity needed up front. You must prove you can get $10M single-project and $20M aggregate bonds just to compete at the IDIQ level.
- No guaranteed work. Awardees compete against each other for each task order, and the Government may make more, fewer or no awards.
the Government reserves the right to make more, fewer, or no awards
- Many competitors. Around 25 awards are planned across four zones, and Zone 1 in the NYC area is likely to be crowded.
- Technical rating drives award. Award goes to the highest technically rated offers with a fair price, so price alone will not win and proposal quality matters.
- Solicitation was just amended. Amendment 0001 was issued 7 October 2026, and you must get and acknowledge all amendments before the deadline.
