The FBI is doing market research (a sources sought, not a solicitation) for a possible design-build project to improve a firearms range in the Irvine, California area (El Toro). Work includes restrooms, erosion control, a concrete firing pad, electrical upgrades and about 30,000 square yards of asphalt repair, with an estimated size of $1 to $5 million. Capability statements are due October 22, 2026.
Watch out for
- Design-build with many different trades. You must design and build electrical, civil, paving, plumbing, water and concrete work in one package, so a small firm needs strong subcontractors or an in-house design team.

- U.S. citizens only on staff. Everyone working on this FBI site must meet FBI security requirements, which limits who you can use, including subcontractors.
Availability of personnel capable of meeting FBI security requirements (US Citizens only)
- No set-aside decided. Large businesses can respond too, so small firms may compete against larger ones.
The Government is seeking responses from both small and large business concerns.
- Bonding needed. A $1 to $5 million construction job usually requires surety bonding, and you must show it in your response.
The estimated magnitude is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
