GSA's Public Buildings Service plans a multiple-award IDIQ (a contract that lets agencies place task orders later) for general construction in the D.C. metro area, set aside for small businesses. It runs 1 base year plus 4 option years, with a $500 million ceiling across all awardees and task orders from $350,000 to $10 million. Proposals are due October 29, 2026.
Watch out for
- High bonding requirement. A $10M per-project bonding capacity is a hard pass/fail and can be difficult for a smaller firm to obtain.
Evidence of Bonding Capacity: Go/No Go. (Minimum- $10M per project)
- Sensitive and high-security work. Scope includes SCIFs, labs and data centers, which can require clearances and special security procedures.
- Competition for task orders. About 18 awardees will compete for each task order, so winning the IDIQ does not guarantee work.
The government intends to award approximately eighteen (18) contracts
- Pre-proposal conference already held. The virtual conference was on October 6, 2026 and registration closed October 5; responses to questions are in the amendments.
