- Performance and payment bonds, each for 100 percent of the contract price, unless the contract price is $150,000 or less. The stated size ($250,000 to $500,000) is above that.
- Certificate of insurance within 15 calendar days after award: general liability $500,000 per occurrence, automobile liability, workers' compensation and employer's liability ($100,000).
- A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) with 3+ years of safety work on similar projects, a 30-hour OSHA construction class (or equivalent) in the last 5 years, and an average of 24 hours of formal safety training each year for 5 years. Must be on site during all construction and cannot be the superintendent.
- A Quality Control Manager (the superintendent may fill this role) holding NAVFAC Contractor Quality Management (CQM) training, and a QC plan.
- All workers must be U.S. citizens or documented legal residents and obtain base badges (DIBDS); allow 10 calendar days for background checks.
- A usable Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) record, since SPRS risk assessments are an evaluation factor.
- Obtain all licenses and permits needed for the work at your own cost and submit a Permits Record of Decision (PROD) form within 21 days after award. The documents do not name a specific trade license.
How to submit: due Oct 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific time (15:00 -07:00). The notice says the Government may shorten the closing date if no questions are received by the question deadline.. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (9)
- Serious: Performance and payment bonds likely required. Bonds of 100 percent of the price are required above $150,000, and the notice puts this job at $250,000 to $500,000, so you need a surety relationship before bidding.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wage rates apply. Federal construction wage rates, weekly certified payrolls and related labor paperwork apply; the wage determination attachment had no readable text in the file provided, so the actual rates are not visible here.
- Worth checking: Tight schedule right after award. Quotes are due Oct 22, 2026, the delivery period begins 29 Oct 2026, work must start within 14 days of notice to proceed and finish within 120 days, with flooring, lighting and furniture moves to coordinate in an occupied office.
Show all 9Show fewer
- Worth checking: No site visit, but you must field-verify the site. The notice says no site visit will be held, while the general requirements make you responsible for site conditions, so you price blind from the floor plan and scope.
- Worth checking: Heavy safety and quality-control staffing. You need a separate qualified Site Safety and Health Officer on site during all work, a QC plan with NAVFAC CQM-trained QC manager, an Accident Prevention Plan and other government-approved submittals before work starts.
- Minor: Safety checklist can cause payment retention. A monthly safety self-evaluation must score 90 or higher or the Government can hold back up to 10 percent of the voucher.
- Minor: Set-aside and value details do not line up. The SAM.gov header says no set-aside while the notice and attachments say 100% small business; the notice gives a $250,000 to $500,000 range yet cites a $350,000 simplified acquisition ceiling, so ask the contracting office to confirm.
- Minor: Form contains supply-order leftovers and a conflicting SSHO rule. The solicitation includes supply-style questions (shipping point, country of origin) and the general requirements say the superintendent can be SSHO while the project-specific attachment says not, so follow the project attachment and confirm by email.
- Minor: Government may shorten the closing date. If no questions arrive by the deadline, the notice lets the Government amend the solicitation to close earlier, so watch SAM.gov for amendments.
