GSA's Public Buildings Service plans to award about 18 multiple-award IDIQ contracts for general construction work at federal buildings in the D.C. metro area (Washington DC plus parts of Virginia and Maryland). It is a total small business set-aside with some contracts reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB and SDVOSB firms. Proposals are due 29 October 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern, and awards are expected in February 2027.
Watch out for
- Large bonding requirement. A $10M-per-project bonding minimum is a pass/fail test that many small contractors cannot meet.
Evidence of Bonding Capacity: Go/No Go. (Minimum- $10M per project)
- Only about six non-reserved slots. About 12 of the roughly 18 contracts are reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB and SDVOSB firms, so competition for the remaining slots is tight.
The government is reserving three (3) contracts each for the following socioeconomic designations: 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB
- Winning the IDIQ is not winning work. Each task order is competed again among all awardees, so you still have to win individual projects after award.
all awardees will be provided fair opportunity in accordance with FAR 16.507-2 for discrete construction projects
- High-security and sensitive work. Projects may be in labs, SCIFs and secured buildings, which can bring clearance and access requirements.
elevator modernizations, work in technically sensitive environments like laboratories
- Pre-proposal conference already held. The virtual conference was on 6 October 2026, so you have missed it; the Government's answers were posted in amendments on SAM.gov.
A virtual pre-proposal conference will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 @ 10:00AM EST and will be held via Google Meet.
