GSA's Public Buildings Service wants a small business to install an intrusion (burglar) alarm system for the IRS office inside the federal building and courthouse at 300 Booth St in Reno, NV. It is a firm-fixed-price construction job estimated at under $50,000, set aside for small businesses. Quotes are due October 28, 2026 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time (extended from October 14) by email.
Watch out for
- Scope of work documents are restricted. The two scope of work files are controlled and require requesting access, so you cannot price this job accurately without them.
- Bonding on a small job. A payment bond or letter of credit for 100 percent of the price is required within 10 days of award, which can be hard to get for a job under $50,000.
The amount of the payment protection shall be 100 percent of the contract
- Signed amendment required with the quote. You must sign and return the Amendment 0002 SF 30 with your quote, and missing documents may make a quote non-responsive.
Contractor must sign blocks 15A-15C of this SF30 and return with bid submission.
- Conflicting performance period and dates. The solicitation says 90 calendar days from notice to proceed, but the SF 1442 shows a period of 10/30/2026 - 07/30/2027, and the solicitation headers cite number 47PD5526Q0051; confirm with the Contracting Officer.
PoP: 10/30/2026 - 07/30/2027
- Construction wage rules and paperwork. Davis-Bacon wage rates, weekly payroll records and many construction clauses apply even though the job is small.
- Short, strict quote format. Quotes must be separate PDF volumes with strict page limits, and omitted required information may get the quote removed from consideration.
Failure to furnish all information required above may result in your quotation being considered
- Pre-bid questions answers pending; site walk already held. The site walk was held September 22 and the question deadline has passed, with answers to RFIs still pending.
Responses to pre-bid RFIs are pending.
