2026-New Burn Range Building + Option 1

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, is forecasting the construction of a new reinforced concrete live-fire training facility at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The project will include eight burn cells and one flashover cell, designed for advanced fire suppression and emergency response training. In addition to the main structure, the scope encompasses comprehensive site work such as grading, erosion control, utility modifications, electrical infrastructure, and restoration efforts to ensure full operational readiness and environmental compliance. The facility is intended to support critical training missions for emergency personnel and will be built to meet stringent safety and durability standards. This procurement is designated as an 8(a) set-aside, reserving the opportunity for small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. The North American Industry Classification System code 238110 identifies the work as specialized construction services. The point of contact for technical inquiries is Mark Mellott, with Amy Connolly serving as the Small Business Specialist to assist eligible contractors. While the solicitation number and official posting date are not yet available, interested parties are encouraged to prepare proposals in alignment with the project’s technical requirements and the 8(a) program guidelines. The place of performance is firmly established at the NETC campus in Maryland, and all work must comply with federal construction and safety regulations.
