Concrete Greenhouse Floors in Prosser, WA

The contract is for the construction of concrete greenhouse floors at the USDA ARS facility in Prosser, Washington, with the solicitation number 1232SA26Q0690 and contract number 1170501. It is a Firm Fixed-Price award set aside exclusively for HUBZone small businesses, as indicated by the HZC set-aside code and supported by FAR clauses 52.219-3 and 52.219-6, which reinforce the HUBZone and small business exclusivity. The work encompasses removal and reinstallation of existing tables, excavation, gravel base placement, rebar installation, formwork, concrete pouring and finishing, floor drain installation, and site restoration across Buildings 101, 102, and 112. Performance must be completed within 120 calendar days after award, with no notice-to-proceed delay, and inspections will occur on-site at the Prosser location. The contract requires full compliance with OSHA standards, the Davis-Bacon Act, Buy American provisions, and construction-specific FAR clauses addressing site conditions, materials, workmanship, scheduling, and safety. The offeror must submit a complete SF-1442 form, a certified SF-24 bid bond, and two verifiable references detailing recent, relevant construction experience, with all submissions emailed to david.hildebrand@usda.gov by 5:00 PM local time on June 10, 2026. Evaluation is conducted on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable basis, meaning only the lowest-priced proposal that meets all mandatory requirements will be considered for award. Contract administration is managed by David Hildebrand, the Contracting Officer, with payment mandatory through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), not WAWF. The contractor must provide as-built drawings, certified payrolls, release of claims, and warranty documents, and must not store materials on-site overnight without approval. No office space will be provided, and staff may be required to obtain a USDA Linc Pass for access. The contract includes clauses on whistleblower rights, contractor ethics, anti-trafficking, payment protections for small business subcontractors, labor standards compliance, and security requirements for information systems, but does not specify packaging requirements, FOB terms, or include contract options or security clearances.
