The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Region 3, is seeking information on technically capable, and otherwise responsible, general contractors (GC) for the anticipated solicitation for a Multiple Award General Construction Services Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. Description of Intended Contract An IDIQ is a type of contract that provides for an indefinite quantity of supplies or services during a fixed period.

After award of the IDIQ all awardees will be provided fair opportunity IAW FAR 16.505(b)(1) for specific requirements where task orders will be issued unless an exemption exists IAW FAR 16.505(b)(2). This proposed procurement is anticipated to be set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.502-2. In addition, the Government also anticipates establishing reserves in accordance with FAR 19.503. One (1) contract may be reserved for an 8(a) firm, one (1) contract may be reserved for a HUBZone firm, and one (1) contract may be reserved for a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). The government has the right to award more than one contract to any of the concerns if it is determined they represent the best value to the government in accordance with the source selection criteria. The government will only meet this concern if a proposal is received from a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and/or a HUBZone firm, and/or 8(a) business concern that is responsive, responsible, has received an overall technical score of "Acceptable" or greater and represents a fair and reasonable price. If it is determined that no SDVOSB or HUBZone offeror proposes an acceptable proposal at fair and reasonable price, a SDVOSB or HUBZone concern will not be recommended for an award and the government is no longer bound to make an award to this concern. The Multiple Award IDIQ will be for a base period of one year and will include four, one year option periods for a maximum contract length of five years. The first ordering period is expected to begin on or about August 1, 2025. The anticipated Maximum Ordering Limit (MOL) for this contract vehicle is $75,000,000.00 (aggregate).

The minimum guarantee for this contract is $2,500.00 per contractor for the base year. There is no guaranteed minimum for any option years. The anticipated ordering limits are expected to be between $50,000.00 and $3,000,000.00. Projects/task orders outside of this dollar range may also be competed among the IDIQ awardees, if it is in the best interest of the government to do so.
