National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 4TH FLOOR Renovation Project

The National Archives and Records Administration 4th Floor Renovation Project, under solicitation number 040ADV-26-R-0016-C0004, is a modification issued by the United States Government Publishing Office to clarify prior responses to questions 21 and 144 and to provide updated guidance on the scope of hazardous materials handling. The amendment, effective May 5, 2026, and issued on May 6, 2026, does not alter any contract terms or conditions but focuses on technical clarification. Work must be performed at the NARA facility in Washington, D.C., with contractor responsibilities including off-hours hammer drilling on Saturdays, coordination with government personnel, and strict adherence to the Hazardous Materials Survey Report_GPO Safety. The contractor is required to manage lead-containing materials in compliance with federal regulations and halt work immediately upon discovering undocumented hazardous substances, though asbestos abatement remains solely the government's responsibility. Key performance deliverables include installation of shelving systems rated for a minimum of 350 pounds per shelf, with steel gauge determined by the manufacturer to meet this load requirement, as specified in Drawing A303 Shelving Notes and Q&A #144. Inspection and acceptance are governed by the government, with no separate Contracting Officer’s Representative identified, and the place of performance is firmly established at the 20401 ZIP code location. While the contract type, pricing, period of performance, and formal evaluation factors are not detailed in the amendment, the procurement falls under NAICS code 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, and all submissions must acknowledge receipt of this modification. No packaging, invoicing, or accounting data is provided, and no socioeconomic certifications or representations are referenced, indicating these elements were either addressed in the original solicitation or remain unaddressed in this amendment.
