The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a firm fixed-price solicitation for a small business contractor to perform critical exterior building repairs and renovations at the NIST Boulder Campus, primarily focused on Building 8. The core scope includes removal and replacement of the existing foam roof system with a new metal roof deck, installation of new fascia, gutters, downspouts, snow guards, and replacement of damaged insulation. Optional work packages cover demolition and reconstruction of the northwest entrance overhang at Building 5, reinstallation of an ornamental vent stack cap on Building 3, and replacement of the main entrance door system, frame, concrete slab, and structural supports on Building 11. The project requires compliance with federal construction and safety standards, including skillful workmanship and the use of new, high-grade materials, under the oversight of designated government representatives who will perform on-site inspection and acceptance. The performance period spans from June 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, covering base and optional tasks all performed on-site in Boulder, Colorado. This acquisition is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 236220, focused on construction of commercial and institutional buildings, and evaluates proposals primarily on technical approach and schedule, which are significantly more important than price. Offerors must also comply with numerous FAR provisions addressing ethics, labor, small business programs, inspection, warranty, and environmental requirements, including specific security processing for personnel and controls on foreign national access. Proposal submission deadlines are strictly defined, with a mandatory site visit conducted May 14, 2026, and proposals due June 1, 2026. Invoicing must be electronic, directed to NIST’s designated email or via the Treasury’s IPP system. The solicitation requires detailed representations and certifications from offerors regarding business size, socioeconomic status, and registration in SAM, though no pricing data is currently disclosed. The award will be based on best value through a trade-off process, emphasizing the contractor’s ability to deliver a technically sound, timely, and compliant project to the government’s satisfaction.
