AI Contract Overview
The U.S. General Services Administration is planning a design-bid-build construction project to establish a turnkey U.S. Passport Office for the Department of State at the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building and the Orrin G. Hatch United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah. The project encompasses approximately 48,000 square feet of work, featuring a new 30,000-square-foot passport office, tenant improvements to relocate five agencies, ABAAS-compliant restroom modifications for the Department of Health and Human Services, and lobby renovations with enhanced security screening. The work will be executed in three consecutive phases: tenant build-outs, demolition and hazardous materials abatement, and the final passport office and lobby construction. Because the facilities will remain occupied, the contractor must coordinate work to minimize disruptions to public access and government operations. The government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract using a best-value tradeoff selection approach under FAR Part 15, with an estimated construction value between 20 and 30 million dollars. The procurement will be open for full competition under NAICS 236220. Evaluation will be based on the general contractor's past experience (30%), past performance (25%), technical and management approach (20%), key personnel qualifications (15%), and a small business participation plan (10%). The Request for Proposals is anticipated by September 30, 2026, with a projected award in March 2027 and a performance period of approximately 22 months. Requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act will apply, though a Project Labor Agreement is not anticipated.

Full Description
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) intends to issue a Request for Proposals for the award of a single firm-fixed-price construction contract for a design-bid-build project to establish a turnkey U.S. Passport Office for the U.S. Department of State at thevWallace F. Bennett Federal Building in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This notice is issued for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation.
Project Description
The project includes approximately 48,000 square feet of construction consisting of:
- A new 30,000-square-foot U.S. Passport Office;
- Tenant improvements to relocate five existing tenant agencies;
- Modifications to space occupied by a sixth tenant agency (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) to accommodate new ABAAS-compliant restrooms; and
- Renovation of the building lobby, including security screening enhancements.
A seventh tenant agency will relocate under a separate construction contract. While outside the scope of this procurement, coordination with that effort will be required due to project sequencing.
Because the Bennett Federal Building will remain fully occupied throughout construction, the contractor will be required to execute the work in coordinated phases to maintain public access, continuous security screening operations, building functionality, and ongoing tenant operations while minimizing disruptions.
