Additional Details
The Department of Labor (DOL), through its Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) Business Operations Center (BOC), has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (Solicitation No. 1605C3-26-R-00008) for the comprehensive upgrade of public spaces within the Frances Perkins Building (FPB), located in Washington, DC. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a small business size standard of $45 million, and is set aside exclusively for small business concerns under SBA guidelines.
The primary objective of this project is to modernize and enhance the Great Hall, Auditorium, and Mezzanine areas of the FPB, which serve as critical venues for both internal and external engagements. These spaces are central to the Department’s mission, frequently hosting high-visibility events, hybrid meetings, press conferences, leadership communications, training sessions, and public gatherings. The intended outcome is to create a professional, welcoming, and technologically advanced environment that reflects the Department’s standards and supports its operational needs.
The scope of work encompasses both physical and technological improvements. Key deliverables include the replacement of outdated Audio/Visual (AV) systems—many of which are currently beyond end-of-life and lack vendor support—with modern, scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly with current collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR), Webex, and Zoom. In addition to AV upgrades, the project will address architectural enhancements such as new curtains, updated carpeting, improved lighting, and refreshed furnishings and seating. All improvements are expected to contribute to a cohesive, accessible, and visually appealing space that supports efficient and comfortable use by employees, stakeholders, and visitors.
The modernization effort is comprehensive, targeting not only the technological infrastructure but also the overall aesthetics and functionality of the public spaces. Solutions must be forward-looking, ensuring long-term adaptability to evolving technology and continued support for the Department’s mission-critical communications and events. Compliance with accessibility standards and reliability are essential requirements.
The procurement will result in the award of a single firm-fixed price contract. All responsible small business sources are invited to submit proposals, which will be evaluated by the agency. The solicitation includes detailed responses to industry questions across multiple disciplines (Architectural, AV, Communication and IT, Electrical, Mechanical, and Procurement), as well as updated floor plans, electrical and plumbing drawings, and amendments to the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
The contracting activity is managed by the DOL - CAS Division 3 Procurement office. Interested parties may direct inquiries to the primary contact, Emily Bear ([email protected]), or the secondary contact, Helen A. Williams ([email protected]). The solicitation and all associated documents are available via SAM.gov (Opportunity ID: 3a38e1877cee44ca900e01128392b092).
The proposal submission deadline has been extended to July 6, 2026, at 9:00am (EDT), as per Amendment 00001. Contractors are encouraged to review all attachments and amendments carefully to ensure compliance with the latest requirements and to fully understand the scope and expectations of this high-profile modernization effort.
This opportunity is ideal for small businesses with demonstrated experience in commercial and institutional building construction, particularly those with expertise in AV integration, architectural renovations, and the delivery of technologically advanced, accessible public spaces.
