Summary: This project includes building the SMTF at the James J. Rowley Training Center (JJRTC), which is the primary training facility for the United States Secret Service (USSS). The training center consists of multiple buildings and structures that provide an environment for various training activities, including active scenario training, as well as classroom and conference room space. Due to increased operational tempo, development of new training programs, and campus population growth in recent years, the USSS continues to develop the JJRTC campus to meet the needs of the USSS mission. To enhance training activities and operational readiness, the USSS intends to construct a full-scale site and building representation of the White House, perimeter buildings, and grounds. The services requested by the contractor shall cover a wide range of construction activities including management, supervision, labor, equipment, and materials required to provide construction and other related services necessary to construct the new facilities. Related services include, but are not limited to, site planning, utilities, testing and inspection during construction, commissioning, and potential additional analysis of the site. The scope of work for the SMTF project is pursuant to FAR 15.103 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-15) and FAR 36 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-36). The resultant contract will be firm fixed price. The estimated cost range for construction is between $260,000,000.00 and $290,000,000.00. The intended project delivery method is a Phased Acquisition procurement using a Two-Phase Construction Concept. AMENDMENTS TO SOLICITATION: It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor SAM.gov for the release of any amendments. BONDING: A bid bond is required in Phase 2 as well as payment and performance bonds after award. SECURITY: Before employees are allowed to work under the anticipated contract, all personnel are required to pass a security check. Specific security requirements will be contained in the solicitation. FUNDS AVAILABILITY: Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government’s obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government arises until award of the contract. ELIGIBLE OFFERORS: All responsible business firms may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. All prospective offerors are also required to use the System for Award Management at SAM.gov for registering their firm and completing representations and certifications. Any questions regarding this notification shall be directed to Marsha Howard, Contracting Officer, via marsha.howard@gsa.gov.
