The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), through its Agricultural Research Service (ARS), is seeking contractors for a roof repair and painting project at the Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center (PBARC) in Hilo, Hawaii. The project involves comprehensive inspection and repair of approximately 28,000 square feet of the existing roof, along with sealing and repainting two arches and a 40' x 200' exterior wall, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local codes. This initiative underscores USDA's commitment to maintaining its research facilities while promoting small business participation, with a contract value estimated between $100,000 and $250,000. Interested contractors should monitor the SAM website for the Request for Quotation (RFQ #12905B25Q0064), expected to be released around May 5, 2025, and must ensure their registration with the System for Award Management.
