The Government Publishing Office (GPO) has issued Solicitation Number 040ADV-25-R-0026, a Request for Proposal (RFP), for professional services to create a Building Information Model (BIM) of its Washington, DC campus. The project, titled "GPO Campus Building Information Model (BIM)," requires 3D laser scanning and BIM generation of Buildings A, B, C, and D, totaling approximately 1,500,000 square feet. The objective is to develop an accurate, as-built 3D digital representation of the facility, including architectural, structural, and major MEP systems, to serve as an authoritative reference for future planning, design, renovation, construction, and facility maintenance. The contract will be a firm fixed-price type with a base performance period of 18 months and four 12-month option years for ongoing BIM production support. Key deliverables include a BIM Execution Plan, scan data, the BIM model in Autodesk Revit, and training for GPO staff. The project emphasizes adherence to federal BIM standards, data integrity, and the contractor's experience and technical expertise.
Amendment 040ADV-25-R-0026-0002 extends the proposal due date to November 17, 2025, for the Building Information Model, GPO Campus project. This amendment includes responses to bidder questions, incorporates revisions to the Statement of Work (SOW) with highlighted changes, and adds the Site Visit attendance sheet. It also revises the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) structure to include a 12-month base period and four 12-month option years for GPO Campus BIM services, all structured as Firm Fixed Price contracts. Offers must acknowledge this amendment to avoid rejection.
This document compiles Q&A responses for a government Building Information Model (BIM) solicitation, clarifying critical project requirements and scope. Key points include that contractors must be US-based, and all data processing must occur within the US, though U.S. based contractors may employ virtual-only staff residing outside the U.S. as long as project data and models remain domestically hosted. Energy modeling and thermal properties requirements have been removed from the SOW. The page limit for proposals has been increased to 130 pages across all five volumes, and offerors must submit signed letters of commitment for all proposed key personnel. GPO will provide an asbestos survey, but abatement is not in scope. The contractor is responsible for developing the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) based on industry standards, and the BEP approval milestone has been moved to an earlier date. GPO will not provide replacement materials for damaged ceiling tiles. Integration with ServiceNow is anticipated for asset management, but the integration itself is out of scope. Training will focus on fundamental-level navigation skills for various roles, and GPO will be responsible for post-project BIM maintenance.
The United States Government Publishing Office (GPO) seeks professional services for 3D laser scanning and Building Information Model (BIM) generation of its Washington, DC campus (Buildings A, B, C, and D), totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet. The project aims to create an accurate, up-to-date 3D digital representation of existing architectural, structural, and major MEP systems, as current drawings are incomplete. Key tasks include an initial site assessment, kick-off meeting, development of a comprehensive BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and scanning plan, 3D scanning, and BIM model development using Autodesk Revit. Deliverables include the BIM model, scan data, progress reports, and training for GPO staff. The contract also includes option years for BIM production support, maintenance, and updates. The contractor must have experience with similar BIM projects, technical BIM expertise, and adhere to federal BIM standards, with all work and data processing to be done within the USA.
