Presolicitation Notice: Mechanical Electrical Plumbing A/E IDIQ
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is planning a total small business set-aside multiple award Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Architectural and Engineering IDIQ contract to support maintenance, modification, and improvement of specialized facility systems at its Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. The work includes planning, evaluation, design, engineering, and related support for task orders covering items such as utility lines, electrical equipment, fire alarm systems, HVAC and steam systems, renovations, metering, and other facility upgrades across laboratories, offices, industrial spaces, and other Montgomery County facilities. This is not a design-build contract, though some construction management support may be required, and the effort emphasizes licensed key personnel, campus design standards, quality assurance, and security and safety requirements. NIST expects to issue the solicitation on or about April 30, 2026, with a base year and four one-year ordering periods, an anticipated award date in September 2026, task orders ranging from $75,000 to $5,000,000, and an aggregate contract value of $9.8 million.
