NIFC Building 415 Replacement

Summary: Background The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) is issuing this solicitation for the replacement of Building 415, known as the Duane Graves facility. The goal of this contract is to construct a new administrative facility that supports the mission of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other federal agencies involved in fire management and response. This project aims to enhance operational efficiency and safety for personnel working in fire management. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for the construction of a new administrative facility, which includes tasks such as site preparation, foundation work, structural framing, roofing, installation of electrical and plumbing systems, interior finishes, and landscaping. Specific requirements include adherence to federal guidelines for historical preservation and safety protocols. The contractor must also provide a quality control and safety plan within 10 days after contract award. All work must comply with applicable state laws regarding fire prevention during declared fire danger seasons. Period of Performance The contract performance period is from August 3, 2026, to August 3, 2028. The contractor is required to begin work within 10 calendar days after receiving the notice to proceed and complete all work within 730 calendar days. Place of Performance The construction projects will be performed at the National Interagency Fire Center located at 3833 S Development Ave, Boise, ID 83705. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The solicitation for the NIFC Building 415 replacement shows a closely related prior contract, 140L3725C0012, awarded to Winspear Construction for $954,354 (07/17/25–05/12/26). That prior work involved repairs at NIFC facilities (NIFC 300 JWH MPR SUITE/NICC REPAIRS), which appears similar in that it is facility construction/repair activity at the same National Interagency Fire Center location and likely involves comparable building trades, site coordination, and compliance requirements. While the current effort is a replacement of Building 415 rather than repairs to specific suites, the overlap in place of performance and scope type suggests continuity of work at NIFC.
