The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code associated with this procurement is 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The Small Business Administration standard of $45.0 million dollars in annual receipts averaged over a business�s latest three (3) complete fiscal years or (except in the Business Loan, Disaster Loan Programs, Surety Bond Guarantee, and SBIC Programs) five (5) complete fiscal years to determine the average annual receipts. If a business hasn�t been in business for five (5) years, multiply its average weekly revenue by 52 to determine its average annual receipts. This requirement will be a Total Small Business Set-Aside, and the contractor shall be selected using Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 36.101-2 Use of Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures and RFO Part 15.1 Presolicitation and Solicitation procedures. This procurement will be competitive, utilizing the Highest-Technically Rated with a Fair and Reasonable Process approach based on the solicitations�s stated budgetary constraints (affordability) under the Best Value (RFO Part 15.103). The approach prioritizes the best possible performance, provided the price is determined to be fair and reasonable and within the guidelines of the Government�s stated budget. During each phase, all proposals are initially evaluated based solely on the non-price factors specified in the solicitation. Only the price of the highest-ranked technical proposal is then evaluated to ensure it is fair, reasonable and does not exceed our stated budget. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. This requirement will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract for design and construction services.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored deadline is within ten days. Build an internal submission deadline and verify whether questions, site visits, registrations or approvals are due earlier.
Small Business Set Aside - Total is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 237990 · PSC Y1PZ is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
