NIST Boulder B1 Wing 6 Seal Above Hallway Doors

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation, numbered 1333ND26RNB190030, for construction services at its Boulder, Colorado, campus. This project involves extending the Building 1 Wing 6 demising wall vertically to the structural concrete deck to eliminate an existing 2–3.5 foot gap, effectively isolating Wing 6 from the Spine corridor both thermally and mechanically. The scope includes sealing penetrations and abandoned openings with fire-rated materials where walls separate the women’s restroom from the corridor. An optional scope of work may include the reconstruction of storage room #4089, involving the installation of hollow metal door frames, security hardware, fire-rated sealant, additional fire sprinkler protection, interior lighting, and standardized NIST interior signage.

The selected contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, site protection, debris removal, and coordination necessary to meet NIST campus safety and construction standards. This procurement is classified under NAICS 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and PSC Z2AA for Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings. It is designated as an SBA Small Business Administration set-aside. Five attachments accompany the solicitation, including a safety plan checklist, wage determination, physical access control standards, general contractor requirements, and the primary solicitation document.
