Milwaukee USCH Hardening Project

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service is conducting market research (RFI/SSN) for design‑bid‑build construction services to harden the U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building in Milwaukee, WI (517 East Wisconsin Ave). The 18‑month effort is estimated at $5 M‑$15 M and falls under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). Scope includes replacing doors and louvers, installing forced‑entry‑resistant doors, frames, hardware, and compression‑framed window systems in a historic 1899 landmark listed on the National Register, while preserving original fabric and meeting GSA PBS Core Buildings Standards and the U.S. Courthouse‑Milwaukee Design Standards. Respondents must submit a five‑page (single‑sided PDF, ≤25 MB) Letter of Interest and Capability Statement by 5:00 PM CT on 22 April 2026 to Contracting Officer Neal Deodhar (neal.deodhar@gsa.gov) with the subject line “Milwaukee Hardening RFI Response.” Required content includes company name, SAM UEI, address, point‑of‑contact, active SAM registration, NAICS size status and any socioeconomic designations, a narrative on performing the work if located outside the project area, three recent prime contracts ≥$5 M (including scope, location, dates, customer references, and dollar values), bonding capacity for a single $15 M project and aggregate capacity, and JV details if applicable. Offerors will be evaluated on demonstrated experience with similarly complex, nationally designated historic structures and on bonding capability. No phone calls are accepted; questions may be submitted by email. This RFI is for planning only and does not obligate GSA to issue a solicitation.
