The General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service, Special Programs Division, is seeking possible sources to provide design-build services under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The small business size standard associated with NAICS 236220 is $33.5 Million (effective August 22, 2008), which means that a company, including its affiliates, would be considered a "small business" if their average annual gross receipts does not exceed $33.5 Million for the past three years. If a company has not been in business for three years, the average weekly revenue for the number of weeks the company has been in business is multiplied by 52 to determine the average annual receipts.

The project is located in an active airport and will require the coordination and phasing of all work so as not to disturb existing operations.
