What the government is buying
The Department of the Army is soliciting bids for facility support services at Fort Riley, Kansas, under the EAGLE program. NAICS code 561210 corresponds to Facilities Support Services—a category encompassing a broad range of building and property management activities, including maintenance, operation, and support services for government installations. The J025 classification code (Facilities Operations Support Services) further confirms this is operational support work rather than construction or specialized technical services.
Fort Riley is a major Army installation in northeast Kansas, home to the 1st Infantry Division. Facilities support contracts at military installations typically involve building maintenance, groundskeeping, custodial services, HVAC system operation, minor repairs, and other recurring services needed to keep base infrastructure functional. The "EAGLE" designation suggests this is part of the Army's Enterprise Acquisition of Goods and Services (EAGLE) contract vehicle, a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) program used for professional and support services. Task orders under EAGLE are competed among holders of the basic contract. If this is a standalone solicitation rather than an EAGLE task order, see the solicitation for the specific scope of work and contract structure.

Who can bid
This opportunity is 100% set aside for small business concerns under the total small business set-aside program. Your business must:
- Be certified as small under NAICS 561210's size standard. For Facilities Support Services, the SBA size standard is typically $47.5 million in average annual receipts (verify the current threshold at SAM.gov or SBA.gov, as standards periodically update).
- Be registered and active in SAM.gov with an up-to-date registration.
- Have any required socioeconomic certifications if the scope includes applicable provisions (see the solicitation for specific requirements).
- Demonstrate relevant past performance in facilities support services, preferably at federal or military installations.
Joint ventures and teaming arrangements are permitted under small business set-aside rules if structured to comply with SBA affiliation and control requirements. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), and HUBZone firms may receive additional evaluation consideration if this is a set-aside with an agency-specific preference or if subcontracting plans are required—see the solicitation.
How to put together a competitive bid
Facilities support contracts at Army installations are evaluated primarily on technical merit and price. To compete effectively:
- Personnel plan: Identify qualified site supervisors, maintenance technicians, and custodial staff with security clearance eligibility if required. Military installation work often requires background checks and Common Access Card (CAC) sponsorship; confirm requirements in the solicitation.
- Past performance: Prepare detailed write-ups of similar contracts, especially DoD or GSA facilities support work. Include contract numbers, points of contact, and quantitative outcomes (reduced downtime, cost savings, customer satisfaction scores).
- Technical approach: Address how you will manage recurring maintenance schedules, respond to emergency service calls, handle hazardous materials if applicable, and maintain compliance with Army safety and environmental regulations.
- Pricing strategy: Scrutinize the solicitation for basis-of-estimate instructions. Facilities support pricing typically includes labor rates with fringe benefits, overhead, general and administrative costs, and profit. Check whether the contract contemplates a bool-annual or annual pricing structure and whether economic price adjustment clauses apply—see the solicitation.
- Small business subcontracting: Even as a small business prime, you may need to submit a subcontracting plan if contract value exceeds thresholds; see the solicitation.
