What the government is buying
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) at the Wilmington, North Carolina office of USDA's Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) division needs roof repair services. This is a routine maintenance-type construction contract for federal facilities. Roof repair work typically addresses leaks, storm damage, membrane replacement, flashing repairs, or structural issues on government buildings. The specific scope of repairs—whether limited to a single building, multiple structures, or a particular type of roofing system—is not specified in the available metadata; see the solicitation for details on work areas, materials required, and any warranty provisions.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the total small business set-aside program. Your business must qualify as small under NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors), which carries a size standard of average annual receipts over three years. You must be registered in SAM.gov with active status and have the appropriate North American Industry Classification System code in your profile. If you are a veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, or HUBZone small business, you may still bid under this general small business set-aside, though no specific socioeconomic preference applies beyond the size requirement itself. Joint ventures are permitted if they meet SBA affiliation rules and size standards.
How to put together a competitive bid
For roofing construction work, your bid should demonstrate technical competence and risk management. First, obtain the full solicitation to examine the scope of work, specifications for roofing materials, safety requirements, and any Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage determinations that apply to this project. Prepare to document your experience with comparable commercial or government roof repair projects, including similar building types and climate conditions relevant to coastal North Carolina.
Insurance and bonding are standard expectations for construction work; verify whether the solicitation requires payment and performance bonds and at what thresholds. Emphasize your ability to work around active federal facility operations—APHIS facilities often house sensitive plant inspection or quarantine activities that cannot be disrupted. Include your plan for debris removal, weather protection during partial repairs, and compliance with EPA stormwater regulations. If energy-efficient or cool roofing options are specified, document your certifications from manufacturers. Price competitively but realistically; government estimators often have historical data on roofing costs and may flag bids that appear unbalanced or unrealistic.
