How to bid on prefabricated modular office units for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Puerto Rico Army National Guard needs to purchase and have installed four prefabricated commercial office trailers at Camp Santiago in Salinas, Puerto Rico. These units range in size from 24 by 72 feet to 24 by 80 feet. The project includes the complete turnkey placement, leveling, and concrete anchoring of these units. This is a 100% small-business set-aside opportunity, making it a good fit for eligible small businesses in the construction and manufactured home sectors.
The work explicitly excludes permanent utility grid connections and any repairs to existing concrete slabs. The solicitation also specifies that the contractor must provide generator power for acceptance functional testing of the units.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting your quote is September 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. This deadline was extended from an earlier date and has not been extended further. All quotes must be submitted electronically by this time.
The period of performance for delivery and installation is 145 days after the Government issues a Notice to Proceed (NTP). This schedule is designed to help manage supply chain and shipping risks.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is a 100% small-business set-aside, making it suitable for small businesses specializing in manufactured home manufacturing or general construction. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 321991 (Manufactured Home (Mobile Home) Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The PSC is 5410 (Prefabricated and Portable Buildings).
Firms with experience in turnkey installation of modular buildings, including site preparation, leveling, and anchoring, will be well-suited. Experience with commercial performance-based standards for building components like doors, windows, and wall assemblies is also relevant.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Carefully review the revised Statement of Work (Revision 8 September 2026) as it supersedes previous versions and includes key updates on performance standards, scope exclusions, and technical data submittals. Pay close attention to the confirmed turnkey scope for placement, leveling, and anchoring, and the explicit exclusion of permanent utility grid connections and slab remediation.
Ensure your quote aligns with the SF 1449 CLIN structure for pricing. Also, consider the delivery clearance data provided in Technical Exhibit E, which specifies a 13-foot overhead clearance and approximately 10-foot wide entrance lane for delivery logistics at Camp Santiago. Providing detailed technical data for wind-load, coastal packages, and wall assemblies as required in Section 9.1 will strengthen your proposal.
