Basketball court reconstruction

The Department of State has issued a pre-solicitation notice for the reconstruction of an outdoor basketball half-court at the U.S. Embassy Vienna Marine House in Vienna, Austria. The project addresses a facility that has reached the end of its life cycle and is currently undersized. The scope of work involves the total demolition and disposal of the existing 7x8-meter asphalt surface, substructure, lighting, and basketball posts. The contractor will be responsible for soil removal and the construction of a new 182-square-meter court measuring 13x14 meters.

The construction phase requires the installation of a new subgrade and drainage system, an EPDM rubber top surface or equivalent, and stone slabs around the court perimeter. Mechanical and electrical tasks include installing point foundations, an adjustable basketball hoop, two exterior light poles, and necessary cabling or rewiring. Work must be executed while the facility remains operational, requiring adherence to U.S. Government security regulations, employee clearance processes, and safety measures to minimize disturbance to residents.

The indicative performance period is five weeks during the fall of 2026. This opportunity is identified by solicitation number 19AU9026Q0010 and is classified under NAICS 238990, All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, and PSC Z1FC, Maintenance of Troop Housing Facilities. Responses are due by July 29, 2026, and Zahid Raja serves as the point of contact. No set-aside was designated for this requirement.
