The US Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology has a requirement for a contractor to perform the construction services to renovate the A-Wing HVAC Systems of Building 101. Construction services to include abatement, demolition, AHU construction, piping (demolition and install), controls, and testing and balancing.

Building 101 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the main administration building for the NIST Gaithersburg Campus. Building 101 consists of an 11-story administrative office tower and a sprawling first floor and basement level.

The first floor of Building 101 houses the central campus conference facilities, the NIST research library and the main campus cafeteria. The basement level houses the NIST fitness center, badging and security offices, telecommunications suites, and the campus health unit, among other occupancies. The office tower, floors 2 through 11, house a variety of administrative support and managerial office functions. Although the original design intent and functions of the lower levels and office tower floors remain largely intact, changing trends, new technologies, and the age of the facility, in general, have been eroding their role as a center where NIST researchers can meet with one another and members of the public to collaborate and innovate.
