# GSA Seeks $10 Billion for Building Repairs

The General Services Administration is seeking $10 billion for critical repairs at 103 federal buildings during fiscal years 2028–2034 and wants Congress to raise the approval threshold for individual repairs from $3.96 million to $75 million. GSA says the current approval process averages 426 days and contributes to a $50 billion repair backlog; delayed work can cost up to 436% more. The funding and threshold change are proposals, not awarded contracts, but could shape a substantial pipeline of federal facilities work if approved.

- Potential work includes building systems, life-safety, security, structural and seismic repairs, and hazardous-materials abatement.
- Contractors in these areas can use the proposed scope to assess relevant capabilities and likely teaming needs, while recognizing that funding and procurement opportunities depend on congressional action.
- Raising the threshold could reduce approval delays for qualifying repairs and change how GSA sequences and packages facilities projects.
