Contract Spotlight: A $21.3 million GSA renovation order for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission went to Matos-Grunley Joint Venture

USAspending records for October 2 to 8, 2026 show a $21,292,000 delivery order to MATOS-GRUNLEY JOINT VENTURE from the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service to renovate the second and third floors of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission headquarters building in Rockville, Maryland.

Key takeaways

  • The General Services Administration obligated $21,292,000 to MATOS-GRUNLEY JOINT VENTURE on October 8, 2026, under delivery order 47PB5227F0001, awarded by the Public Buildings Service.
  • The work is the renovation of the second and third floors of One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, the headquarters of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
  • The order was the largest General Services Administration action of the October 2 to 8 window and the fourth largest reported contract transaction of the week overall.

What the record shows

The transaction is listed in USAspending as a delivery order with an action date of October 8, 2026. The awarding agency is the General Services Administration, and the awarding sub agency is the Public Buildings Service, the part of GSA that owns and manages federal office buildings. The federal action obligation recorded for the transaction is $21,292,000.00.

The award description names the project directly: Nuclear Regulatory Commission second and third floor renovations at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852. One White Flint North is the NRC headquarters building. The order is a delivery order, meaning it was placed under an existing contract vehicle rather than awarded as a standalone contract, and the $21.3 million figure is the amount obligated by this action. An obligation is funds committed under the order, not a payment already made.

How it compares

In the October 2 to 8 window, the General Services Administration recorded $77,689,561.03 in contract obligations. The Matos-Grunley order alone is about 27.4 percent of that total. GSA also recorded 21,425 transactions in the window, by far the highest count of any department, because most GSA actions are small purchase and lease related transactions. The next largest GSA actions were $8,771,468.28 to ERNST & YOUNG LLP for Ginnie Mae financial systems support and $6,227,104.18 to BRUCKEDWARDS, INC.

Across all departments in the same window, the Matos-Grunley order ranks fourth in size, behind the $900,485,186.84 Veterans Affairs delivery order to TRIWEST HEALTHCARE ALLIANCE CORP, the $99,575,262 Agriculture definitive contract to PEACHTREE LUMBER COMPANY, INC, and the $28,283,738.07 Veterans Affairs contract to CELLCO PARTNERSHIP. Department of Defense contract data is largely absent from the USAspending feed for this period, a reporting gap flagged in the source data, so the ranking covers reported data only.

Sources and methodology

Methodology. Daily cash figures are from the U.S. Treasury’s Daily Treasury Statement (DTS) for September 28, 2026, the government’s official daily cash-flow report. The DTS records money actually moving in and out of Treasury accounts; it is not the same as the budget deficit, which is measured monthly on an accrual-adjusted basis.
