Only HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) or SDVOSB (service-disabled veteran-owned small business) firms can bid on this Air Force multiple award construction contract (MACC). Several winners will later compete for individual construction jobs (task orders), generally $1M to $30M, at Joint Base Charleston, SC and outlying sites.

Who can bid (5)
- HUBZone or SDVOSB status: the acquisition is a small business set-aside open only to these two groups; an offeror needs certification in one of them, not both
- Small business under NAICS 236220 (size standard $45,000,000 in annual receipts)
- Offer guarantee and performance and payment bonds, figured from the Seed Project price; the form lists 10 calendar days after award for bonds
Show all 5Show fewer
- Recent, relevant past performance in the Southeast (SBA Region IV) on renovation or utility work, with questionnaires and partner consent letters
- Joint ventures must follow SBA guidance and the limits on subcontracting
How to submit: Electronically through DoD SAFE (a secure file drop). Email SSgt Lauren Parker (lauren.parker.4@us.af.mil), cc Contracting Officer Robert Melton (robert.melton.6@us.af.mil), to be added; access is valid for 14 days. No other delivery method is accepted, due October 28, 2026, 12:00 PM Eastern (EDT). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (11)
- Serious: Only HUBZone or SDVOSB firms can bid. The competition is limited to HUBZone or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses; other small businesses are not eligible.
- Serious: Offer guarantee and bonds tied to the Seed Project. A firm needs an offer guarantee and performance and payment bonds sized from the Seed Project price; the amounts and the form's yes/no boxes couldn't be read, so check the form on SAM.gov.
- Serious: Past performance only counts in the Southeast. Projects outside Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee are rated Not Relevant and not evaluated, which can sink an offer from a firm without local work.
Show all 11Show fewer
- Worth checking: SAM.gov shows no set-aside; the solicitation says HUBZone and SDVOSB. SAM.gov lists the set-aside as not stated, while the solicitation form says HUBZone and SDVOSB and Section C says HUBZone or SDVOSB; ask the contracting officer to confirm.
- Worth checking: Funds not yet available. No award will be made until funds are available and the Government may cancel before or after the closing date without paying offer costs.
- Worth checking: Must bid on 75% of task orders. Awardees that do not send responsive proposals on 75% of task order requests over twelve months can be removed from the MACC, and proposal costs are not repaid.
- Worth checking: Task order site visits required. After award, attending each task order's site visit is required unless the request says otherwise; skipping it makes that proposal non-responsive, and travel costs are not billed separately.
- Worth checking: Submission only through DoD SAFE with prior access request. Bidders must ask the contract specialist to add their email to DoD SAFE first, and that access lasts 14 days.
- Minor: Response due date moved to October 28, 2026. Amendment 0003 moved the response due date to October 28, 2026 from October 14, 2026; SAM.gov shows October 28, 2026, 12:00 PM Eastern.
- Minor: Past Performance volume capped at 50 pages. Pages over the limit are not read or evaluated, so a long list of projects must be kept tight.
- Minor: Statement of work shows a different solicitation number. The statement of work names a different solicitation number than the notice; ask the contracting officer which governs.

- How many MACC awards the Government plans is not stated in the text read
- Whether the Davis-Bacon Act (federal construction wage law) applies is not stated in the text read; wage determinations for Charleston, Berkeley and Sumter counties, SC and Wayne County, NC are attached but not read
