The Air Force (628th Contracting Squadron, Joint Base Charleston, SC) wants to award a multiple-award, firm-fixed-price construction contract (JB CHS MACC 2.0) for repair, renovation, utility and design-build work at Joint Base Charleston and nearby bases. All task orders together can reach $400 million over about 5.5 years, and individual task orders are generally $1M to $30M. Bidders first compete on a single "seed project" (repair of Dormitory B464, over $10 million) and then compete for task orders. Proposals are now due 28 October 2026.

Watch out for

Set-aside conflict between SAM listing and documents. The SAM listing shows no set-aside, but the latest amendment limits the competition to HUBZone or SDVOSB firms (the original solicitation said total small business), so confirm your eligibility with the Contracting Officer before spending time on a bid. This acquisition is set aside for HUBZone or SDVOSB
Large seed project with offer guarantee and bonds. You must price and be ready to bond a seed project over $10 million just to get onto the contract, which is a big hurdle for a small firm's bonding capacity. The estimated amount of the Seed Project is: More than $10,000,000.
Past performance must be local, recent and large. Only projects in the Southeast Region within the last five years count; work outside it is rated Not Relevant, and the most relevant projects are $1M-$30M renovation or utility jobs. Past Performance submitted for projects occurring outside the SE Region will be evaluated as Not Relevant.
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 proposal costs. FUNDS ARE NOT PRESENTLY AVAILABLE FOR THIS EFFORT.
Must bid on most task orders. Awardees can be removed from the contract if they do not respond to 75% of task order requests over 12 months, and task order proposals are unpaid. Contractors are required to submit responsive proposals on 75% of Task Order Proposal Requests (TOPRs)
Task order site visits expected to be mandatory. Skipping a required site visit makes your task order proposal non-responsive, and travel costs are not billed separately. Site Visit attendance shall be required for Task Order Proposal Submission unless otherwise specified.
Terms changed across amendments. The due date moved from 21 Sep to 14 Oct to 28 Oct, the set-aside and task order range ($25M to $30M) changed, and Amendment 003 itself was not provided, so check SAM.gov for the latest documents.
