Things to watch (9)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: Only Tinker AFB MAC BOA holders can bid. The order proposal is closed to everyone but current BOA holders, so a firm without one cannot compete; subcontractors must work through a prime.
- Serious: Registration closed Oct 20, 2026. If registering was required to take part, ask the contracting officer whether late registration is allowed.
- Serious: Bid guarantee of at least 20%. A bid guarantee in the proper form and amount is required, and a missing or improper one may get the offer rejected.

- Worth checking: Funds not yet available. The Government owes no payment until funds are made available and the contracting officer confirms it in writing, and it may decline to award at all.
- Worth checking: Design responsibility is part of the job. Offers must show a commitment to take sole responsibility for both design and construction, which a construction-only firm may need a design subcontractor to meet.
- Worth checking: One weak technical subfactor ends the offer. Pass or fail scoring means a single deficiency in any subfactor makes the whole offer unacceptable and ineligible for award.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wage rates apply. The solicitation includes the Construction Wage Rate Requirements clause, and a Davis-Bacon wage determination (the Labor Department's minimum pay rates for construction workers), OK20260049, for Oklahoma County building work is attached.
- Worth checking: Liquidated damages of $227.75 per day. The contractor pays this amount for each calendar day the work runs past the completion time.
- Minor: Base badges needed before work. Every worker must hold an AFMC Form 387 contractor badge before starting, which takes advance planning for base access.
