Things to watch (11)
From the version posted Oct 19, 2026.
- Serious: Only four MACC holders may bid. Unless you hold one of the four listed M&R MACC contracts, you cannot submit a proposal; teaming with a holder is the only way in.
- Serious: Secret clearance for the site supervisor. The one person who serves as Superintendent, Quality Control manager and Site Safety and Health Officer must hold a Secret-level clearance, which a business without a cleared employee may not be able to supply.
- Worth checking: U.S. citizens and trustworthiness checks for secure-area work. Workers on electronic security equipment must be U.S. citizens who passed a trustworthiness determination, which limits who can staff the job.
Show all 11Show fewer
- Worth checking: Bonds depend on the price. A payment bond is needed above $35,000; above $150,000 a bid bond must come with the proposal or it is removed from consideration.
- Worth checking: Fire alarm test plan review 60 days before testing. Test procedures must be reviewed by the qualified fire protection engineer (QFPE) 60 days before system tests, while all work must finish within 90 calendar days after award.
- Minor: Pre-proposal questions due November 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM local time. Questions must come from the prime contractor on the Master PPI Form; this form is attached but wasn't read.
- Minor: Award without discussions. The Government may award on the first offers received, so there may be no chance to lower your price.
- Minor: Davis-Bacon wage determination applies. Pay at least the posted rates in General Decision NC20260018 for building work.
- Minor: Limits on subcontracting apply. The limitations on subcontracting clause caps how much of the work can go to other firms; the percentage isn't in the text that was read.
- Minor: Outages need written approval 15 days ahead. Fire alarm and other utility interruptions need a written request with a contingency plan, and work outside regular hours needs approval.
- Minor: Funding may not become available. If funds are not available, no award will be made and proposal costs are not reimbursed.
