The Army (MICC, for U.S. Army Garrison Fort Benning) wants one contractor for a 5-year Job Order Contract: a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery construction contract where work is issued as separate task orders. It is set aside for women-owned small businesses. Work is at Fort Benning (Georgia/Alabama) and satellite sites in Georgia and Florida, with a combined ceiling of up to about $50 million over five years.
Watch out for
- Almost no guaranteed work. The only guaranteed order is $500, so revenue depends entirely on task orders the Army chooses to issue.
The minimum guarantee will be satisfied by a $500 Task Order (TO) that will be issued
- Due date conflict. The attached amendment moves the due date to 08 Oct 2026 while SAM.gov shows 2026-10-22, so a later amendment may exist; confirm with the contracting officer so you do not miss the deadline.
17 Sep 2026 08 Oct 2026
- Evaluation and proposal rules not provided. Sections L and M (how to submit and how the Army picks a winner) and the 74-page statement of work are separate attachments that were not included, so you cannot judge fit or effort from this text.
See Attachment 0011 in Section J, "Section L JOC Instructions to Offerors
- Large dollar ceiling and bonding. Single task orders can run into the millions and may require performance and payment bonds, which can strain a small firm's bonding capacity and cash flow.
Reference Block 12: Performance and Payment Bonds are applicable to individual task orders.
- Possible project labor agreement requirement. The solicitation includes project labor agreement clauses and Davis-Bacon wage rates, which can raise labor costs and paperwork; it is not clear from this text when they apply.
52.222-34 Project Labor Agreement.
- Scattered sites in two or more states. Work spans Georgia, Alabama and Florida sites, which means mobilization, travel and possibly installation access and security requirements.
PROJECT LOCATION: U. S. Army Garrison Fort Benning Georgia/Alabama, Camp Merrill near
- Limited protest rights on task orders. Protests of individual task orders are limited to narrow grounds, so you have little recourse if you lose an order.
