The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) awarded a $1.09M firm fixed-price design-build contract to AJ Solutions Sh.p.k., a Kosovo-based construction firm specializing in infrastructure projects across the Balkan region, for the completion of a new Fire Rescue Station in Bitola, North Macedonia. The contract (N33191-25-R-6002), awarded on August 30, 2025, represents work originally solicited through a pre-solicitation notice that outlined a two-phase procurement with a base bid for station design and construction and an optional bid for ancillary site work including parking facilities, retaining walls, utilities, and roadway connections. No set-aside designation was utilized in this competitive procurement, which fell under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.
AJ Solutions Sh.p.k. brings established experience delivering similar infrastructure projects for NAVFAC in southeastern Europe, with a proven track record managing humanitarian assistance and development initiatives across multiple countries. The contractor is responsible for securing all necessary professional certifications, permits, and local regulatory compliance throughout the design and construction phases, with an ultimate completion date of September 21, 2027. This undertaking supports the Department of the Navy's broader strategic posture in the region through facility development that enhances emergency response capabilities in a partner nation.
