The U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa have awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract with a $96 million ceiling value to the Italian construction firm Battistella S.P.A. The contract, designated as the Italy Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC), will primarily support construction, repair, renovation, and facility maintenance projects at Aviano Air Base and other locations in Italy over the contract's one-year base period and four option years. Services under the MACC contract may include work across multiple trades such as grading, utilities, HVAC, electrical, and infrastructure.
Task orders awarded to date under the MACC include installing an overhead crane, repairing electrical substations, constructing a concrete pad and utilities, building an overhang, and renovating facilities for explosive ordnance disposal. These firm fixed-price delivery orders, ranging from $94,000 to $2.3 million, demonstrate the Air Force's ability to rapidly contract with Battistella for critical infrastructure support as needed at its bases in Italy. The MACC contract was competitively awarded without any set-aside designations, leveraging Battistella's specialized construction capabilities to sustain U.S. defense operations and personnel across the region.
