Bahrain and UAE Construction MACC 2012-2017

Naval Facilities Engineering Command established this regional construction Master IDIQ on September 30, 2012, to support design-build, modified design-build, and design-bid-build projects at Bahrain and UAE installations, but ordering closed on September 29, 2017, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle is fully closed. The last task order was awarded on January 5, 2014—over 12 years ago—and no new orders may be placed. Fifteen delivery orders were awarded across the vehicle's active period, with ordering momentum concentrated in late 2012 and throughout 2013; only a single order issued in 2014. All $3.2 million of combined potential value has been obligated, leaving no remaining capacity.

Awarded work covered design-build construction of fire stations, weapons-cleaning facilities, utilities infrastructure, electrical and mechanical repairs, shade structures, and antenna shelters. Tasks included design documentation, geotechnical investigation, abatement and sampling, shop drawings, construction administration, and incorporation of AT/FP, security, communications, fire protection, and life safety systems. Representative orders ranged from $10 thousand to $496.5 thousand; typical durations ran three to six months with frequent time extensions reflecting government delays.

Kooheji Contractors W.l.l. dominated the awardee base, holding seven orders valued at $1.9 million (roughly 59% of combined potential value). United Infrastructure Projects Fzco followed with four orders at $890 thousand, while Al Musairie National General Trading and Contracting Co., P & S Construction Inc., and two undisclosed foreign awardees split the remainder. The awardee mix reflects the vehicle's regional scope and customer requirement for local construction expertise.

Customer funding was split between Department of the Navy Installations Command (seven orders, $1.3 million) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (six orders, $1.2 million), with minor orders from Naval Forces Central Command and US Pacific Fleet Forces. All 15 task orders carried no set-aside designation. Performance locations included Naval Support Activity Bahrain, Mina Salman in Manama, and UAE installations.

This vehicle is closed to new pursuit. Existing awardees with remaining contract relationships or performance history under the 2012–2017 period may be relevant for successor vehicles or current regional NAVFAC procurements.
