Charleston District SDVOSB Design-Bid-Build MATOC

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Charleston established a five-contractor service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) MATOC with a shared ceiling of $99 million on July 19, 2023, with ordering authority extending through January 18, 2029. The vehicle procures design-build and design-bid-build general construction services, primarily for Department of Veterans Affairs facility projects, with the three-year base period plus two-year option structure completed and ordering fully active.

Activity has been moderate and declining. The vehicle awarded 17 task orders between August 2023 and January 2026, with ordering velocity of 5 orders in 2023, 6 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 1 through early 2026. Combined task-order potential value stands at $56 million against the $99 million ceiling, with $52 million (93% of potential value) already obligated. Competition is highly concentrated: Advon Corporation holds 8 orders representing $42.8 million in combined potential value, nearly 77% of all work awarded. Boyer Commercial Construction Inc. and Billy W. Jarrett Construction Company, Inc. follow with $7.9 million and $5.3 million respectively. Two additional awardees each hold single orders valued at $1 thousand (minimum guarantees).

Work concentrates with the Charleston District itself, which accounts for 16 of 17 orders totaling $54.9 million in combined potential value. Nearly all recent orders carry VA mission scope: whole center renovations, fiber optic infrastructure, generator installations, and building caging projects at Fort Jackson, Waco, Jacksonville, and Lynchburg. The set-aside mix is split: 53% of orders carry no set-aside designation (9 orders), 29% are SDVOSB sole-source (5 orders), and 18% are total small business (3 orders). Individual order ceilings range from $1 thousand minimum guarantees to $13.5 million (the VA clinic at Jacksonville), with typical non-minimum-guarantee orders ranging from roughly $1.7 million to $10.7 million. Completion dates generally fall within 18 to 27 months of award.

The Government's purpose in establishing a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with a target pool of five (5) contractors in order to provide Design Build (DB) services primarily for SAC's program to support the Department of Veteran's Affairs. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide a readily available contract tool that will enable the Charleston District (SAC) to proactively and responsively execute the construction, renovation and repair requirements identified by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) or other partners of the Charleston District.
