DECA Streamlined Construction Improvement Program III

The Defense Commissary Agency established this Master IDIQ on May 23, 2012, for design/build and traditional design/bid/build construction of new commissary facilities, additions and alterations (ADAL) to existing commissaries, and Central Distribution and Retail Centers across the United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico, and other commissary locations where host nation agreements permit. Ordering closed on May 24, 2017, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The program ran through 2018, with peak activity concentrated in 2016 when 15 orders were placed. A total of 32 task orders worth $156.1 million in combined potential value were awarded; all obligated funds have been drawn down. Competition is heavily concentrated: Summit Construction, Inc. holds 19 of the 32 orders (59%) valued at $129 million, followed by E.z. Mechanical, Inc. with 5 orders ($22.2 million), and CCG - Davitz, L.L.C. with 3 orders ($4.9 million). These three firms account for 91 percent of all task orders by count and the entire combined value. The remaining five awardees collectively received only one order each, for nominal amounts. Single-customer ordering through DeCA characterized the entire vehicle lifecycle.

Task orders were predominantly unrestricted, with 21 orders (66 percent) receiving no set-aside designation. Small business received 9 orders (28 percent), including one 8(a) sole-source award and one competitive 8(a) order. Typical order values ranged from $243,984 to $13.7 million; the largest single award was $13.7 million for commissary building maintenance and repair. Minimum guarantee payments of $5,000 were issued to four awardees at vehicle inception. Work was performed at diverse commissary locations nationwide and overseas, with representative orders for architectural and refrigeration upgrades, new construction, and HVAC/refrigerant system replacement. All task orders employed firm fixed pricing.

The Defense Commissary Agency, Contracting Directorate Construction Design Branch (HQ DeCA/AMDF), has awarded this Master IDIQ as a follow-on to the Streamlined Construction Improvement Program. Work under this vehicle includes design/build and traditional design/bid/build construction of new commissary facilities, addition/alternation (ADAL) to existing commissaries, new and ADAL to Central Distribution Centers & Retail Centers (Commissaries & Exchanges), in the United States to include Hawaii and Alaska, Guam and Puerto Rico; and other commissary locations where permitted by Host Nation agreements.
