JBER Mini-MACC

Pacific Air Forces established a Master IDIQ for general construction at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska on December 28, 2021, with ordering authority through December 27, 2026—approximately five months remaining. The vehicle is set aside for total small business and targets small-magnitude projects where incidental design services (35% to 95% design completion) are provided by the contractor; work requiring registered architects or professional engineers is reserved for the larger MACC design-build contract.

This vehicle shows minimal recent activity and should be approached as dormant. Four task orders were awarded on the establishment date itself—all post-award orientation meetings valued at $2,000 each—and no delivery orders have been issued since December 2021. The combined potential value across all four orders is $8,000, with 100% obligated against post-award activities only. The vehicle's shared ceiling is $99,999,999, but actual ordering has not materialized into substantive construction work.

Competition is atomized. Four small businesses hold one order each—Tyonek Contractor Services, LLC; Orion Construction, Inc.; Eklutna Construction & Maintenance, LLC; and SD Construction LLC—with no concentration. All four orders are unrestricted (no set-aside designations applied at the task-order level, despite the vehicle's total small-business set-aside status). Work funds Pacific Air Forces exclusively.

The solicitation initially projected task orders ranging from $2,000 to $2,000,000 through fiscal year 2026 across repairs, alterations, and new construction. The gap between the high-end ceiling and four years of zero substantive task orders suggests either that JBER's actual construction needs route through the larger MACC or that ordering has stalled. Pursuit makes sense only if you hold an incumbent position on the vehicle and have visibility into a pipeline of small construction projects at JBER. Bid readiness for entry would require understanding why four years of inactivity followed the December 2021 awards and confirming that ordering resumes before December 2026.

The Mini-MACC contract will continue to complement the larger MACC design-build (DB) contract. The primarily work will consist of multiple disciplines in general construction categories of on-base facilities for JBER, Alaska. Designs provided to Contractor may be as little as 35% design (basic concept) to a 95% design. The design and engineering required is at the level normally expected of a general construction contractor and considered incidental to the accomplishment of the scope of work provided by the Government. Contracts requiring more than incidental design or the services of a registered architect or professional engineer are primarily reserved for the MACC. The Mini-MACC contract fills the small project magnitude, general contractor niche by providing a stable pool of Contractors focused on continued good performance in order to continue to receive future projects.
