We are an Idaho-based contractor currently registered with SAM.gov. However, we noticed that our company is not listed as a contractor for this advertised project.

Could you please advise why our company is not appearing on the contractor list and whether there are any additional registration requirements or steps we need to complete to be included on this one or any other future project proposals?

2 X What qualified them to bid on this project?

The contractors eligible to bid on Project ID

FLAP ADA 2019(1) are prime contract holders under the Idaho, Montana, and

Surrounding Areas Multiple Award Task

Order Contract (MATOC). These contractors were qualified and selected through a full and open competitive process evaluated by the Western Federal Lands Highway

Division. During that evaluation, offerors were assessed on their technical capabilities, past performance, and pricing structure to receive a base MATOC

Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity

(IDIQ) contract award. Under the MATOC structure, individual task orders (such as this project) are issued exclusively to this pool of pre-qualified prime contract holders.

3 X Was there a communication about becoming a bidder for this?

Yes. The open public communication to become an eligible bidder occurred when the overarching MATOC solicitation was advertised on SAM.gov in 2025. That advertisement was the public opportunity for any interested contractor to submit a proposal to join the regional MATOC program.

For individual task orders issued under an established MATOC, solicitations are issued directly to the existing MATOC prime contract holders. While non-MATOC contractors cannot submit proposals as prime contractors on these task orders, you are encouraged to review the public notices on SAM.gov for subcontracting and teaming opportunities with the designated MATOC prime contractors.
