MacDill MACC 4.0 - Q&A - 15AUG25.pdf

2025 MACC 4.0 Industry Day (MacDill AFB) Questions & Answers

Q1: Can you go into a little more in depth on the requirements of the background check, what issues would prevent access to the base?

A1: Background check we will run through the National Criminal Information Center.

MacDill has a matrix of crimes, offenses that were committed, and how long they are barred from entering the installation for. A lot of offences are minor and might just be a one-year debarment of sorts. As long as the person doesn't have three offenses in the past year, the access is approved. If the person had ever been in jail for homicide, murder, manslaughter, they would be denied access. If they have a warrant for them, then we will confirm the warrant with the agency: if it is extraditable, then we'll go ahead and detain them, contact Tampa, Tampa Police will pick them up. A lot of out of the state warrants are for traffic moving violations or failure to appear in court. A lot of times the failure to appear is because of the traffic tickets were not paid. And a big one - put out for the arrest. A person is here in Tampa, and the record is out of Washington State. The county of record has to pay for all expenses related to flying here or bringing that individual back to them. The odds are that it won’t happen, MacDill will just deny access to base.

At the end of the day, they're still denied, they're not being arrested and going anywhere.

However, if they committed an offense, and the charges were dropped, sometime agencies aren`t good at updating it in the system. If they have a certified copy from the courthouse of the adjudication on the final disposition of their case, we could still allow them onto the installation. Proper paperwork can fix the issue.

The same thing goes for any foreign national. That'll work either for you or your subcontractors. The easiest way is to hire the U.S. citizens. And with the change in the current Administration, they are stricter on immigration in general. And those effects can be seen at MacDill as well. Example is when a foreign national, who is illegally here, tries to come through the gates because they got a job as a day laborer cutting grass.

The results are negative.

If you can, prevent this in advance.

Q2: What amount/percentage of the construction related solicitations put out by the 6th Contracting Squadron are SDVOSB or VOSB set asides?

A2: Right now, we are not tracking that we have any on the map. We have Women Owned Small Business on the MACC but only utilize a general small business classification.

I don't know if they were, but currently we don't have any SDVOSB or VOSB on the MACC.

If you are a small business in any capacity, for the MACC you won't compete within categories. And generally, we have just done a total small business set aside.

If you're a small business, once on the MACC, you compete solely with the MACC contractors.

Some of 6 CONS other flights, like Special Acquisition Flight, Performance Management Flight, have requirements that were awarded SD, BOSB, VOSB through competition or through targeted set-aside category because we didn't have a lot of participation under that socio-economic category in the area.

Not for construction.

Q3: Has the government considered that requiring primarily US citizens will drive labor cost? Please consider this in your budget allocation.

A3: Labor cost is governed by the Department of Labor. If labor category classification amounts go up, they're going to go up. And we're going to have to adhere to it because those are the regulations. So yes, it is being considered, we have thought about that, but as of right now, I don't know that we've actually seen an increase immediately in some of the projects that we have.

You can find Wage Determination information on SAM.gov or you can check the Department of Labor website. This can provide you with more information on any Executive Orders that come down directly to them on process changes and related things.

Q4: Will you consider best value selection that considers experience, qualifications, and capabilities versus lowest price?

A4: That's correct. That's the intent of the actual MACC solicitation. However, once you are on the MACC, the task orders are primarily going to be awarded as low price. As mentioned before, we are still working out a lot of details, but that's how MACC 3.0 works right now, and it's working pretty well.

And as Mr. Phillips previously mentioned, once you're on the MACC, we already know you're a competent, good contractor, and we want to work with you. We're not reassessing every task order. However, to get on the initial MACC, yes, expect a best value trade-off. For task orders as well, we have the capability to do that if we feel it's necessary due to the magnitude or specific requirement. There are some instances when we do LPTA and it's usually associated with flightline related requirements or things that are of major impact to the installation and our overall mission. Our flightline projects usually have more of a technical evaluation element because we want to make sure that it doesn't stop functioning.

This isn't always us assessing again whether or not you can do it, it’s more so ensuring you understand the scope of what's going on and what it takes to successfully complete the project.

But on unique elements, we may incorporate some technical stuff like specific subcontractors you might have to hire with specific certifications, specific experience.

But the majority of them will be the lowest price.

Q5: Can we collaborate with the design phase?

A5: Is that collaborating with CE or collaborating with a Subcontractor to do the design? We`ll answer both.

In terms of collaboration when you have questions or are uncertain of the design intent, then yes, CE will definitely step in with our engineers to help with that. You will be responsible for the design: having your own design, your own design specialist.

To add on to that, because it brings up something that we've recently been asked quite a bit too. Just so you guys know, when we do a design phase, it does not run concurrently with the construction phase. So that's something I understand off-base gets done a lot, but for us, you have to finish the design before we let you start construction. It is a government thing based on lower MacDill’s risk.

When you get a 35% design requirement, there will be design meetings, design review processes: when you get 35% design from us, we`ll do 65% Design Review Meeting

(DRM), 95% DRM, 100% DRM. The Government makes comments, or we talk things out and figure out a way forward. There is a lot of collaboration between the Government personnel and contractors, including the contractor that works for the Government, that does some of the design support.

Q6: Will you consider allowing procurement and construction to begin on approved elements in advance of final design completion? Why do we split it up? Is it in the FAR?

A6: No, it’s Risk Management. Once we get into construction, we want the schedule to be as short as possible. We want to prevent the risk of starting construction and then having an issue that design dragging out the process.

Q6a: It seems a little more unique. I don't understand why we can't do engineering processes.

A6a: It`s a little more unique here at MacDill than on some other bases. There are definitely instances where we may allow it. Depending on mission requirements, we will allow construction to start while still choosing that paint color, but for smaller things like that.

We can work it out on a case-by-case basis. Main point: we don't want to start construction if we don't have everything ready to go because if there's any point where there's a failure, it could impact the mission. We will make sure we have all the submittals and designs approved before we start construction. We need to make sure everything on site is available for you, the contractor. Once construction starts, we're just ripping through it, because a lot of people from the workforce are typically moved to a different location. Additionally, space is very limited on base for storing supplies and equipment. We're trying to get people out and get them back to where they're supposed to be working as early as possible. The main purpose is to have everything available for use, and a site prepared for construction so we can get in and out without hiccups.

We're a little bit unique in our CE support. Here the majority of CE are civilian. Here almost all CE functions are contracted out, other than your government subject matter experts. The contractor that is assisting with those designs and other things, they're also getting evaluated on their products. There's an intertwining of contractors there.

Q7: Did the Government encounter issues with existing contractors' inability to complete projects with multiple projects going on? What caused it? How did MACC 3.0 go from 19 to 5 contractors?

A7: Yes, we did experience some contractors having difficulty juggling multiple projects, and you kind of want to know what the common denominator was. A lot of it was the flow or scheduling. A lot of it was them getting stuck in design reviews or getting stuck in construction issues where they had blocks and they lost time on their Periods of Performances and so they were unsuccessful finishing on time. Some of them had issues closing out contracts. A lot of this had to do with their schedule and getting into the battle rhythm of how we operate here at MacDill.

Having people working, having subs show up on time, having subs stay on site. We had situations where subs walked off sites and then the prime contractors had to come and tell us they didn't have a sub anymore.

We try to help mitigate this as much as we can by trying to help you get through your schedule and see if there's any foreseeable hurdles that we can help you navigate.

But ultimately, we rely heavily on our contracted teams to manage their own projects.

And we try to put a lot of that in their hands so there's not a government-controlled schedule, but the one where they can navigate comfortably.

Once we're in construction, we're just checking on progress. We try not to get in the way a lot. We will try to let you manage your project and your timelines. And so that was the biggest issue with some of them.

Another one – participation in bidding. About 50% participation is what we are looking for in all proposals. Some were not putting in enough bids, possibly due to being overworked and they didn't want any more work, it ended up working against them.

We are talking about a way to change that though. We're trying to figure it out if you are an excellent performer, but you just can't bid enough because of your saturation limit, we'll review your quality of work.

So that's kind of why the contract slumped down since participation and it was scheduling conflicts that they just couldn't find ways around. Does anybody have any questions on what he said? Okay, I just want to go back to the discussion about design build.

Q8: With the government limiting the use of equipment or suppliers with so much work coming, isn't it creating its own bottleneck?

A8: So right now, the government did a trend analysis. We were having issues with many chillers. We tried new technology. There was a Smart Chiller that ended up failing.

And also, we wanted to standardize to better be able to service and train our technicians on that equipment. So, we went with, we did a training analysis, and it determined that Carrier systems seem to be better when it comes to chillers. Right now, we've got to have to use Carrier.

Suppliers, I'm not so sure. I don't think we have a limitation when it comes to suppliers.

And the other thing is most of our fire systems are Monaco. They got proprietary for their mass notification.

More options create more flexibility. There are also limits like builder technologies, where we have to be able to maintain this equipment and service it.

There are pros and cons to it, so two things. One, sometimes when we do this, well, first of all, you're absolutely right, we do bottleneck ourselves. You're right. And sometimes we do have a J&A that's from the Air Force level and says you have to use this. And the way we try to help us, help you, help us is when in situations with long lead items or when you're stuck waiting for delivery or you're working with a single technician, we try to give you grace and discuss it with you on when you can have the technician come in, when you can have the supply come in, because we know there's a lot of demand for it.

Usually if you communicate with us early, then we can say, okay, this is an excusable delay because of supplier delay, it's out of your control.

We try our best not to hold it against you as long as we're notified early enough to do something about it.

Q9: What is the best process to expedite design and submittal review and issue resolution?

A9: As you know we have experienced reduced manning recently. In order to avoid the delay is to just get it right from the beginning, that way we don't have to disapprove and come back again. You know we have all the risks mentioned before, all the codes and all the compliances that you have to meet. So as long as you go over that and set up the right material for equipment, the submittal process should be easy. Not much that we can expedite. It's already part of POP. I think there's definitely some other solutions out there that we can explore. Like, instead of negotiating and doing low price, maybe we're negotiating the schedule. And having you propose your own schedule. And then we`ll look at the price, we'll look at the schedule, and put you in more control of the project, your schedule to control that.

One more way to expedite it is to be as proactive as possible. I'll give you an example.

Sometimes when a submittal is sent in, if you are familiar with the submittal form, there are minor issues, mislabeling, things like that. We usually try to fix them for you and push them through just because we don't want to send them back losing time. We don't want to disapprove them because it slows us down as well. And then we have to remember if we didn't disapprove it, and that gets hard when we have so many other things going on.

And when I say proactive, ask us about the status midway. Is it going to be back on time?

If not, I need more time. I need time back. But being proactive about it helps us track it with you. Same thing with the designs. We usually hold what we call a design review meeting - DRM. In this meeting, we figure out what the issues are. We also try to get it approved with comments. But a lot of times it's really on how fast you and your team turn stuff around: if after DRM it takes you three weeks to get it back to us with the comments adjusted, then that's three weeks you might lose. But if you get it back within two, three days, we'll push it back through.

We lose our military members due to change of stations, deployments, that's the nature of the military, ensure they aren’t the single person receiving your submittals.

Another thing when you get the submittal that was disapproved, pay attention to the comments. Make sure that you are addressing every one of them. There are instances we get resubmittal, and we have to put the same comment back because it wasn’t fixed.

Also, if we keep disapproving a submittal, ask us for a meeting. Don't be shy to ask for our help.

Q10: What analytical criteria is used to discriminate between approved as noted versus disapproval of submitted documents?

A10: First go-to is the McDill design guide. It tells you exactly what we're looking for.

And if we don't have that information, then we have to disapprove.

Typically, we put the specification of exactly what we're looking for, in AF66, that's the submittal registry statement work. Especially when it comes to designs, we give design specs for each iteration, 65%, 95%, 100, and we outline on a checklist everything we need to see.

We try to put all required information clearly in the design package. We recently saw a commercial design approval Matrix, but it doesn't completely fit our processes, but that is something we’re considering and working on fixing internally to try to expediate the process for you guys.

Q11: Are we penalized for not bidding on projects which are not funded?

A11: Let's talk about the MACC Pool of 20. Authority to Advertise and the Pool of 20.

Authority to Advertise can come in multiple forms. right now, for example, we have a Memorandum for Record (MFR) that is an authority to advertise for specific projects.

When these MFRs come out, they say, MacDill Air Force Base has an authority to solicit without fundings for the things in the following category. That’s when we send requirements to you. Also, on the Pool of 20, which is our internal ATA for the MACC, we'll also solicit. Now in each of these solicitations, we will identify the reason. We will say Pool of 20 at the top, or we'll say Authority to Advertise, and then we give you a notice that says it's a notice to offeror that funds that are not presently available. For the Pool of 20 you might need to hold onto your pricing for a while. When dealing with Authority to Advertise, there is a possibility the project won’t be funded, and it will have to be canceled. All solicited projects count against your participation rate, and if you choose not to bid, because you say, I know it's not funded, I'm not going to bid on it, it changes your participation percentage.

We would encourage you to bid on it regardless, however we are considering doing something different to try to help you out with that because we understand it's difficult to bid all the time.

The ultimate goal is you participating so we have competition, so we can assess and find price fair and reasonable on these contracts. If you don't participate, it will make it difficult for us. We are trying to find a happy medium though. On the MACC 3.0, it did count against you. When we say we have Authority to Advertise, it means we do not have funding, but there is a reasonable expectation that we will get it. The project won't make it onto the list unless we have the reasonable expectation it will be funded. On the Pool of 20 we have a pretty good rate of funding, and the intent is if we put it out there, we're going to fund every project that we solicit from you, otherwise, you are wasting your time and your money putting together proposals for us. As well as the Government`s administrative work and effort. We need you to trust us in the future.

Q12: This is a two-part question. First, based on the lessons learned on MACC 3.0, how is the Government working to incorporate the lessons learned into MACC 4.0? And are more contractors intended to correct some of the unique elements identified?

A12: For the first part of the question, we want to get your feedback. We started early in this process and talked about the team, the communication, the transparency, the partnership. We're meeting weekly to go over the new Statement of Work. We're looking at the feedback that we get when we do each section. We're trying to make it clearer not only to benefit you, but benefit us as well, so we are still able to enforce and follow.

However, it also benefits you because we don't want to go back and repeat something that wasn't necessarily good if we received negative feedback.

On the second part. I think that's a good thing, a bigger pool of contractors. A lot of that is our research and the feedback we get.

Based on historical data and projects we have, we haven’t finalized the number yet but it’s a part of our acquisition strategy, and we are looking at it weekly. Industry Day is an outreach we need to see how many vendors are interested in the MACC. It's a big part of it right here and within our research and strategy going forward.

We asked our incumbent contractors how they felt about us, if they liked us or not. And they were honest. They said we had some problems here. We have some things we need to work on. That is why we are meeting weekly to figure out how not to shoot ourselves in the foot, how we avoid hurting the contractors. We are incorporating all that feedback into our plan for moving to the next stage.

To answer the second question, the unique elements, and I think you were talking about the chart that I had up, not all of them, were bad things.

As far as more contractors correcting it, that's not what we were looking for. We are looking for more contractors because, one, it's time. And two, the goal is obviously competition and to get some new blood on the installation: new blood, new perspectives, new ideas, new solutions, new partnerships, new business relationships.

We're looking for new opportunities for both the contractors and us to get some good work done.

We weren't looking for fixes. Those unique elements most likely aren't changing. We're going to find ways so that they don't actually do any harm to anyone, but they're probably not going away. With the continued support of Patrick Space Force and the Pool of 20, these things probably aren't going away with more contractors. The goal is definitely NEW. New and awesome.

Q13: I believe this would be in a contingency situation, but the question is, can you use 772 PKB IDIQs for decentralized ordering if needed?

Tyndall AFB, as it stands right now, I don't believe we have an agreement with Tyndall, like we do with Patrick. Patrick specifically asked us to modify MACC 3.0 to include contingencies for them so that their contracting officers over there could order off of it if they lost their capabilities. They modified theirs to include MacDill Air Force Base. We haven't done that with Tyndall, which is probably a great idea. But we haven't done that with Tyndall. So, no, we don't have the authority to order off their MACC or vice versa.

Q14: Is FOIA the best way to obtain information on competing proposals after selection or to review contract documents on completed projects?

A14: Information is proprietary or protected information for that company. FOIA request is the best way to get it because we're not going to get that information out. FOIA will be the best way if you want to see why the price was specific. However, FOIA is going to be a long, drawn-out process. It may or may not cost you money.

If you want to know the name of the incumbent, what is the overall dollar value is, the Contracting Officer and Contracting Administrator can provide it. We usually give you certain elements right after the award. Everything we do is going to be public knowledge. You all should be able to go out there and find the information as well. We'll just be able to package it a little bit better for you.

Q15: If your projects have a component for addressing contaminated media, would that be included as part of the scope of these RFPs or would those contaminants be addressed under a separate environmental remediation contract?

A15: No, they would be included in our project. We have a program to restore the base.

But if we're doing a civil project or have to dig in the ground, that will have to be addressed in that current task order. All those requirements will be in the package.

Q16: Will there be any CMMC requirements, specifically CMMC LVL 2, in accordance with the recent USACE posting in SAM and the number of SCIF facilities on the installation?

Talking about classifications. Classified source elections. Classified and controlled information. It's what the government determines as classified and controlled information.

With CMMC contractors, we are required to meet two criteria. One is the FCI, federal contract information for protection. That is at CMMC level one. Then at level two CUI comes into play. It’s about the data you are sharing with us (maybe design information or something that is proprietary). That is something that we have to do in terms of documents associated:

abide by two different standards. One, the government's CUI of the things we cover under controlled information, and then from contractor`s perspective, and information proprietary for a contractor.

The trend is that for most small businesses, our company is CMMC the level 1 certified, and we are working on the true certification. Most small businesses are not CMMC level 2. We are seeing that on other Air Force contracts. And what it is, it's cybersecurity requirements.

So it might be, does your facility have locked entry weights? And what you do is your self-score yourself.

But then you have to get a certain score. And if you haven't done that, the Air Force is not going to win a contract. It's no bargaining. And it flows down to subcontractors, too. It could be several hundred thousand dollars to become compliant.

It's a pretty big issue.

A16: Most what we see is that things kind of lean towards the FCI, which is government control information, which we are required to protect any time when we start things. I don't think we've dealt with anything like that. I'm not familiar with it. That's something we have to research and post it together with the slides and Q&A. We will post it on www.sam.gov. (Please check the following attachments: CMMC General Info (MACC 4.0 Industry Day Q16), CMMC Scoping Guide 1, CMMC Scoping Guide 2, CMMC Scoping Guide 3).

Q17: For each task order you are requesting pricing on, does the AF require a technical narrative and cost breakout by construction division or a lump sum price? (Is technical narrative required for all bids) We are on multiple MACC’s and all agencies do it differently.

A17: Yes, we do. We provide an Air Force Form 3052, a blank one, and we list all the tasks on there. We just blank out the quantities, the lump sums, it's based on labor, materials, the divisions, each of the divisions of the construction that we're doing. And we'll ask you to fill that out as much as possible because, especially if we're doing modifications, we're in a sole-source environment. All we have is our estimate vs. what you're telling us.

http://www.sam.gov/

We have to fully understand what you guys are asking or what you guys are doing so we can understand. Maybe if it's something we missed, it did not include something that you identified.

Q18: Do you have a list of project types, avg values and number of projects planned to be awarded over the term of the contract? Anticipated number of projects to be awarded per year? Anticipated number of contractors to be awarded to the MACC? When does the MACC

3.0 end and 4.0 begin? Are most of the contracts are design/build? All these questions help plan for proper staffing.

AQ18: There are things that are programmed within the units like CENTCOM and SOCOM. They have to develop those long-range plans and have them programmed so they can get the funding from the Congress.

We have a five-year plan. That's where we take the project from most of the time. We have a list of projects for the upcoming years. I don't think we're going to solicit them unless we have the attempt that we're going to fund them.

MACC 3.0 ends in March 2027, MACC 4.0 immediately after. Solicitation will come out around March 2026.

Most of the contracts designed/build, very few with 100% design, just build. Probably 90% to 95% are design-build, and most of those are 35% design-build.

Q19: Do you have a definite solicitation number yet that we can follow on Sam.gov?

A19: No. Contracts starting with FA4814 are MacDill, and we don't yet know the last numbers. Search “MACC” and “construction” under contracting opportunities in SAM.

Q20: How often do you require invoices to be submitted?

A20: You can submit them as often as you like though we do progress reports bi-weekly, every two weeks, covering the 1st through 15th and then the 16th through the end of the month. As soon as we have an approved progress report, you can get paid, and that’s twice a month, but progress dependent so you may get paid once or less a month if there's less or no progress for that timeframe. And if there's 0% progress, then there's no payment associated with that. We do request progress reports to be submitted every two weeks, even if you're at a 0%.

Q21: Will specialty type work be included under this vehicle? SCIF was mentioned as an example.

A21: CENTCOM and SOCOM have entire buildings as CSS. There are complications working in those facilities, they have sensitive information in there. It's the nature of their work but we provide support to you, information and help with scheduling to make sure that you are ultimately successful during those projects. KC-46 is another one type where additional security information protocols are put in place. As for construction services under the MACC, there is a roofing Air Force-wide contract that is currently expired. They are in the process of building a new one, so right now we do everything through the MACC. Once the Air Force roofing contact comes back online, all the roofing requirements will go through that contact. However, some of our construction content will still have roofing elements along with other work, we'll keep it on the MACC.

Q22: Permitting- is it County or City?

A22: It is a federal installation. For the most part, it is being handled in-house.

Primarily, most of your permitting will be here on base. There is a permitting process you're going to need on our federal installation which is handled inside of CE squadron.

And anything that does go outside of it, we`ll notify you in advance. The Task Order that will come from the proposal will have the permitting listed in there. We let you know early.

Q23: How can I download the MacDill Design Guide?

A23: MacDill Design Guide is available on www.wbdg.org. That is also where you can find all the UFCs. You can easily find it by searching for MacDill Design Guide, WBDG.

The guide is updated annually. The next update will be around mid-February.

Q24: What is the best way to get organizational charts and contract contact lists for 6 CONS and 6 CES?

http://www.wbdg.org/

A24: The email address 6CONS.PKC.MACC4@us.af.mil. Send us your questions and information. We will provide you with POCs.

Q25: Thank you for your honesty on funding delays/timeline. An example was given of up to 5 months. Is it possible to allow the contractor to move forward if they are capable of funding the change in scope while awaiting the funds approval? Time delays almost always cost the contractor more than the change being approved.

A25: A contractor is capable of working at risk, however unless a change is memorialized by a funded modification, we would not recommend working at risk.

Q26: What are the typical field staffing requirements? Super and QC/SSHO Or Tri-hatOr???

A26: Tri-Hat is permitted, but this person must be dedicated and on-site at all times work is being performed.

****** Discussion Point for this response: This question is based on the USACE CQ/CM specification which requires a separate person for each role but, with exception, allows a double hat for QC & SSHO, to be on site at all times. The current MACC is not set up that way, and allows a single person (tri-hat) to fulfil all three roles. This person must be dedicated and on site at all times work is being performed.

Q27: What vehicle do you recommend to find quality trade partners that have a good performance record on base for task order pricing.

A27: Contractors will need to do market research to source quality partners.

Q28: What is the projected dollar range for RFPs? Is there a max dollar amount for RFPs?

A28: The typical task order range is from $200K - $8M. There is no max dollar limit, unless the project is considered minor construction.

Q29: I proposed continuing the non-saturation in the MACC 4.0.

A29: Thank you for your recommendation. We will take this into consideration.

mailto:6CONS.PKC.MACC4@us.af.mil

Q30: Can you explain the expectations between participation requirements and saturation limitations? If a Contractor is considered saturated, are they exempt from participating in new work solicitations and proposals?

A30: We’re considering adding language regarding contractor saturation and its effects on contractor performance, participation, quality, etc.

Q31: Is this MACC only for small business?

A31: We’re still determining our acquisition strategy.

Q32: Your time frame for the award is 14 months from Response to award

A32: We’ll take this into consideration.

Q33: Will there be a UFGS Section 25 05 11—Cybersecurity for Facility-Related Control Systems compliance requirements on the MACC 4.0?

A33: This will depend on funding and AF prioritization. There have been EMCS projects on MACC 3.0 that had to comply with such requirements

Q34: Does MacDill AFB fall under the High Wing Velocity Criteria?

A34: I assume the Contractor means High “Wind” Velocity. MacDill AFB follows UFC 3-301-01 Structural Engineering which defers to ASCE 7 for calculating wind loading on structures. Due to our location in Florida and on the coast, yes, we are subject to higher wind loading than the average location.

Q35: Can you list the specific work experience requirements that will be included in the MACC 4.0, such as, HVAC, Electrical, Civil, Airfield Runway. Also, what will the time limit of the work experience projects be?

A35: HVAC Systems, Fire Protection/Suppression Systems, Alarm Notification Systems, Airfield and Base Paving, Striping, Sealing, Electric Feeder Systems, Renovations (Buildings, Warehouses, Hangars, Bridges, Piers, Docks, Boat Storage), Demolitions, Energy Monitoring Control Systems (EMCS), Q36: Are contractors required to take a break between MACC contracts? Essentially can a contractor be awarded consecutive MACCs?
