About this file
This is a Memorandum for Record documenting the minutes from a pre-bid conference and site visit for solicitation W50S87-26-B-A002, a construction project for the 145th Airlift Wing. The conference was held on June 2, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST and lasted one hour. Government representatives included MSGT Sarah Marshall (Contract Specialist) and Mr. Hansen Pedersen (Base Civil Engineer/COR). The contract period is 360 calendar days, including all work, cleanup, and punch list activities, with anticipated award in mid-September 2026. Following receipt and approval of bonds, the Government will hold a pre-construction conference and issue a Notice to Proceed (NTP).
All interested offerors must be registered in SAM (System for Award Management) at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. Written technical questions must be submitted via email to scott.thomas.53@us.af.mil and sarah.marshall.6@us.af.mil; contractors are prohibited from contacting design or government engineers directly. All contractor questions, answers, amendments, and correspondence will be posted to SAM.gov. The memorandum clarifies that an incorrect answer was provided during the conference regarding award determination. The correct answer is governed by DFARS 252.236-7007 (Additive or Deductive Items), which specifies that the low offeror is determined by offering the lowest aggregate amount for the base bid plus additive or deductive items (in priority order) that provide the most features within available Government funds. The Contracting Officer may award any combination of items if it is in the Government's best interest, funds are available, and the low offeror's price is less than any other responsive, responsible offeror.

DFARS 252.236-7007 ADDITIVE OR DEDUCTIVE ITEMS (DEC 1991)
(a) The low offeror and the items to be awarded shall be determined as follows—
(1) Prior to the opening of bids, the Government will determine the amount of funds available for the project.
(2) The low offeror shall be the Offeror that—
(i) Is otherwise eligible for award; and
(ii) Offers the lowest aggregate amount for the first or base bid item, plus or minus (in the order stated in the list of priorities in the bid schedule) those additive or deductive items that provide the most features within the funds determined available.
(3) The Contracting Officer shall evaluate all bids on the basis of the same additive or deductive items.
(i) If adding another item from the bid schedule list of priorities would make the award exceed the available funds for all offerors, the Contracting Officer will skip that item and go to the next item from the bid schedule of priorities; and
(ii) Add that next item if an award may be made that includes that item and is within the available funds.
(b) The Contracting Officer will use the list of priorities in the bid schedule only to determine the low offeror. After determining the low offeror, an award may be made on any combination of items if—
(1) It is in the best interest of the Government;
(2) Funds are available at the time of award; and
(3) The low offeror's price for the combination to be awarded is less than the price offered by any other responsive, responsible offeror.
(c) Example¡ The amount available is $100,000. Offeror A's base bid and four additives (in the order stated in the list of priorities in the bid Schedule) are $85,000, $10,000, $8,000, $6,000, and $4,000. Offeror B's base bid and four additives are $80,000, $16,000, $9,000, $7,000, and $4,000. Offeror A is the low offeror. The aggregate amount of offeror A's bid for purposes of award would be $99,000, which includes a base bid plus the first and fourth additives. The second and third additives were skipped because each of them would cause the aggregate bid to exceed $100,000.
7. The pre-bid conference and site visit concluded at 1000 hours.
