About this file
This is a Questions and Answers log documenting inquiries and government responses related to solicitation W51AA126RA002 for Tobyhanna Army Depot's FY26 Multiple Award Task Order Construction Contracts (MATOC). The document does not address specific products or services required, pricing terms, or award details, as these are covered in the base solicitation and related attachments.
The Q&A log addresses 18 inquiries submitted between February 8-13, 2026, with responses primarily from the Army Corps of Engineers (ACC). Key clarifications include: Amendment 0001 removed all DoD SAFE requirements and replaced them with direct email submission instructions to Mr. Justin Marino and Mr. Brian Souter; past performance questionnaires must use the prescribed Attachment 3 form (not CPARS or alternative formats) and be submitted to both designated government points of contact; bonding requirements of $5,000,000 minimum for single projects and $30,000,000 aggregate remain mandatory with no reduction; federal, state, local government, or commercial contracts are acceptable for past performance documentation; there is no seed project for this requirement; the site visit on February 19, 2026, provides an installation overview; and all solicitation documents are posted on SAM.gov, not the PIEE module. The proposal due date remains March 9, 2026, with no extension granted despite requests for additional time following the site visit.

| Question and Answer Log | ||||||||
| Project Name Tobyhanna FY26 MATOC | ||||||||
| Solicitation W51AA126RA002 | ||||||||
| Question | Date | Page # | Section | Para# | QUESTION | GOVERNMENT RESPONSE | RESPONSE PROVIDED BY | |
| 1 | 2/8/26 | 4 | 4 | Please let me know if there is a designated Q&A period or formal channel for questions related to this solicitation. | Reference page 4, section 4 of the RFP for information regarding question and answers format/submission | ACC | ||
| 2 | 2/9/26 | 3,4 | 3 | I want to send a member of my team to come for the site visit so that we can fully evaluate and submit a competitive bid. Please advise | Reference page 3, section 3 of the RFP for information regarding site visit registration process | ACC | ||
| 3 | 2/10/26 | 101 | l | 1.2 | the link on page 101 of the solicitation under L.1.2 (https://safe.apps.mil). Clicking the link took me to a broken page; however, typing in the link manually took me to a page that works took me to contains a notice that says: “DOD SAFE is NOT to be used for contract solicitation or proposal submission. Use the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) for time-sensitive submissions.” Does this mean that PIEE is being using to upload bids for this solicitation? | All DoD Safe requirement/language has been removed from the solicitation via amendment 0001 and replaced with instructions to email all proposal files directly to Mr. Justin Marino and Mr. Brian Souter. See updated section L.1.2 | ACC | |
| 4 | 2/10/26 | The site visit is scheduled for February 19th, which more questions will be developed at the site visit. With that said, RFI’s/Questions will not be answered until a few days after that. We request an extension because we cannot start the bid/proposal process unless this requirement is modified and however long that takes to the get answer will take away the proposal development timeline because we are uncomfortable starting the bid/proposal with the mandatory requirement written as such. | The proposal due date will not be extended at this time. Offerors are encouraged to submit questions early in the process and monitor the SAM.gov posting for updates. | ACC | ||||
| 5 | 2/10/26 | 100 | L | 3.2.3 | The following section states (pg.100): L.3.2.3 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ): For each of the three contracts, the offeror must send a PPQ to the client’s POCs for completion. | |||
| Do the contracts for the Past Performance Questionnaire need to be a federal contract, or can they be a commercial contract? | Updates have been made to sections L3.2.3 and M 4.0 as they now state "Federal, State, Local Government or commercial contracts for the same or similar services as compared to the NAICS 236220" | ACC | ||||||
| 6 | 2/10/26 | 99 | L.3.1.1 | Subfactor 1 | The following section states (pg.99): L.3.1.1 Section 1 - Subfactor 1: Bonding Capacity Provide verification of a single project bonding threshold of at least $5,000,000 and an aggregate bonding threshold of at least $30,000,000. This verification shall be a signed letter from your chosen. | |||
| Does this mean that you need at least/minimum a $5 million-dollar minimum bonding amount for a single project and a 30$ million-dollar aggregate bonding amount. Experience at TYAD during the current MATOC has some projects that are in the 100-to-500-thousand-dollar range. The $5,000,000.00 if I am interpreting it correctly seems excessive and would eliminate many potential small businesses or start up set aside status companies, please clarify. | Confirmed that verification of single project bonding threshold of at least $5,000,000 and an aggregate bonding threshold of at least $30,000,000 is required. | ACC | ||||||
| 7 | 2/10/26 | 105 | L | 3.3.3 | Page 105 of the solicitation under L.3.2.3 says PPQs should be emailed to Mr. Justin Marino and Mr. Brian Souter. Page 1 of Attachment 3 – PPQ instructs POCs to email PPQs only to Justin Marino in a letter from Mr. Matthew Chase. Can we edit the letter to include a requirement for POCs to email the PPQ to Mr. Brian Souter as well? | See Revised Attachment 3 Past Performance Questionnaire Rev.1 that now includes instructions to email completed PPQs to Mr. Justin Marino and Mr. Brian Souter. | ACC | |
| 8 | 2/11/26 | Do you have an agenda for the 19FEB Site Visit for the FY26 Construction MATOC? | See Site Visit Agenda Attached to SAM.gov posting | ACC | ||||
| 9 | 2/11/26 | Will you be providing an overview of the proposed MATOC program and potential projects, or discussing any specific projects? | See Site Visit Agenda Attached to SAM.gov posting | ACC | ||||
| 10 | 2/11/26 | Hope all is going well with both of you. Just wondering if you expect to add more documents to SAM for the subject solicitation. We usually expect a “seed project” but I’m not sure if you were going to post one. I see that the offers are due by March 9, 2026. I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything. For your convenience, I’ve attached the link to the SAM solicitation page just to show you what I’m seeing online. | There will not be a "seed project" for this requirement. | ACC | ||||
| 11 | 2/11/26 | I was reading through the specs to find out how to get a pass to enter the base ( Here we have DBIDS for Camp Lejeune) and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to get a Temp pass/ Base Access. The link provided in the spec no longer works. | Reference page 3, section 3 of the RFP for information regarding site visit registration process. If an offeror is awarded a base contract/task order that requires base access, contractors/visitors must submit a 648C background check that corresponds with their associated projects. From there the contractor can work the assigned COR, and submit an application for a contractor badge. | ACC/DPW | ||||
| 12 | 2/12/26 | 101 | L | 1.2 | The solicitation indicates that a DoD SAFE “drop-off” code is required for non-DoD offerors without a Common Access Card (CAC). It further states that requests must be submitted at least fourteen (14) days prior to the proposal due date, and that the provided code is valid for only fourteen (14) days. To ensure compliance with the submission requirements, please confirm whether offerors should request the drop-off code exactly fourteen (14) days prior to the proposal due date, and whether the code expiration is time-stamped to the specific hour of issuance. For example, if a code is issued at 8:00 AM on Day -14 and the proposal is due at 1:00 PM on the due date, will the code remain valid through the full submission window? | All DoD Safe requirement/language has been removed from the solicitation via amendment 0001 and replaced with instructions to email all proposal files directly to Mr. Justin Marino and Mr. Brian Souter. See updated section L.1.2 | ACC | |
| 13 | 2/11/26 | 105 | L | 3.2.3 | Will the Government allow offerors to submit completed CPARS evaluations in lieu of, or in addition to, the required Attachment 3 – Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)? In some instances, points of contact for recent and relevant projects may have retired or are no longer employed with the agency, and obtaining PPQ responses may present a hardship for otherwise qualified past performance references. | Section L3.2.3 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) which states "For each of the three contracts, the offeror must send a PPQ to the client's POCs for completion.". Also Section M 4.0 states The Government will review this information and may also use data from other sources (e.g., CPARS, interviews) to assess performance quality. Submission of completed CPARS in lieu of PPQs is not acceptable . | ACC | |
| 14 | 2/12/26 | Will a Final CPARs be accepted from the Offeror in lieu of the prescribed PPQ? | Section L3.2.3 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) which states "For each of the three contracts, the offeror must send a PPQ to the client's POCs for completion.". Also Section M 4.0 states The Government will review this information and may also use data from other sources (e.g., CPARS, interviews) to assess performance quality. Submission of completed CPARS in lieu of PPQs is not acceptable . | |||||
| 15 | 2/12/26 | May a previously completed USACE/NAVFAC Form-0 PPQ be submitted by the Offeror? | Section L3.2.3 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) which states "For each of the three contracts, the offeror must send a PPQ to the client's POCs for completion.". Attachment 3 Past Performance Questionnaire Rev.1 must be used as stated in the solicitation. | |||||
| 16 | 2/12/26 | A site visit is slated for February 19th. As there is no seed project and pricing related to this solicitation, is it the Government’s intent to provide a general installation visit of facilities related to the SOW? | There will not be a seed project for this requirement. Refer to the Site Visit Agenda Attached to SAM.gov posting for more information on content of the site visit. | |||||
| 17 | 2/13/26 | Bonding Capacity verification of a single project bonding threshold of at least $5,000,000 and an aggregate bonding threshold of at least $30,000,000. This is a huge requirement and will force most Smalls to partner with Large companies to achieve. This seems counter to the idea of a Small Business, Minor Construction MATOC. Is it possible to get this requirement lowered to allow more participation? | See Question 6, verification of single project bonding threshold of at least $5,000,000 and an aggregate bonding threshold of at least $30,000,000 is required. | |||||
| 18 | 2/13/26 | We see this project posted on Construct Connect however we can not find it on the PIEE site. Is it somewhere else? We are interested and would like to acquire the plans and be able to bid. | This solicitation and related documents are not in the PIEE module. All information and attachements can be found on the SAM.gov posting. |
