This document is a Bid Inquiry Contractor Report containing 139 questions and answers regarding the Utility Monitoring & Control System VI (UMCS VI) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) solicitation issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Engineering and Support Center. The report captures inquiries submitted by potential offerors during the pre-solicitation phase and corresponding government responses, with a closing date of June 4, 2026.

The MATOC is structured as a firm-fixed-price task order contract with competitive suites for unrestricted and small business reserve competitions. Offerors must demonstrate experience across five Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) types: UMCS, ESS, HVAC, FAS, and SCADA, with submissions requiring a minimum of three and maximum of five Department of Defense projects for each FRCS category using the Project Reporting Form. Past performance evaluation is based on Acceptable/Unacceptable criteria with relevancy determined by scope, complexity, and effort. The contract includes five-year initial ordering period with on-ramp and off-ramp options and allows for task orders both within the Continental United States and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations, with specific country compliance requirements. Key technical requirements include Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Authority to Operate (ATO) achievement for DoD Information Systems, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 self-assessment, and compliance with security frameworks including UFC 4-010-06 and UFGS 25 05 11. Small business participation is evaluated through quantitative requirements based on total contract capacity value, with specific minimum subcontracting percentages detailed in the evaluation factors. Facility clearance is not required at MATOC award and will be specified at individual task order levels, and the government will provide available standardized Risk Management Framework artifacts for UMCS/ESS systems as furnished by the customer.
