McEntire JNGB, SC A-E Type C Services for Taxiway Phase III

The Department of the Army National Guard is seeking sources for Architect and Engineering (A-E) Type C Inspection Services to support the PSTE162013 Repair Taxiway Phase III project at McEntire Joint National Guard Base in Eastover, South Carolina. Qualified contractors must demonstrate experience performing Type C construction inspection services on government building construction projects within the past five years and possess the ability to provide comprehensive project oversight, including site inspections, submittal reviews, technical documentation, and coordination with the Contracting Officer. Interested parties must submit a written response by January 9, 2026, not exceeding 10 typewritten pages, that includes a positive statement of intent to bid, a completed Source Sought Information Request Form, relevant project history with contract numbers and government contacts, and an outline of proposed resources, subcontractors, and key personnel. This pre-solicitation notice does not establish formal evaluation criteria but serves as a planning tool to assess market availability and small business capability. The government will use responses to determine whether sufficient small business contractors are available to justify a small business set-aside or whether an unrestricted solicitation is warranted. Responses must be submitted via email to both cassie.blair.1@us.af.mil and jonathan.bailey.28@us.af.mil with the subject line "Sources Sought Type C Services PSTE162013 Repair Taxiway, Phase III."

No set-aside designation has been applied at this stage; however, the government indicates that if an adequate number of small business contractors do not respond, it reserves the right to advertise on an unrestricted basis. Tetra Tech and Mead & Hunt are noted as the firms that prepared the construction documents for the project. The pre-solicitation notice does not disclose an estimated contract value or award range. The scope of work requires Type C inspection services including attendance at coordination meetings, review of contractor submittals and shop drawings, site inspections with written reporting, and assignment of qualified project representatives throughout the construction phase. All contractor employees must complete Antiterrorism Awareness Level I Training within 45 calendar days of contract start and OPSEC training within 30 days of initial assignment, reflecting the military installation security requirements for this project.
