A MACC is an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity contract that is awarded to multiple firms. The Government shall issue task orders for individual construction projects based upon competition from the successful awardees. Anticipated task orders shall be a Firm Fixed Price with a magnitude up to $5,000,000.00. The total contract value for this contract is not to exceed $60,000,000.00 over a five year period. Each contract awarded will contain a basic 12-month period of performance and four subsequent options with 12 month periods of performance. The work consists of a wide variety of construction tasks, including the following: design and build; renovation; additions and upgrades; new construction integrating multiple construction trades and disciplines; and repair and replacement of roadways, airfield taxi-ways and runways. The successful awardees shall be capable of providing full-project design from concept or a performance-oriented statement of work.

The Government contemplates issuing a Total Small Business Set-Aside North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) under the following: 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, (Size Standard $33.5M). Subsequent task orders may be issued under NAICS sub-sectors 236, 237, 238.

Per AFFARS 5352.201-9101 (10 AUG 2005) the following applies:
(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern.
(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMBC A-76 competition performance decisions).
(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM ombudsmen, Mr. Michael R. Jackson, HQ AMC/A7K, 507 Symington Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5022, (618) 229-0267, fax (618) 256-6668, email: Michael.jackson@us.af.mil.
