Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), for Design/Build or Construction type task orders. Task orders issued under this MATOC can require performance of work anywhere within the South Atlantic Division Area of Operations (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi). Projects will typically be located on military installations within North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; however, performance of work is not solely restricted to such. A project requiring use of civil funds or otherwise termed as civil construction is not authorized under this contract.

This acquisition is being offered on a HUBZone set aside competitive basis. The life of the basic contract is for a base period of three (3) years with two (2) one-year option periods or $200M; whichever occurs first. The pool size (number of contracts that may be awarded) shall not exceed six (6) contractors. The pool of contractors which successfully receive an award will share the total contract capacity of $200M. The government will use a two-phase design build evaluation process. The order limitation of task orders, to include the seed task order that will be used for evaluation purposes and award of the initial contracts, shall range between $1M and $20M. Task orders issued under this MATOC will be firm-fixed price. The initial seed task order may include options.

Description of work: Task orders placed under this MATOC may be either of a design-build nature or that of a design-bid-build (construction only) nature.  Work may include but is not limited to the design and construction of administrative facilities, recreational facilities, educational facilities, religious facilities, medical facilities, and training facilities to include ranges.  Work is not solely restricted to new construction but may also include repairs, renovations, alterations, or additions to existing facilities, such as those already cited, or infrastructure such as roads, parking, drainage systems and utility systems.  Generally, however, task orders anticipated to be issued under this MATOC will be primarily for new, vertical construction and associated site work.
