Camp Mabry Portables Re-Solicitation

The Texas Military Department (TMD) is soliciting sealed bids under IFB TMD27-CFMO-0046906 for the lease, installation, and maintenance of two temporary modular workspace facilities at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, with bids due November 17, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. Central Time. Bidders must submit a Subcontracting Plan under Texas Government Code Chapter 2161 to be responsive, with a 21.1% subcontracting goal for building construction work that specifically targets State of Texas VetHUB-certified vendors. Bidders must allow a minimum of seven business days for certified VetHUB response, and outreach must be completed by November 4, 2026.

The facilities will house 165 personnel, with 110 at the North Site behind Building 24 and 55 at the South Site adjacent to Building 19. Both must be fully installed, accepted by TMD, and ready for occupancy by April 16, 2027. Scope covers modular unit supply, delivery, installation, interior fit-out, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, life safety, and IT, AV, and low-voltage infrastructure. The South Site requires acoustic assemblies achieving STC 50 minimum at suite demising walls, verified by field testing under ASTM E336. The contractor is the single point of responsibility, coordinating the modular manufacturer and all subcontractors. Respondents must have three years in business and provide three comparable references, including one on a secure government or active-installation site. Prevailing wage rates apply. Required insurance includes commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $500,000 combined single limit, and umbrella liability of $1 million per occurrence. Performance bonds are required above $25,000 and payment bonds above $100,000.

The initial lease term is 36 months, with two optional one-year renewals at TMD's discretion and a purchase option for either or both facilities. TMD will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based solely on the Total Base Bid, excluding bid options and unit prices. Pricing must include one-time delivery and installation, monthly lease and maintenance rates, and demobilization and restoration, submitted on the Mandatory Pricing Schedule with prices firm through renewals. TMD anticipates funding in twelve-month periods via purchase orders, subject to appropriated funds. No pre-bid site visit will be conducted, so bids must rely on the provided site, utility, access, and topographic information. Anticipated award is December 7, 2026, with Notice to Proceed by December 28, 2026.
