The Florida Department of Military Affairs is soliciting sealed bids from qualified, licensed general contractors for the Chipley REVAMP full facility sustainment project, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on November 5, 2026 and bids opening December 10, 2026. Minority Business Enterprises and veteran-owned companies are encouraged to participate, and MBE status requires certification by the Office of Supplier Diversity.

The project covers maintenance, repairs, and lifecycle replacement for the 17,208-square-foot Readiness Center at 749 7th Street, Chipley, Florida 32428, and its supporting assets. No new construction is included. Work includes roof repair and replacement, building envelope sealing, interior and exterior maintenance, electrical and mechanical system repairs, HVAC and fire alarm work, window and fencing repairs, and parking area resurfacing and striping. The contractor must obtain local building permits and pay associated fees, while the State Fire Marshal handles the fire safety permit.
