UNC Pembroke is seeking to prequalify Tier 1 subcontractors for a comprehensive Health Sciences Center construction project through a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) procurement process. The solicitation, issued by Metcon, Inc./T.A. Loving in a Joint Venture, encompasses 34 specific trade packages including Final Cleaning, Turnkey Concrete, Architectural Precast, Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Masonry, Structural Steel, Roofing, Doors, Windows, HVAC, Electrical, Sitework, Foundations, and Landscaping. The prequalification submission is due on September 16, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with materials to be sent to Metcon, Inc. at their Pembroke, NC address. The design firm for the project is Jenkins Peer Architects, PA, with Zach Leitner serving as the design firm contact. Potential subcontractors will be evaluated through a comprehensive prequalification process to ensure they possess the necessary capabilities and quality standards for this complex institutional construction project. The campus facilities management contact for this procurement is Kevin.Witmore@uncp.edu, who can provide additional information about the solicitation.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the prequalification process suggests a rigorous evaluation of potential subcontractors' technical capabilities, financial stability, and past performance. The project appears to be a significant institutional construction initiative for a new Health Sciences Center, indicating potential substantial investment and complexity. The multi-trade package approach suggests opportunities for various sizes and types of contractors to participate in different aspects of the project. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documents, the breadth of trade packages and the involvement of a major construction management firm implies a potentially high-value project. The prequalification process itself serves as a mechanism to restrict participation to only the most qualified and capable subcontractors, ensuring high-quality execution of the Health Sciences Center construction project.
