Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Southeast awarded a $249 million design-build and design-bid-build, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed-price multiple award construction contract (MACC), Nov. 8, for construction projects primarily located in the eastern portion of the NAVAC Southeast area of operations (AO).
The eight small businesses include Ashford Leebcor Enterprises IV, LLC from Williamsburg, Virginia; CCI Solutions, LLC from Anchorage, Alaska; Dawson Enterprises, LLC from Honolulu, Hawaii; P&S Construction, Inc. from North Chelmsford, Massachusetts; Southeastern Industrial Barlovento JV-2, LLC from Destin, Florida; VHB, LLC from Boyds, Maryland; Walga Ross Group 3 JV from Joplin, Missouri; and WEB LLC doing business as WEBCO from Springfield, Virginia. These eight contractors may compete for task orders under the terms and conditions of the awarded contract.
MACC contracts are used to pre-qualify a group of contractors with respect to performance, experience, capability and safety and then issue task orders to them for projects that meet the parameters of the MACC.
“The use of MACCs save the command and the government time and resources,” said NAVFAC Southeast Chief of Contracting Susan Smallwood. “When any of our bases has a construction requirement, we can look at utilizing this contracting tool to meet the customer’s execution timeline.”
The work to be performed may include design-build construction and/or 100% plans and specifications for general construction. Construction will primarily consist of general building type projects including administrative facilities, training facilities, hangars, bachelor enlisted quarters, dormitories, maintenance facilities, commissaries/retail and other similar types of facilities for the areas managed by NAVFAC Southeast.
All work on this contract will be within the southeastern portion of the United States which includes Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
All eight contractors will be awarded $1,000 to satisfy the guaranteed minimum.
The contract consists of a five-year ordering period for a maximum of 60 months or a maximum value of $249 million, whichever comes first. There are no options and no task orders being issued at this time.
Small businesses play a vital role in the American economy - employing half of our country's workforce, creating nearly two out of every three new American jobs, and often being the source of the next great American innovation. NAVFAC Southeast strives to meet its goals and build on its successes by providing contract opportunities to these businesses.
“NAVFAC Southeast invests in small businesses to support our national defense,” said John Bazylewicz, NAVFAC Southeast assistant deputy director for Small Business. “Small businesses fuel the American dream, which grows the local and federal economies that ultimately strengthen the warfighter.”
Bazylewicz explained that small businesses provide construction, professional and supported services expertise that support the Navy’s mission and the men and women in uniform. It is through strong policy and sound business processes that NAVFAC is able to develop capabilities based strategies that consider program risks, cost, schedule and technical requirements that help meet the expectations of supported commanders while supporting public policy objectives.
Each year NAVFAC establishes target goals for Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZONE), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business categories. Utilizing these small business concerns to the maximum extent practicable is a matter of National interest with both social and economic benefits.
