Amendment 02 - Vertical Construction MATOC
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS.ENGINEER DIVISION SOUTH ATLANTIC.ENDIST MOBILE.W074 ENDIST MOBILE · Response deadline: Thu, 12 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (W074 ENDIST MOBILE) is soliciting bids for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for vertical construction work. This is Amendment 02 to solicitation W9127826RA089, indicating this is a revised version of an earlier solicitation—prospective bidders should review all amendments carefully for changes to requirements, terms, or deadlines.
A vertical construction MATOC is a common contracting vehicle in federal construction procurement. Under this structure, the government awards indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts to multiple qualified firms, then issues task orders for specific projects as needs arise. The work typically encompasses above-ground building projects as opposed to horizontal infrastructure like roads or utilities. Eligible projects under such MATOCs frequently include administrative buildings, barracks, hangars, maintenance facilities, and other structural construction for military installations and civil works projects.
The NAICS code 238990—All Other Specialty Trade Contractors—suggests this MATOC may encompass specialized construction trades or that the contract scope includes specialty work components beyond general building construction. Specialty trade contractors perform specific activities such as structural steel, concrete cutting, reinforcing steel placement, or other specialized building trades not classified under other NAICS codes.

Who can bid
This solicitation carries no set-aside designation in the metadata, meaning it is open to all responsible offerors including small and large businesses. Competition is unrestricted.
Firms registered under NAICS 238990 or capable of performing specialty trade construction work should evaluate their eligibility. Because this is a MATOC, the government will likely evaluate past performance, technical capability, and price/cost factors to select multiple awardees. Small businesses should verify their size standard status under NAICS 238990, though without a set-aside, size status does not determine eligibility.
The Corps of Engineers typically requires construction contractors to meet bonding requirements, quality control capabilities, and safety qualifications. See the solicitation for specific experience requirements, past project thresholds, and any required certifications.
How to put together a competitive bid
For unrestricted vertical construction MATOCs, competitive proposals typically emphasize:
Demonstrated performance history: Document completed projects of comparable scope, complexity, and dollar value. The Corps of Engineers heavily weights relevant past performance in construction evaluations.
Technical approach: Describe your project management methodology, quality control/assurance processes, safety program, and subcontractor management—particularly how you handle specialty trade coordination given the NAICS classification.
Personnel and resources: Identify key personnel with federal or military construction experience; Corps projects often require familiarity with government specifications (UFC, UFGS) and security protocols.
Pricing strategy: MATOC IDIQ contracts are often evaluated on estimated contract maximums or sample task order pricing. Understand whether pricing is competitive at the IDIQ level, task order level, or both.
Small business participation: Even without a set-aside, subcontracting plans may be evaluated or required for large businesses under FAR 19.702 if this exceeds applicable thresholds.
Given this is Amendment 02, obtain and review all prior amendments to identify modifications that may affect your proposal strategy or pricing.
