ANC SE Expansion Moving Services

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.MISSION INSTALLATION CONTRACTING COMMAND.FDO SAM HOUSTON.W6QM MICC-FT BELVOIR · Response deadline: Fri, 23 Oct 2026

What the government is buying

The U.S. Army is soliciting bids for moving services under the title "ANC SE Expansion Moving Services." This contract covers work at Fort Myer, Virginia, in support of what appears to be a Southeast expansion project at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC). Moving services under NAICS 484210 typically involve household goods relocation, office moves, or specialized transportation of equipment and furnishings. Given the location and context, this likely entails moving historical records, ceremonial items, administrative materials, or other assets associated with cemetery operations expansion.

The Mission Installation Contracting Command at Fort Belvoir (MICC-FT Belvoir) is handling procurement for this requirement. Contracting officers at MICC manage installation-support contracts across Army facilities in the National Capital Region.

Key facts

Who can bid

This opportunity is reserved for small businesses under the Small Business Set Aside – Total program. To qualify, your business must meet the size standard for NAICS 484210. As a total set-aside, no large business may bid as a prime contractor, though small businesses may subcontract with larger firms.

Eligible bidders should:

• Be registered in SAM.gov with active status
• Hold any required state operating authority for moving services in Virginia
• Maintain appropriate licenses and insurance for goods handling and transportation
• Meet any applicable security requirements for working on military installations (see the solicitation)

How to put together a competitive bid

Moving services contracts on military installations require attention to several distinct factors:

Personnel and clearance requirements. Fort Myer is adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery and involves sensitive operations. Expect background check requirements, and potentially Common Access Card (CAC) eligibility or escorted access provisions. Identify whether your proposed labor force already holds clearances or whether processing timelines affect your ability to perform.

Equipment and capacity. Specify your fleet composition—straight trucks, tractor-trailers, specialized crating equipment, and any climate-controlled vehicles. The cemetery expansion context may involve handling historical or delicate items requiring white-glove service protocols.

Scheduling constraints. Military installations and national cemetery operations follow strict schedules with limited disruption windows. Propose detailed phasing plans showing how you would execute moves without interfering with ceremonial operations or public access.

Pricing structure. Moving services typically price through hourly rates, weight-based charges, per-piece rates, or firm fixed-price milestones. See the solicitation for the required pricing format and ensure your cost build-up includes labor, equipment, fuel, packing materials, debris removal, and any storage components.

Past performance. Document comparable moves for federal agencies, particularly military or ceremonial sites. Performance references demonstrating reliability, care with sensitive materials, and schedule adherence strengthen your submission.
