FY27 MACC
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE.AIR COMBAT COMMAND.FA4803 20 CONS LGCA · Response deadline: Wed, 04 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Air Force is soliciting bids for an FY27 Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC). MACCs are indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles used by the military for commercial and institutional building construction projects. Contractors receive task orders for individual projects rather than a single large project upfront. These contracts typically cover a geographic region and a range of construction services including new construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance of facilities. Without access to the full solicitation, the specific dollar ceiling, number of anticipated awardees, and precise scope of construction disciplines cannot be confirmed—see the solicitation for these details.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for this code—generally average annual receipts of $47.5 million or less over three years. You must be registered in SAM.gov, have an active DUNS/UEI number, and possess any required facility clearances if the work involves covered defense facilities.
For Air Force construction MACCs, bidders typically need past performance on comparable federal or commercial construction projects, adequate bonding capacity, and demonstrated financial capacity to execute multiple concurrent task orders. If you hold an existing MACC with the Air Force, review whether this creates any organizational conflict of interest.
How to put together a competitive bid
Pricing strategy: MACCs are highly competitive on factors and pricing. Develop realistic loaded labor rates, subcontractor markup structures, and escalation assumptions for the contract's potential duration. The Air Force evaluates not just initial pricing but likely cost realism across the ordering period.
Past performance: Identify three to five relevant projects of similar size, complexity, and federal/military scope. Prepare detailed past performance questionnaires or CPARS references. Emphasize completed Air Force or DOD work if available.
Technical approach: Address quality control, safety (EM 385-1-1 compliance is standard for military construction), scheduling methodology, and surge capacity. Specify how you will respond to rapid task order turnaround requirements typical of MACC operations.
Small business participation: Since this is total small business set-aside, you need not subcontract to other small businesses to meet goals, but a strong subcontracting plan for specialty trades strengthens the proposal.
Bonding and financials: Obtain a bonding line of credit sufficient for anticipated project sizes. Provide audited financials or reviewed statements demonstrating liquidity for mobilization costs.
