IDIQ Flooring

DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.MISSION INSTALLATION CONTRACTING COMMAND.419TH CSB.W6QM MICC-FT STEWART · Response deadline: Thu, 12 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for flooring work, issued by the Army's Mission Installation Contracting Command at Fort Stewart. Under an IDIQ vehicle, the government establishes a master agreement with one or more vendors, then issues individual task orders for specific flooring projects over the contract period. Task orders typically cover installation, repair, or maintenance of various flooring types in military facilities—this may include carpet, vinyl, tile, hardwood, or specialized flooring for high-traffic or industrial spaces.

As a construction specialty trade under NAICS 238330 (Flooring Contractors), this work generally requires skilled labor for surface preparation, material installation, finishing, and compliance with building codes and safety standards. The 8(a) set-aside means this opportunity is restricted to firms certified in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program.

Key facts

Who can bid

Only firms currently certified in the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program may bid. Your firm must be 8(a)-certified at the time of proposal submission, and the contract award must occur before your program graduation date. The NAICS size standard for 238330 is typically $16.5 million in average annual receipts; verify your status meets current SBA thresholds.

You must also have active registration in SAM.gov, and your SAM profile must reflect your 8(a) certification. For flooring work at Fort Stewart, consider whether your firm has or can obtain any required security clearances, bonding capacity for construction contracts, and past performance references for comparable federal or commercial flooring projects.

How to put together a competitive bid

Technical proposal: Emphasize your flooring expertise across materials relevant to military installations—durability and maintenance requirements differ from commercial work. Include photographs or documentation of completed projects, especially government or institutional facilities. Address quality control processes, warranty terms, and how you handle daisy-chained task orders with tight turnaround times.

Pricing strategy: IDIQ proposals require careful pricing of unit rates for labor and materials, as these rates will lock in for all task orders. Analyze your historical costs for flooring categories and benchmark against similar Army installations. Consider escalation clauses and travel costs if task orders extend beyond Fort Stewart's immediate area.

Past performance: Prepare at least three relevant references with contact information. Military contracts prioritize reliability and schedule adherence—highlight on-time delivery and minimal disruptions to occupied facilities.

Compliance items: Ensure your proposal addresses any Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements, small business subcontracting plans (if applicable), and EEO/affirmative action commitments. Review whether the solicitation requires specific flooring manufacturer certifications or UL/green building credentials.
