Description
Notice:
This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought to determine potential sources for informational and planning purposes only. This request for Sources Sought is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered an invitation for bid, request for quotation, request for proposal, or obligation on the part of the U.S. Government to acquire any products or material. No contract award will be made as a result of this sources sought. This information is provided to the U.S. Government at no cost.
Contract Structure:
- The scope of this project consists of the multiple construction contracts for one (1) year plus four (4) option years, with a six (6) month extension of services.
- Number of Awards: The Government anticipates awarding six (6) IDIQ contracts. However, this number may be adjusted based on the quality and relevance of proposals received
Scope of Work:
The MACC will encompass a wide range of general construction disciplines including, but not limited to:
- Maintenance, repair, and alteration of existing real property.
- New construction of facilities.
Performance Locations:
While the primary performance location will be Al Udeid Air Base (AUAB), Qatar, task orders issued under this MACC may require performance at geographically separated locations within the AUAB area of responsibility.
Task Orders:
Individual task orders will be issued against the awarded IDIQ contracts to define project-specific requirements, including scope, schedule, and cost.
Information Requested:
Interested parties are strongly encouraged to review the attached Sources Sought document and submit responses accordingly.

BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
The Department of the Air Force issued a Sources Sought (not a solicitation) for a Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) supporting Al Udeid Air Base (AUAB), Qatar under NAICS 236220 / PSC Y1QA. The Government anticipates awarding six (6) IDIQ contracts with a 1-year base, four (4) option years, and a 6-month extension of services. The MACC will cover a broad range of general construction disciplines including maintenance/repair/alteration of existing real property and new facility construction, with task orders potentially at geographically separated locations within the AUAB area of responsibility. Responses are due by 2026-03-01 13:00 UTC and vendors are directed to review and respond per the attached Sources Sought document.
Identify and assess capable construction firms for a planned six-award IDIQ/MACC supporting AUAB, Qatar—covering general construction (maintenance/repair/alteration and new construction)—to inform acquisition planning and potential future solicitation/award strategy.
- General building construction firms aligned to NAICS 236220 with demonstrated capacity to execute multiple task orders under an IDIQ/MACC structure
- Contractors with proven experience in maintenance/repair/alteration of real property and new facility construction (general construction disciplines)
- Firms able to mobilize and perform construction work in Qatar at Al Udeid Air Base and potentially at separated locations within the AUAB AOR
- Companies that can support a long-horizon contract structure (1-year base + 4 option years + 6-month extension) with scalable resources and subcontracting networks
- IDIQ/MACC setup: multiple award construction contract vehicle (planned 6 awards) for AUAB support
- Maintenance, repair, and alteration of existing real property at AUAB
- New construction of facilities at AUAB
- Task order execution: project-specific scope, schedule, and cost defined per task order
- Potential performance at geographically separated locations within the AUAB area of responsibility (beyond the primary AUAB site)
- Completed Sources Sought response in the format/instructions required by the attached Sources Sought document
- Statement of relevant construction experience for: (a) maintenance/repair/alteration of existing real property, and (b) new construction of facilities
- Demonstration of capacity to support multiple task orders (resources, management approach, ability to surge) under an IDIQ/MACC
- Past performance examples relevant to AUAB-like general construction disciplines and execution at overseas/remote installations (as applicable)
- Acknowledgment of anticipated contract structure: 1-year base + four option years + 6-month extension of services and ability to support it
- Confirmation of ability to perform primarily at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar and at separated locations within the AUAB AOR
More BidPulsar strategy notesCompliance, pricing, teaming, risks, questions, and coverage notes
- This notice is a Sources Sought for informational/planning purposes only and is not a solicitation; no award will be made from this Sources Sought.
- Follow the instructions in the attached Sources Sought document; the notice explicitly encourages review of the attachments before responding.
- Response deadline: 2026-03-01 13:00 UTC.
- Because this is a Sources Sought, focus on communicating cost-control approaches and ability to price task orders across varied general construction scopes (maintenance/repair/alteration and new construction) rather than detailed bid pricing.
- Emphasize how your estimating, subcontractor coverage, and schedule/cost controls scale across an IDIQ with many task orders over a 1+4-year horizon plus potential 6-month extension.
- Consider teaming with local/regional construction partners and specialty trade subs to broaden coverage across ‘general construction disciplines’ for both repair/alteration and new construction task orders at AUAB.
- Build a bench of subcontractors to support potentially concurrent task orders and performance at geographically separated locations within the AUAB AOR.
- High competition risk: Government is planning up to six (6) IDIQ awards and may adjust the number based on the quality/relevance of responses—weak sources-sought packages may reduce competitiveness later.
- Scope variability risk: Task orders will define project-specific scope/schedule/cost; firms must be prepared for a wide range of construction requirements spanning repair/alteration through new construction.
- Geographic execution risk: Task orders may require work at separated locations within the AUAB area of responsibility, complicating logistics, staffing, and schedule control.
- Capture timing risk: Sources Sought response is due 2026-03-01 13:00 UTC; missing the deadline likely reduces visibility in market research.
- Will the Government share any anticipated task order size ranges, typical disciplines, or annual task order volume for the AUAB MACC?
- Are there specific construction disciplines or facility types considered highest priority under this MACC (beyond the general categories of repair/alteration and new construction)?
- What is the intended task order competition approach among the six IDIQ holders (e.g., frequency, expected number of concurrent task orders)?
- Are there any anticipated constraints for performance at geographically separated locations within the AUAB AOR that sources should plan for (access, escorting, staging areas)?
- Does the attached Sources Sought document request specific proof points (project examples, bonding capacity, safety metrics, management plans) that must be provided to be considered a viable source?
Some notices publish limited source detail. Confirm these points before final bid/no-bid decisions.

FAQ
How do I use the Market Snapshot?
It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.
Is the data live?
The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.
What do P10 and P90 mean?
P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
