Description
The U.S. Air Force’s Little Rock Air Force Base is hosting a hybrid virtual Industry Day on 26 August 2026 to inform U.S.‑owned contractors about a forthcoming Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) IDIQ. The event will explain the “Highest Technically Rated Offeror” (HTRO) source‑selection methodology, contract mechanics, and requirements for becoming one of the eight prime contractors in the MACC pool. The eventual IDIQ will have a three‑year base period with two optional two‑year extensions and a possible six‑month extension, and will be awarded via a two‑phase technical‑first, price‑later process. Contractors must be registered in SAM, be U.S.‑owned, and RSVP to attend. Questions about the notice are due 18 Aug 2026; questions about the Industry Day content are due 31 Aug 2026. The final solicitation is tentatively slated for 10 Sep 2027 with proposals due 12 Oct 2027.
