The resulting MACC will be used to issue task orders for the design and construction of new construction, renovation/modernization, and routine repair/maintenance projects at U.S. Navy Support Facility, Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory (B.I.O.T.). Construction projects to be performed under this MACC will primarily consist of general building type projects and may be either DBB or DB.

The solicitation will utilize two-phase design-build selection procedures which require Offerors to submit past performance and experience information in Phase One and a technical and price proposal in Phase Two for evaluation by the Government.

The contract term will be a five-year base period plus one three-year option period, for a maximum duration of eight (8) years (96 months).

Task orders for the minimum guarantee of $100,000 each will be issued concurrently with the award of the IDIQ MACC. Only the base period of the contract will offer a minimum guarantee.
