How to bid on the Army's Facilities Repair and Renewal VI MATOC capacity increase

What the Army is buying and why it matters

The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, intends to increase the total shared capacity of its existing Facilities Repair and Renewal (FRR) Sixth (VI) Generation Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) by $499 million. This will raise the total contract value from $450 million to $949 million.

This increase will allow the Army to award Modular Power Enclosures Program (MPEP) task orders and other FRR Program design-build construction task orders. Work may include facility-related design-build construction, site preparation, facility modifications, utility work, infrastructure support, equipment procurement and installation, commissioning, testing, and related construction support across various sites. This is an opportunity for firms in the construction sector to potentially be considered for future competitive procurements, even though this specific notice is not a request for proposals.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

Responses to this Notice of Intent are due by August 10, 2026, at 8:00 AM Central Daylight Time (9:00 AM Eastern Time). This is not a deadline for competitive proposals, but rather for firms to submit capability information.

The Army will use the information received to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement for these expanded requirements. A decision not to compete this requirement, based on responses, is solely at the government's discretion.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is best suited for construction firms, including 8(a) businesses, small businesses, and other than small businesses, with experience in commercial and institutional building construction. The primary NAICS code applicable is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.

Firms should have capabilities in design-build construction, site preparation, facility modifications, utility work, infrastructure support, and equipment installation. Experience with specialized facility construction and protective infrastructure, particularly related to FRR efforts, is also relevant. The Army is interested in firms capable of performing multiple contracts simultaneously across various geographic locations (multiple states).

To respond, you need to submit a written response on company letterhead, not exceeding ten pages. This response should be furnished electronically to the Contract Specialist, Marlon Ross ([email protected]), and the Contract Officer, Sheena Espindola ([email protected]).

Your response must include your firm’s legal name, address, point of contact, phone number, email address, and business size/status. Indicate if you would propose as a prime contractor, joint venture, or teaming arrangement. State your capability to perform multiple contracts simultaneously in various geographic locations and list the states where you have capability/interest. Detail any past or current FRR effort, especially concerning specialized facility construction and protective infrastructure. Confirm your firm's (or team/joint venture's) capability, qualifications, and experience to complete designs at Government facilities in accordance with all applicable technical publications, regulations, codes, and specifications.

Also, affirm an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), include your Unique Entity Identifier, CAGE code, and any applicable processed credentials and qualifications.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Even though this is not a request for competitive proposals, a thorough response can help the agency assess the market. Clearly articulate your firm's specific experience with design-build construction, facility modifications, and infrastructure support, especially any projects similar to the Modular Power Enclosures Program or secure facilities.

Highlight your capacity to manage multiple projects concurrently across different states. Provide concrete examples of past performance that demonstrate your ability to meet government technical publications, regulations, codes, and specifications. Ensure all required administrative details, such as SAM registration and business size, are accurate and up-to-date.
