Construction-Manager as Constructor (CMc) for the Houlton Land Port of Entry, Houlton, ME 3

Only one company submitted a bid. Reduced competition may indicate barriers to entry, poor solicitation visibility, or pre-determined outcomes.

This contract was awarded without competitive bidding (Not Competed Under Simplified Acquisition Procedures). While non-competitive awards are legal under FAR 6.302, they bypass price competition.

This NAICS code represents a very small share of this agency's historical contracts — an unusual type of work that may indicate misclassification.

The Government Accountability Office has identified contract management challenges in this agency's operational area, recommending strengthened management controls. This is a systemic observation about the procurement environment, not a reflection on any individual contract or contractor.
