Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) for the North Florida/South Georgia Area of Responsibility 3

Awarded 2022-09-02 — 28 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

Post-award modifications total 143% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

First modification occurred shortly after award — before significant work could have been performed. Early scope changes may indicate incomplete requirements.

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.
