UNC Pembroke

The solicitation for Construction Materials Testing and Special Inspections at UNC Pembroke seeks qualified firms to perform inspection and testing services for the replacement of an aging subsurface natural gas pipeline between North Hall and Locklear Hall, to be upgraded with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) piping to ensure compliance with current safety and capacity standards. The procurement is conducted under a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with FAR Part 36.6 and North Carolina State Construction Office guidelines, explicitly prohibiting award based solely on lowest price. Firms must submit a Letter of Interest and a current SF-330 form electronically in PDF format by May 26, 2026, to demonstrate their professional licensing in North Carolina and relevant experience in construction materials testing and special inspections. Evaluation will focus on technical competence, prior performance on similar projects, staffing qualifications, and completeness of submission, without formal numerical weighting or cost-based scoring. The anticipated contract value is $651,113, though no formal line-item pricing or CLIN structure is included, as the award is not price-driven. Performance will occur on-site at the UNC Pembroke campus, with government acceptance tied to inspection results conducted by the selected firm. There are no specified contract clauses, packaging requirements, payment details, or accounting identifiers provided, and no designated COR, COTR, or PCO is named; oversight responsibilities are functionally assigned to Matt Greene and David Locklear as primary points of contact. All proposals must meet state licensing requirements and adhere strictly to electronic submission protocols, with no physical deliveries or alternative formats permitted.
