JB Charleston Multiple Award Construction Contract
Independent AABC-, NEBB-, or TABB-certified agency required.
The title says construction. The specs say
TAB.
Ordinary searches stop at the notice. TAB Bids keeps reading.
“Engage an independent testing, adjusting, and balancing agency certified by AABC, NEBB, or TABB...”
Why it matters: The same package requires Section 23 05 93 work to be performed directly by a first-tier subcontractor, not buried another tier down.

- CONTRACTING PATH
- First-tier subcontract to a prime pursuing the seed project
- WHAT TO DO NOW
- Contact a pursuing MACC offeror and confirm whether its TAB team and quote window are still open.
- TIMING CHECK
- September 21 is the government deadline, not necessarily the subcontractor quote cutoff.
Less searching. More estimating.
