cember or January. Packages 3 and

responses due in December and
“down-select” announcements in

CAGC to inform members about the
status of these solicitations through
direct email and www.ncmbc.us,
and to host consolidated “teaming
forums” for the three contractors
selected to proceed to Phase 2 for
each package.
“CAGC and the NCMBC encour-
age all general and specialty con-
tractors, designers and suppliers to
monitor these opportunities, to en-
gage in teaming events and to ac-
tively partner with contractors the
Navy selects to execute this $1.7
billion in work at North Carolina
bases,” the statement says.
