SUMMARY:Wake Tech Contractor's Academy
DESCRIPTION:The Contractor’s Academy is an intensive eight-session certificate program presented by Wake Technical Community College and the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC). The program takes business owners and entrepreneurs through the complete journey from first understanding what public sector contracting is to being fully prepared to find\, pursue and win contracts at the federal and North Carolina state level. \nThe program is built around one principle: sequence matters. Companies don’t fail in government contracting because they lack talent; they fail because they try to bid before they’re registered\, market before they’ve done research and write proposals before they’ve built relationships. Every session builds on the one before it. \nThe program is delivered in hybrid format. Each session combines live in-person instruction with simultaneous virtual participation. All participants work on their own computers throughout every session — every demo\, registration and workshop exercise is completed in real time\, not as homework. \nClass starts September 2nd. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. Register today! \nRegister

SUMMARY:SHIELD OTA Opportunity for Construction Contractors
DESCRIPTION:Join the North Carolina Military Business Center\, along with the Fort Bragg Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) and Directorate of Public Works (DPW) on October 1\, 2026 at 1:30 PM EST to discuss the following: \nFort Bragg\, NC is pursuing several OTA contracts\, including the Construction Sustainability Habitability Infrastructure Execution Line Item Delivery (SHIELD) Business Process Prototype for Army Installation Infrastructure Delivery. \nThis opportunity is currently available for contractor proposal submissions through the Colosseum Marketplace: \n\nhttps://marketplace.gocolosseum.org/\n\n\nhttps://marketplace.gocolosseum.org/challenges/4d12a66e-6226-487e-bbc9-15010f104fe0\n\nProposal submissions close on October 8 at 4:00 PM ET.  Interested offerors must first register in the Colosseum Marketplace. Once registered\, they will be able to view challenge details and submit proposals. \nSHIELD is expected to serve as a primary contracting tool for construction-related acquisitions and infrastructure delivery efforts. \nWhen. October 1\, 2026 at 1:30 – 2:30 PM EST \nWhere. Virtual\, registration is required for access to the log-in credentials. \nREGISTER\nAbout SHEILD.  Fort Bragg’s Directorate of Public Works sustains horizontal infrastructure including roads\, airfields\, and utilities\, as well as vertical infrastructure including buildings\, barracks\, and structures that underpin installation readiness and quality of life for the mission population at Fort Bragg\, North Carolina. Facility sustainment is increasingly degraded by administrative latency\, volatile market cost escalation\, and the protracted lifecycle of traditional project-by-project solicitations\, creating a growing backlog of repair and construction needs that threatens operational continuity and readiness. Conventional Job Order Contracting concentrates control of the pricing catalog and construction execution within a single entity\, creating inherent risk of inflated scopes and organizational conflicts of interest. The Directorate of Public Works requires a next-generation acquisition approach that can deliver fixed\, auditable\, and rapidly executable construction pricing without concentrating pricing-catalog control and physical execution in a single entity\, an arrangement that under traditional Job Order Contracting creates organizational-conflict-of-interest risk and inflated-scope risk. This challenge seeks to prototype the Sustainability Habitability Infrastructure Execution Line Item Delivery framework\, a novel\, severable two-prong business-process model under 10 U.S.C. Section 4022(e)(5)(A) that separates quantitative cost-data administration through a Unit Price Book catalog from physical construction execution\, with zero contractual privity between the two prongs. The prototype will be validated through live task order execution at Fort Bragg\, with each task order priced against the Unit Price Book catalog and independently verified as fair and reasonable against an Independent Government Cost Estimate before any funds obligate\, to demonstrate whether this model accelerates delivery of real-property construction and repair while eliminating the organizational conflicts of interest inherent in traditional Job Order Contracting. Award will be made under the ONIX Other Transaction Authority in coordination with Army Contracting Command – Rock Island\, pursuant to a Prototype Other Transaction Agreement under 10 U.S.C. Section 2808a\, addressing the creation\, design\, development\, and demonstration of operational utility of a novel acquisition business process.
