NIH Awards AFG Construction Quality & Commissioning MATOC
AFG has been awarded a MATOC to deliver CQM and Cx services for the NIH Office of Research Facilities.
The award was made under a six-year Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with a $400M program ceiling and supports the agency’s ongoing construction program across its research campuses.
The program encompasses the renovation, modernization, and new construction of NIH’s most specialized facilities, including biomedical research laboratories, animal care and vivarium spaces, clinical and healthcare facilities, and central utility plants and mission-critical infrastructure. The majority of the work is anticipated at the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland, with additional facilities in Maryland, North Carolina, and Montana. In these environments, where containment integrity and reliable system performance are essential, quality and reliability represent responsibilities that safeguard both the researchers and the science they conduct.
As the federal government’s primary biomedical research agency, NIH comprises 27 Institutes and Centers whose work advances human health worldwide and maintains one of the most technically demanding research portfolios anywhere. AFG’s selection for this program is a direct affirmation of the firm’s proven ability to deliver quality management and commissioning services in the nation’s most complex, mission-critical research environments, and of NIH’s confidence in AFG to do so.
“This award expands AFG's federal portfolio in the most demanding sector of research construction. NIH sets the bar for technical complexity, and our team is ready to meet it on every task order. ”
