# NNSA Awards Fort Chaffee Training Building

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) awarded Qayaq Government Solutions LLC a **$33 million** design-build contract on September 29, 2026, for a multi-purpose training building at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. The SAM.gov notice was an award announcement, not an open solicitation. The reported five NNSA awards to Qayaq total $85.6 million; the article identified no advance public solicitation notices and says the justification for the 2026 award is due October 13, 2026. It also reports that a public justification for a separate 2025 award has not been located, without establishing wrongdoing. These details matter to contractors distinguishing award notices from active competitions and assessing procurement transparency in NNSA construction work.

- **Key deadline:** The 2026 award justification is due October 13, 2026 (7 days from October 6). Contractors can check SAM.gov for its posting; the award notice itself is not an opportunity to submit a bid.
- Qayaq's five reported NNSA awards total $85.6 million, indicating a substantial series of construction awards in this area. Firms pursuing similar work should use the award information to understand the market, while verifying any active solicitation separately.
- The reported absence of a publicly located justification for the 2025 award is a transparency and documentation issue to distinguish from a confirmed procurement violation.
