Welcome to SAM’s Construction Services Wing. The Construction Services Wing on SAM describes the information about the procurement of construction equipment, services, and supplies. This store includes construction services contracts called Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER), which is used by the Army and Air Force. Construction Services would also include the procurement of construction equipment and supplies that may be used by base personnel. This is one of the few areas which has its own North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code (23xxxx). While compliance with 5000.74 is not required for Construction Services, note that the best practices found here and in the Defense Acquisition Guidebook apply. SAM will assist in developing the best approach for acquiring these services.
