APCOI Journal
The Architectural Practice Community of Interest publishes a Journal twice a year. Once prior to JETC and once prior to SBC. The purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum to share APCOI events, mentoring and growth opportunities for architects, technical content focused on solutions for federal facilities, and inspiration for the members of SAME and beyond. We hope you enjoy the journal and encourage you to submit content by contacting the editor.
The mission of the Architectural Practice Committee is to promote architectural practice within SAME, broaden the organization’s exposure in the architectural community, increase the role of architecture within military/federal facilities, and recruit more architects, along with expanding networking and mentoring opportunities.

Brave New World: Bid Protests in 2026 and Beyond
Any industry insider can tell you that bid protests have become – for good or for ill – an inevitable feature of many procurements. For that reason, successful contractors know how to both successfully assert a protest challenging a competitor’s improper award, and successfully defend against baseless protests brought by their own disgruntled competitors. -

Progressive Design Build: A New Delivery Method Now Available
Progressive Design Build – New NDAA language. This webinar will help explain the fundamental shift in federal construction delivery and clarify the meaning and application of qualifications-based selection processes for construction. Our expert presenters will address what this model means to acquisition teams and how industry evaluates and responds to these opportunities.
I love to serve the Society with my fellow SAME architects for such a good cause and along the way develop a strong bond both professionally and personally with these people. I can truly call them my friends.
