McLaughlin Construction Corp. is shopping for M/WBE and service-disabled-veteran subcontractors on two separate New York State Thruway Authority contracts at once, both posted to the NYS Contract Reporter the same day. One is contract TAN 25-20B (D215043), a highways and roadways maintenance and new-construction job. The other is TAB 26-7 (D215075), described in the posting as safety improvements. Both sub-bid windows close October 30.

Neither ad names a dollar figure, a location beyond "Various," or a scope breakdown beyond the classification code — this is a prime casting a net for outreach, not a bid tabulation, and the Contract Reporter listing is the only public record of it so far.

“Two separate prime contracts, same company, same publish date, same 38-day window.”

What's notable is the timing: two separate prime contracts, same company, same publish date, same 38-day sub-bid window. A paving, guiderail, or traffic-safety sub working the Thruway corridor now has two live doors into McLaughlin's bid at once, rather than chasing one opportunity at a time.

If you're a certified M/WBE or SDVOB sub who does highway work, both windows close the same day — worth a single call to McLaughlin to find out if the two contracts share a region or a schedule, since bidding both means splitting crew commitments across two jobs you don't yet know overlap.
