NAICS Code: 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (Note: While Other Transaction Authority is not subject to FAR-based small business regulations, this NAICS code is provided for market research to help the Government understand the size and demographics of the interested industrial base.) Small Business Size Standard: $45 Million PROJECT OVERVIEW The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District, has a requirement for the design and construction of an Aircraft Maintenance Hangar at Fort Campbell, KY. The scope of work consists of furnishing all necessary equipment, materials, labor, supervision, quality control, and supplies to deliver a fully functional aviation maintenance facility. Key features of the project may include: Aviation Maintenance Space: Large clear-span hangar bays designed to accommodate rotary-wing aircraft. Specialized Systems: Complex fire protection/suppression systems (e.g., HEF/AFFF), overhead bridge cranes, fall protection, and specialized grounding/power systems. Administrative & Support: Adjoining maintenance shops, tool rooms, administrative offices, and personnel support spaces. Airfield Paving & Site Work: Construction of connecting taxiways, aircraft parking aprons, security fencing, and utility tie-ins. Estimated Acquisition Magnitude: $220,000,000.00 Planned Acquisition Strategy: Progressive Design-Build (PDB) via Other Transaction Authority (OTA) The Government is considering utilizing an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement for a prototype project under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. This authority is intended for military construction projects that involve testing and experimentation associated with new and emergent construction technologies to achieve potential benefits such as enhanced mission resilience, improved installation support, or cost and schedule reduction. The anticipated delivery method is Progressive Design-Build (PDB). Phase 1 (Design & Pre-Construction): The Government and the OT Awardee will work collaboratively to advance the design, perform constructability reviews, conduct open-book cost estimating, and mitigate project risks. Phase 2 (Construction): Upon reaching an agreed-upon level of design (e.g., 60% to 90%), the Awardee will propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). If the GMP is accepted…
