NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued solely for market intelligence and acquisition planning purposes. This announcement does not constitute a Solicitation, Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Qualifications (RFQ), or invitation for bid. No solicitation is currently available.

PURPOSE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, is conducting market intelligence to assess industry capability, capacity, interest, and feedback regarding the potential establishment of a multi-year, multi-party Other Transaction Authority (OTA) framework agreement under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. The framework would enable Seattle District to execute a multitude of OTA methods with multiple parties over numerous years, with individual projects or packages authorized through project orders. While the near-term primary focus is the Sentinel Operations and Maintenance Complex (OMC) packages (OMC includes Consolidated Maintenance Facility, Integrated Training Center, Missile Handling Center, and Integrated Command Center) and Operations Group Facility (OGF) at Malmstrom Air Force Base, the Government is also interested in industry feedback on a vehicle broad enough to support construction of numerous facilities at military installations under Seattle District's area of responsibility. 3. PROJECT BACKGROUND – PRIMARY NEAR-TERM FOCUS The Sentinel (Ground Based Strategic Deterrent) program is modernizing the Nation's land-based intercontinental ballistic missile force. At Malmstrom AFB, the Air Force is constructing a suite of new facilities collectively referred to as the OMC, together with the OGF. These facilities replace aging Minuteman III infrastructure and provide purpose-built command, maintenance, training, missile-handling, and operations capabilities for the Sentinel weapon system. Primary near-term facilities under consideration include (approximate sizes based on current planning data; final designs may vary): Consolidated Maintenance Facility (CMF) (Est. Magnitude: $200M-$300M) – Approximately 181,000 SF. Administrative offices, maintenance shops, drive-thru high bays with overhead cranes and vehicle exhaust systems sized for Transporter Erectors (TE), Payload Transporters (PT), and Missile Transporters (MT); vault and secure …
