UPDATE: RFI #1 The Date Offers Due has been extended to March 22, 2026 05:00 PM CST. All other information remain unchanged. END OF UPDATE Introduction and Purpose: SUBJECT: The Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) is conducting market research for Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma - Enhanced Use Lease Opportunities. DISCLAIMER: This posting is issued solely for conducting market research and planning purposes to determine qualified and interested potential sources and does not constitute a solicitation. Neither unsolicited quotes nor any other kind of offers will be considered in response to this posting. Responses to this post are not offers and will not be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this posting. Therefore, this is not a notice of Solicitation Issuance. This is a request for information (RFI) for planning purposes only. With this RFI, the Department of the Air Force (the “Air Force”), through the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), requests an expression of interest from prospective entities (developers, contractors, teams, consortiums, joint venture etc.) capable of developing, financing, designing, engineering, permitting, planning, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining, and operating a commercial real estate development project at Tinker Air Force Base (TAFB), Oklahoma.
