The contract, awarded on September 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2025, is structured with a base line item covering Buildings 7316 and 7416 for the 7th Wing Security Affairs office, and two option line items for additional installations in Building 7007 (7th Civil Engineer Squadron) and Building 7320 (7th Comptroller Squadron).
