About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS) for the Environmental Construction and Optimization Services (ECOS) program, which will provide support to the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC). The program will be a follow-on to the Base Realignment and Closure Environmental Construction Optimization Services (BECOS) ID/IQ contracts, with some changes. The anticipated period of performance is September 2026 to September 2036, with a 10-year ordering period. The government is seeking industry input on their interest, qualifications, and capabilities to aid in finalizing requirements, evaluation criteria, and contract terms. Key topics addressed include the potential contract structure (fixed-price, cost-plus), risk mitigation, handling commodity price fluctuations, small business participation, and managing larger regional groupings of installations. The government is also requesting vendor feedback on the draft Performance Work Statement.
