Statement of Need:

The Department of the Navy (DON) is modernizing its aging infrastructure, which continues to degrade due to poor environmental conditions, structural deficiencies, and outdated building systems. The goal is to improve warfighter quality of life, ensuring the warfighter’s living and learning environments match the standard of excellence expected on the battlefield. Current military construction processes alone cannot meet the speed or scalability required to achieve the DON’s goal to modernize more than $6B of its barracks portfolio while aligning with operational tempo and strategic readiness goals.

To address these challenges, the DON seeks to procure new barracks constructed using advanced manufacturing and Industrialized Construction (IC) methods that are capable of delivering high-quality, energy-efficient, and resilient facilities. The use of IC must accelerate delivery timelines and reduce both construction and lifecycle costs while delivering increased quality, durability, resilience, and lifecycle performance using a scalable and repeatable modular design and construction methodology.

This AOI is in reference to “OTA 1: MCB Camp Pendleton, CA (Total ~655,957 Square Feet (SF), 10 Buildings)” mentioned in the NAVFAC Special Notice posted to SAM.gov on 1 July 26, which can be found here:

https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/01f4c64f2229452f8b0d4760b977f43f/view

Desired Solution Objectives:

The DON is seeking commercial vendors with solutions that directly address the challenges listed above while achieving the following objectives:

• Utilize barracks room IC design standards provided by DoN to define advanced manufacturing and IC methodologies (such as volumetric modular, hybrid, and/or Kit of Parts) to deliver high-performing, durable barracks.

• Provide barracks that meet or exceed traditional DoD Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) and Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) standards. Alternative commercial building methods may be considered where proven equivalency or superiority is demonstrated in durability, longevity, life/safety requirements, and force protection.

• Integrate design, manufacturing, assembly, and onsite construction activities into a streamlined and coordinated project delivery approach.

• Maintain disciplined schedule and cost control across all project phases to support https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/01f4c64f2229452f8b0d4760b977f43f/view accelerated delivery objectives by:

• Significantly reducing design and build timelines compared to traditional commercial construction.

• Providing greater cost predictability and budget certainty through early vendor engagement, integrated solution development, and standardized and repeatable construction methodologies.

• Reducing design and construction costs compared to traditional commercial construction methods.

• Utilize Modular Open Systems Approach architecture with open, standardized interfaces to accelerate maintenance and reduce lifecycle costs.

NAVFAC’s OTA Process for Construction Projects under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a:

Phase 1 - AOI

• AOI Posting & Notification: The Government publicly issues an AOI outlining the core mission need, facility requirements, and project objectives.

• White Paper Submission: Interested vendors submit a concise, ten (10) page (five (5) if double sided) White Paper detailing their qualifications and unique technical concept, proposed delivery approach, and relevant vendor history/viability.

• Initial Evaluation & Short-listing: The Government evaluates the White Papers based on Relevant Experience, Technical Approach, and Vendor Capability and short-lists vendors to proceed to the Request for Project Proposal (RPP) phase.

• White Paper Validity Period (Portal): AOI White Paper submissions remain valid and eligible for consideration for 1 year from the AOI submission due date with an option to extend to 2 years solely within the Government’s discretion. During this 1 year validity period, if a government requirement and resources become available, a portaled vendor may be invited to Phase 2 to receive an RPP. If 1 year passes without a government notification to formally move into Phase 2 or notification of extension, the vendor will no longer be eligible for an award under this AOI.

Phase 2 - RPP

• RPP Submission: Vendors short-listed from Phase I - AOI will be sent an RPP with additional details of the Government’s requirements and are invited to submit a comprehensive full proposal that includes an expanded technical approach, detailed price and schedule estimates (rough order of magnitude), as well as data rights/IP assertions.

• RPP Evaluation & Pitch Sessions: The Government evaluates the full proposals for best-value. During this step, vendors may be invited to conduct an interactive “pitch” session.

• Negotiation of Agreement: The Government negotiates an agreement with the selected vendor(s) that have been determined to have proposed the most beneficial option to the Government. During this process, vendors may propose their own terms and conditions, including service or license agreements, for consideration during negotiations. The Government will assess and may adopt these proposed terms and conditions if they are determined beneficial to the Government and compliant with applicable law, regulations and policy.

Follow-on Production:

Vendors are advised that any Other Transaction (OT) agreement awarded in response to this AOI may result in the award of a follow-on production OT agreement or contract without the use of further competitive procedures. The follow-on production OT agreement or contract may be issued and available for use by other Department of War (DoW) organizations and, as a result, the magnitude of the follow-on production OT agreement or contract could be significantly larger than that of the original transaction. As such, any OT will include the following statement relative to the potential for follow-on production:

"In accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, and upon a determination that the participants in this transaction successfully completed a complete and usable facility or a complete and usable improvement to a facility, this competitively awarded OT agreement may result in the award of a follow-on production OTA or contract without further competition.”

DoW requires vendors without a CAGE code to register in SAM https://SAM.gov if selected for an agreement award. The Government recommends that prospective vendors begin this process as early as possible.

Note: Projects executed under 10 U.S.C § 2808a must be otherwise authorized by law and are subject to applicable laws, regulations, and policies. Successful awardee(s) will be responsible for adhering to the following, but not limited to Buy American Act, Davis Bacon Act, Miller Act, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification.
