Key Parameters Target Population: Approximately 100 Personnel total, consisting of:

100 United States (US) Army Soldiers Location: Field environment in Cambodia (in vincinity of Multinational Peacekeeping Force Training Center (ភូមិផ្គង់, ផ្លូវលេខ ៤៤, គីឡូម៉ែត្រ ៨, Krong Chbar Mon, Cambodia).

Contractor Requirement: The contractor must be 100% self-sufficient, providing all mobile food preparation containers, cold storage/refrigeration, power generation, potable water, and waste management.

Period of Performance: Feb 08 – MAR 03 2027

1. Executive Summary & Acquisition Background (BLUF) This RFI is to establish a standardized Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS), Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates, and industry capability assessments for Base Life Support (BLS) and permanent facility rehabilitation supporting Exercise Angkor Sentinel.

The acquisition framework isolates External Expeditionary BLS (Component 1)—tailored around strict ADVON, Main Body, and Reverse ADVON exercise execution dates—from Three Mutually Exclusive Facility Upgrade Timelines (Components 2, 3, and 4) designed to achieve a 100% turnkey rehabilitation of all permanent installations under 3-Month, 6-Month, or 12-Month Periods of Performance (PoP).

Cross-cutting services—including vector/pest control, solid waste management, and black/greywater removal—are integrated into each component to maintain force health protection and environmental compliance.

Exercise Timeline Architecture ADVON Phase (Feb 08 – Feb 14)

MAIN BODY EXERCISE

(Feb 15 – Feb 26)

REVERSE ADVON

(Feb 27 – Mar 03)

• Site setup & staging

• Power/water commissioning

• 25 PAX support

• Full 200 PAX sustainment

• Continuous BLS operations

• Force health protection

• Retrograde & teardown

• Waste clearing & handover

• 25 PAX support

2. Operational Parameters & Facility Baseline Supported Population & Operational Schedule Main Exercise Window: February 15, 2027 – February 26, 2027 (12 Operational Days) Advanced Echelon (ADVON): February 08, 2027 – February 14, 2027 (7 Mobilization & Setup Days) Reverse ADVON (Redeployment): February 27, 2027 – March 03, 2027 (5 Teardown & Retrograde Days) Total Expeditionary BLS Operational Period: 24 Continuous Days

3. Component 1: External Base Life Support (Expeditionary BLS) Scope of Work: A 100% self-sufficient expeditionary tent camp located at the Billeting Area, fully isolated from base utilities, operating continuously across the ADVON, Main Exercise, and Reverse ADVON periods (February 08 – March 03). Expeditionary Tent would support 100 Personnel (Includes a dedicated female tent)

(40 Sq Ft Per Soldier)

Or Potta Johns

1 per 25 males;

1 per 17 females

(4 Males; 1 Females)

4. Phased Permanent Facility Rehabilitation Options The Government seeks independent cost models for three potential upgrade durations. Each option encompasses the complete rehabilitation of all facilities (excluding Component 1 External BLS), differentiated by execution tempo, resource surging, material lifecycle, and engineering depth.

OPTION A: Phase 1 (3 Months) OPTION B: Phase 2 (6 Months) OPTION C: Phase 3 (12 Months)

• Rapid Surge

• Operational Restoration

• Weatherproofing & safety focus

• Intermediate Modernization

• MEP Overhaul

• Anti-fungal coatings & HVAC

• Complete Long-Term Overhaul

• Structural & Grid Overhaul

• Permanent training hub standard

5. Component 2: Phase 1 Complete Facility Upgrade (3-Month Rapid Execution) Strategy: A rapid 90-day surge rehabilitation focusing on high-speed restoration, structural weatherproofing, critical life-safety remediation, functional utility reconnection, and rapid deep-cleansing to achieve immediate operational capability.

6. Component 3: Phase 2 Complete Facility Upgrade (6-Month Intermediate Execution) Strategy: A balanced 180-day intermediate modernization providing comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) replacement, durable epoxy/ceramic floor resurfacing, complete interior/exterior anti-fungal repainting, and facility HVAC enhancements.

Underground conduit runs; secondary power sub-panel replacements; perimeter LED street lighting; civil ditch grading to eliminate monsoon rainwater ponding.

7. Component 4: Phase 3 Complete Facility Upgrade (12-Month Full Overhaul) Strategy: A comprehensive 365-day master overhaul and long-term modernization delivering institutional-grade architectural, civil, structural, and electrical resilience, transforming the compound into a state-of-the-art permanent training hub.

Underground conduit runs; secondary power sub-panel replacements; perimeter LED street lighting; civil ditch grading to eliminate monsoon rainwater ponding.

8. Cross-Cutting Environmental & Sustainment Mandates All vendors submitting ROM estimates must factor the following technical performance parameters into their unit pricing across all four components:

Integrated Pest & Vector Management (IPM): Strict compliance with the Cambodia Standards. Mandatory mosquito abatement targeting Aedes and Anopheles species (Dengue/Malaria mitigation), subsurface termite barriers, and indoor baiting.

Solid Waste Management: Provision of heavy-duty covered roll-off dumpsters. Mandatory daily collection, sorting, and manifest-tracked disposal at authorized provincial municipal landfills. No open burning or burying permitted.

Wastewater & Blackwater Extraction: Closed-loop vacuum extraction from mobile units and permanent septic tanks. Disposal must occur at verified government-certified wastewater treatment facilities.

Potable Water Quality Standards: All water deliveries and plumbed potable lines must be certified negative for coliform bacteria and heavy metals, maintaining a free available chlorine (FAC) residual between 0.2 and 2.0 ppm at all points of distribution. FWRA Approved sources.

9. Vendor Market Research Questionnaire Interested industry contractors are requested to complete the following capability assessment to assist the Contracting Office in developing the formal acquisition strategy:
