1.0 Preamble

This document provides a description of the parcel(s) available at the installation for potential development under the Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) program. It is intended to support interested parties in reviewing the opportunity in connection with the Request for Lease Proposal (RFLP).

2.0 Installation Overview

Edwards Air Force Base operates under the direct oversight of the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and is globally recognized as the focal point for American aerospace research, development, and flight testing. The installation's core mission is to plan, execute, and analyze developmental flight and ground testing for new aircraft, weapons systems, avionics, and integration software before they are delivered to operational units. Under its guiding vision, "Victory...Forged by Test," the base ensures that technology fielded to joint warfighters is safe, reliable, and lethal.

This developmental testing is supported by highly advanced ground infrastructure, including the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) and the extensive natural flat surfaces of the Rogers and Rosamond Dry Lakes, which serve as invaluable emergency landing zones for experimental craft.

The operational footprint of Edwards Air Force Base is anchored by the 412th Test Wing (412 TW), which serves as the host wing and directly manages the base's flying, maintenance, and engineering components. Co-located on the installation is the headquarters of the Air Force Test Center (AFTC), which leads the broader test and evaluation mission across the entire Air Force enterprise. The base also hosts the elite U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School (TPS), where top-tier pilots, navigators, and engineers are trained to conduct experimental flight tests. Beyond Department of Defense operations, the base is home to the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, a vital hub for civilian aeronautical research, and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Rocket Propulsion Division located on Leuhman Ridge, which spearheads high-thrust rocket technology development.

3.0 Land

EAFB offers approximately 215 acres spread over various sites on the installation, but outside the security access gate, for development. Additional details for each site are below:

4.0 Tenants and Improvements

The site has no existing improvements.

5.0 Transportation and Access

5.1 Secured Access

The site is located on federal property but outside of the installation’s security fence.

5.2 Vehicular Access

Vehicular access from Rosamond Blvd.

6.0 Infrastructure and Utilities

Southern California overhead distribution lines are located on eastern edge of the parcels. Water and gas would have to be routed from off installation.

7.0 Development Considerations

None

7.1 Security

UFC 4-010-01 DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings defines the AT standards that apply to all facilities. The EAFB Security Forces antiterrorism officer should be consulted to determine the applicable standards for specific buildings.

7.2 Environmental Considerations

No Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBS) have been completed, the contractor will be responsible for the cost and contracting out of the EBS.

At least a Phase 1 survey will be required for the entire site. I would anticipate notifications or additional consultation being required for all surveys. Tribal notification/ consultation will also be required.

7.3 Zoning

The installation is exempt from AICUZ as all of our noise contours are within the installation boundary.

7.4 Air Installation Compatible Use Zones

The boarding land is noted as a training buffer.

7.7 Environmental Restoration Program

For the site south of Rosamond Blvd (APN 471-030-08):

No known ERP sites.

For the site north of Rosamond Blvd:

The location has no known ERP sites but is located close to a known ERP location. CERCLA site (Site 280) is in northwest corner of parcel (APN 471-030-02) and immediately adjacent to Kern County Rosamond Burn Dump (closed). Site 280 is to be avoided in considering possible development opportunities. It’s preferred to avoid Site 280. However, development can occur so long as the EUL/developer assumes the cleanup responsibility for the overlapping acreage (Site 280 contamination and development footprint).

7.8 Cultural Resources

At a minimum, both parcels will require a Phase I cultural resources survey and consultation with the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
