About this file

This is a Sources Sought Notice (W9127S26BA002) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, to conduct market research for a Design-Bid-Build construction project at Ebbing Air Force Base in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The project involves constructing an F-35B Vertical Landing Pad (VLP) and associated taxiway infrastructure to support short take-off vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft operations. The scope includes a single VLP constructed with advanced high-temperature concrete (HTC) material combined with standard runway-grade concrete, a taxiway connecting to existing runways and taxiways, improvements to existing taxiways and shoulders, and installation of lighting, striping, drainage, and other related features in accordance with applicable airfield design standards. The anticipated solicitation is scheduled for October 2026, with a contract award expected to be a Firm Fixed-Price arrangement.

Interested firms must respond by April 30, 2026, with responses limited to five pages and submitted via email to Markeith Berry (markeith.j.berry@usace.army.mil) and Christopher R. Preston II (christopher.r.preston@usace.army.mil). The notice requests information on firm qualifications, business size (including small business classifications such as LB, SB, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB), relevant experience with high-temperature concrete mix design per UFC 3-260-02 and airport runway/taxiway projects per UFC 3-260-01, and bonding capacity for construction contracts. This is a market research notice only; no contract will be awarded from this notice, and non-response does not preclude participation in future solicitations.
