About this file
This sources sought notice requests information from potential offerors for the construction of a 36,000 SF Special Operations Forces Operations Support Facility at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The project includes command, life support, planning and training, medical, operations, and communications/server spaces. Interested firms must submit their name, address, point of contact, SAM registration, business size designation, bonding capacity, and past experience on three projects over $17.5 million and three projects over 21,500 SF including two SCIFs by May 27, 2019. Team arrangements require documentation of roles and socioeconomic status. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will use this information for market research prior to potential acquisition of design and construction services for the $25-100 million project.
