647 CES Architect and Engineer Services

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is conducting market research to identify qualified architect-engineer (A-E) firms capable of providing professional design services for renovation projects at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) in Hawaii. The two primary projects require complete 100% construction design documents: renovation of Building 2155H into a modern Joint Mission Planning Facility (approximately 21,672 square feet including a 3,000 square-foot Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility compliant with ICD/ICS 705 standards), and renovation of Building 2131H for a Ni-CAD Battery Shop (approximately 671 square feet). Qualified firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of DoD experience with similar scope and complexity, hold professional licensure in Hawaii, possess expertise in occupied facility renovations with secure areas and complex mechanical-electrical-plumbing systems, demonstrate UFC compliance capability, and maintain local availability for site visits and meetings. The Government will evaluate firm qualifications, specialized experience, past performance, capacity, location/local knowledge, and business information through submitted responses, but this pre-solicitation notice is not a formal solicitation and does not request price proposals. Interested firms must submit responses by May 1, 2026 at 1200 Hawaii Standard Time.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation, though the anticipated contract is expected to be set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 541310 as a firm fixed-price award. No incumbent contractors or current contract holders are identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The Joint Mission Planning Facility project requires a 270-calendar-day performance period with key milestones at 10 days (kick-off), 120 days (65% design development), 220 days (95% construction documents), and 270 days (100% final submission), while the Ni-CAD Battery Shop project operates on a compressed 120-calendar-day schedule with design development due within 60 days and final documents within 120 days. The Ni-CAD project involves specialized design requirements including dedicated HVAC systems maintaining specific environmental conditions with at least 12 air changes per hour, hydrogen detection systems with staged alarm setpoints, emergency exhaust capabilities, and comprehensive plumbing support with safety stations. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
