About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center has issued a Notice of Intent (AFCEC-25-R-0002) seeking opportunities for the development of Artificial Intelligence Data Centers at Air Force installations through Enhanced Use Lease authority under 10 U.S.C. 2667. This Special Notice, posted on September 5, 2025, with responses due by October 15, 2025, represents the Air Force's initiative to leverage private sector partnerships for AI infrastructure development on military installations. The DAF is primarily seeking ground lease payments as consideration and may favorably consider energy resilience as an additional component if energy generation is included in proposals. All proposals must demonstrate no negative impact to the energy or water resiliency of the associated Air Force installation or surrounding community.
The Notice targets five specific Air Force installations: Edwards AFB (California), Arnold AFB (Tennessee), Robins AFB (Georgia), Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (New Jersey), and Davis-Monthan AFB (Arizona), with candidate parcels ranging from approximately 90 to 560 acres across multiple sites. Each location is anticipated to support large-scale data center development requiring over 100 megawatts of new load dedicated to AI data generation. Interested developers must demonstrate prior experience in planning, financing, and constructing hyperscale data center projects, including energy components and utility coordination. The Air Force plans to release a Request for Lease Proposal in October 2025, and developers will be expected to conduct independent analysis of opportunities and constraints, as both the Notice of Intent and forthcoming RFLP will contain minimal information on power, utilities, and infrastructure. Selected lease applicants will be required to provide a full development plan prior to closing.
