Bomber Agile Common Hangar; 4-Dock Hangar at Tinker Air Force Base

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District will be hosting a Virtual Industry Forum on 18 February 2025 from 9am to 10am (Central Time) to provide information and gauge interest on the construction of the future bomber campus at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma City, OK.  Tulsa District also seeks industry feedback concerning the possible development of a Hangar MATOC.

The Tulsa District has identified the need to reach out to the construction community and highlight this opportunity available to industry.  All prospective prime contractors or subcontractors interested to learn more about the Tulsa District’s upcoming Bomber Agile Common Hangar (BACH) and other hangar projects are invited to attend. 

The meeting will be held virtually (MS Teams).  Contracting and technical representatives will provide information on this project. 

If you would like to attend, please send an email to Jon Larvick (contract specialist) at Jon.A.Larvick@usace.army.mil and provide names, company name, and emails of individuals you'd like invited.

This Bomber Agile Common Hangar (BACH) project constructs a 4-dock hangar for program depot maintenance. The hangar will be 18,302 SM (197,003sf) with associated 39,052 SM (420,352sf) of Apron Paving. The facility consists of a single-story structural steel framed hangar bay with full span trusses on a cast-in-place concrete slab. Support spaces include a single-story shop side with a two-story administration side constructed as a steel framed system, including restrooms and lockers, private offices, administrative space, breakroom and FEMA storm shelter, and hazardous material storage space. The hangar bay will be comprised of a standing seam metal roof with the support areas having a low slope single ply membrane roof. Special deep foundations consisting of piers & driven piles are required. Supporting facilities include all necessary utilities and connections, site demolition and earthwork, apron pavements, fencing, and site improvements to provide a complete and useable facility.  This project will utilize natural gas instead of an all-electric design per Executive Order 14057 since the project was at 35% design on 16 Jan 24.  Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building requirements. This project will comply with Department of Defense antiterrorism/force protection requirements per Unified Facility Criteria 4-010-01. An existing airfield pavement tow-way is being expanded to connect across S Douglas Blvd to the existing airfield.

The 65% design documents and Industry Forum slide deck are attached to this special notice for your information and question preparation.

In accordance with FAR 36/DFARs 236.204, the estimated construction price range for this project is between $250 million and $500 million dollars.
