Design Update Repair Jet Fuel Complex

The Department of Defense has issued a Special Notice regarding the Design Update Repair Jet Fuel Complex project at the Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base in Salt Lake City, Utah. This notice, posted on January 12, 2026, announces the Government's intention to award a firm-fixed price contract for Architect-Engineering (A-E) Services to HDR Engineering Inc., located in Omaha, Nebraska. The contract will support Utah Air National Guard Project USEB20132450 and covers Type A and B A-E services. This award will be made on a sole-source basis pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), and the formal justification document will be published at a later date in compliance with FAR 6.305. This notice is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals or solicitation of offers.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the public of the Government's intent to proceed with a sole-source award to HDR Engineering Inc., the original architect-engineering firm that completed the initial design in 2020. The due date for this notice is January 14, 2026, though this deadline does not apply to competitive submissions, as none are being solicited. No solicitation documentation is currently available, and the Utah Air National Guard has made clear that written responses to this notice will not result in opening the requirement to competition. The sole-source justification is based on HDR Engineering Inc.'s prior work as the original design firm, which provides continuity and technical expertise for the design update and repair project. This opportunity is limited to the designated contractor and does not present an eligibility pathway for other firms to participate in this specific contract award.
