This notice serves as an informational update to stakeholders regarding the forthcoming solicitation details and clarifications.

FARM III is an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) multiple-award construction contract designed to support design-build and two-phase design-build projects across multiple AEDC locations, including Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee, Mountain View in California, White Oak in Maryland, Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, and other geographically separated units. The contract encompasses a broad range of technical capabilities including mechanical systems, electrical infrastructure, instrumentation, data and control systems, air duct work, high-pressure piping, large pressure vessels, cooling systems, and power systems.

The December 19, 2025 due date applies to this informational notice, though contractors should monitor for the formal solicitation. Interested contractors should review the draft SOW and Q&A documents to understand technical requirements, software specifications (including AutoCAD 2018 compatibility), and professional engineering service expectations, as many requirements will be tailored based on individual task order complexity, cost, schedule, and risk factors.
