FY28 KC-46A Aircraft Beddown Infrastructure Program | Altus AFB, Oklahoma

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, seeks a design-build team for the FY28 KC-46A Aircraft Beddown Infrastructure Program at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with Statements of Qualifications due October 13, 2026, and pitch presentations scheduled for October 30, 2026. The procurement is an Other Transaction Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 2808a, not subject to competitive set-aside.

Place of performance is Altus Air Force Base, Altus, Oklahoma. The program is a $235 million consolidated capital initiative delivering three primary facility complexes: an 80,988-square-foot KC-46A Aircraft Maintenance Hangar (general maintenance), a 72,729-square-foot KC-46A Multipurpose Hangar (corrosion control and open-tank fuel cell maintenance), and a 74,325-square-foot KC-46A Simulator Facility Phase 4 (flight training center expansion). Additional scope includes relocation of an aircraft refueler parking area and active Liquid Oxygen facility, demolition of three aging structures, and approximately 165,000 square feet of airfield pavement and taxiway tie-ins. Critical constraints require sustained mission readiness with no interruption to active flight operations, simulator schedules, or flight-line refueling throughout construction.

The NAICS code is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction; PSC code is Y1BZ, Construction of Other Airfield Structures. The Government intends to award a single OT Agreement but reserves the right to award separate OTAs based on funding and program needs. The competitive selection process is qualifications-based, with the Government targeting down-selection of up to three design-build teams from initial SOQ review to proceed to pitch presentations. One firm will be selected for Phase 1 design and preconstruction services, with Phase 2 (full design and construction) added by modification upon negotiated fair and reasonable fixed-price or guaranteed maximum price.

Design-build teams must be registered in SAM.gov with valid UEI and demonstrate minimum bonding capacity of $300 million for Performance and Payment Bonds. Phase 1 award is anticipated by December 31, 2026. Design 35 percent and pre-design target is March 13, 2027, with construction beginning in Fiscal Year 2028. Cybersecurity requirements equivalent to CMMC Level 1 apply. Congressional authorization and Military Construction appropriations are required before construction activities commence.
