This pre-solicitation notice is for market research purposes only and solicits capabilities from experienced construction contractors to perform demolition, earthwork, site work, and paving of a full airfield runway, aircraft taxiway, and helicopter taxiway. Qualified contractors must be U.S. firms, as Foreign Military Financing funds may only be awarded to domestic entities, and they must demonstrate prior experience with military base construction, remote Middle East operations, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects. Contractors submitting capabilities statements must document their business qualifications, relevant construction experience, maximum bonding capacity, SAM registration status, and ability to obtain Defense Base Act insurance. The deadline for submitting capabilities statements is March 13, 2026, with responses directed to Christopher Hunt (christopher.hunt@usace.army.mil) and Millicent Kaczmarzewski (millicent.kaczmarzewski@usace.army.mil).
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a significant construction opportunity with an estimated project value between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. The period of performance extends for 640 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, and the work includes a base contract line item (CLIN) covering demolition, site grading, and paving work, plus one optional CLIN for additional scope. Interested contractors must classify themselves appropriately (small business, 8(a), veteran-owned, HUBZone, women-owned, or other), confirm capability to perform at least 15 percent of construction costs, and specify their estimated subcontracting percentages. The project falls under NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and PSC code Y1BD (Construction of Airport Runways and Taxiways), requiring contractors to possess relevant experience with facility-specific work such as runway demolition, grading and leveling, taxiway paving, and electrical runway light installation.
