About this opportunity
The United States Space Force Operational Contracting Enterprise is hosting an industry day on September 14, 2026, at the Innovation Hub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to discuss new construction contracting authorities and solicit industry input on accelerated acquisition methods. The event is restricted to general contractors and limited to two personnel per company; attendance is open to U.S. citizens only.
The Space Force has been granted new flexible authorities for construction contracting, including Other Transaction Authority under 10 U.S.C. 2808a, and seeks to clarify that these tools are designed to accelerate delivery timelines, not replace existing vehicles such as Multiple Award Construction Contracts, Military Construction funding, or Facility Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization programs. The general session runs 0900–1200; one-on-one sessions follow from 1300–1400. The event will be held in person and via Microsoft Teams.
The Senior Contracting Official will explain how new construction authorities fit within the broader acquisition landscape. The Space Force also seeks to learn from industry about commercial construction best practices and innovative methods for concept-to-capability delivery. The government anticipates $5.6 billion in Military Construction projects and $3.3 billion in Facility Sustainment funding from fiscal years 2027 through 2031 across multiple Space Force bases including Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, Patrick, Vandenberg, and others.
Registration is required via form available at https://forms.osi.apps.mil/r/w3yV4dh0zp. The registration deadline is October 31, 2026.
Notice text
Industry teammates, the Senior Contracting Official (SCO) for Operational and Enterprise Space Contracting invites you to a pivotal event discussing the future of construction in the U.S. Space Force. We are creating a forum to hear industry concerns and clarify the purpose of these new authorities to move faster, not to limit competition or replace valuable tools like Multiple Award Construction Contracts (MACCs). We have been granted new, flexible authorities for construction contracting, including Other Transaction Authority (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, and we want to partner with you to redefine how we build for the future.
Join Us To:
- Hear directly from the SCO on the commitment to a fair, transparent, and collaborative construction process.
- Understand the New Authorities - A clear breakdown of what Construction OTAs are (and what they aren't), the 2808a authority, and how these tools fit into the broader acquisition landscape.
- Teach Us - This is an opportunity for industry to educate the government on commercial construction best practices and innovative methods to go from concept to capability – faster.
Event Details:
- Date: 14 September 2026
- Time: 0900-1200 (General Session); 1300-1400 (One on One Sessions)
- Location: Innovation Hub, 2424 Garden of the Gods Rd, Colorado Springs, CO (Will also be presented on Microsoft Teams)
Who Should Attend?
This event is for members of the construction industry, specifically general contractors, to come together to discuss, the Department of the Air Force (USAF & USSF) contracting processes including the new authorities and how we can work better with industry partners to achieve a more efficient means of awarding projects. Limited to two personnel per company. Registration Form: https://forms.osi.apps.mil/r/w3yV4dh0zp
