About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command has awarded a sole-source contract (FA665626C0008) on August 6, 2026, for architect and engineering services to update plans and specifications for Project ZQEL 21-0004, Renovate B540 Security Forces Center, originally completed in October 2021.
The justification rests on professional liability and technical continuity. The original A&E firm holds professional liability for the design and cannot legally be replaced without assuming that liability through an exhaustive, independent redesign. Additionally, the original firm retains the native Building Information Modeling files and Building Systems engineering data; a new contractor would face significant ramp-up time and would be forced to duplicate efforts to reconstruct these models. Awarding to a competing firm would require the government to pay for complete recreation of baseline engineering calculations, site surveys, and structural and electrical load models already completed and paid for in October 2021. The requirement involves updating the plans and specifications to meet current codes. Work is classified under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC C211 (Architect and Engineering—General).
Notice text
This requirement includes updating plans and specifications for Project ZQEL 21-0004 Renovate B540 Security Forces Center
which was originally completed in October 2021. The plans and specifications need to be updated to meet current codes. An
Architect and Engineering firm needs to review the current plans and specifications.
The original A&E firm holds professional liability for the design. A new A&E firm cannot legally sign and "stamp" (certify)
another firm's design drawings without conducting an exhaustive, independent, top-to-bottom redesign to assume that
liability.
The original A&E firm holds the native Building Information Modeling (BIM) files and Building Systems engineering data. A
new contractor would require significant ramp-up time and potentially duplicate efforts to reconstruct these models.
Competing this requirement would force the government to pay a new firm to completely recreate the baseline engineering
calculations, site surveys, and structural/electrical load models that were already completed and paid for in October 2021.
Awarded contract FA665626C0008 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-08-06.
