The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Europe, Africa, Central (EURAFCENT) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Newimar S.A. for the lease extension of tension fabric structure hangars and ancillary facilities at Naval Station Rota, Spain. The notice, posted on July 3, 2025, pertains to extending the lease of two tension fabric structures used as hangars and four modular office facilities currently being leased from Newimar S.A. The leased facilities include maintenance of equipment such as fire protection, HVAC, electrical, telecommunications equipment, and a bridge crane. This procurement falls under the authority of FAR 6.302 and is categorized under NAICS 531120 for lessors of nonresidential buildings and PSC W054 for lease or rental of prefabricated structures and scaffolding.

The purpose of this lease extension is to provide temporary facilities while permanent facilities under construction are not expected to be completed until at least September 2026. The proposed lease period is one year beginning September 30, 2025, with four additional three-month option periods if required. The notice has a response deadline of July 16, 2025, and explicitly states that it is not a request for proposal, quote, or invitation for bid. While this is planned as a sole source procurement, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement, and inquiries received prior to the close date will be considered by the government. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received, with information normally considered only for determining whether to pursue competitive bidding.
