About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Installation Contracting Agency, through the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS), is preparing to procure a Progressive Design-Build renovation and expansion of military working dog (MWD) facilities at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, by Other Transaction Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 2808a, with Phase 1 Solution Briefs due November 17, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used." The selected contractor performs both progressive design and physical construction under two consecutive lines of effort: LOE 1 (Design and Planning) and LOE 2 (Physical Construction). The project carries a $4 million guaranteed maximum price, and temporary housing for displaced kennels is included within that price. Work covers renovating Buildings 6444 and 6447 and constructing a 1,100 SF addition, with eight kennel spaces in the temporary and permanent facilities, and must meet Seismic Design Category D requirements. Planning assumes FY 2028 execution under Project Number XUMU171121C. Respondents must be U.S.-based general contractors or design-build joint ventures with comparable-scale experience using non-traditional methods such as Fabric Engineered Tensile Facilities, Industrialized Construction, or 3D-printed techniques on projects exceeding $4 million within the past 10 years. Per the QA, three such completed projects are required, and team members may satisfy them collectively. All personnel require rapid unescorted installation access, and key personnel are "potentially requiring active Secret clearances." Phase 1 is a five-page Solution Brief covering technical approach, design methodology, GMP and schedule strategy, company credentials, and project examples, submitted to 772ESS.PKA.MACH1@us.af.mil. The questions deadline of October 27, 2026 has passed. A November 9, 2026 update released government responses to questions as an attached QA document.

This Area of Interest (AOI) is published under the Modernized Agile Construction Horizons (MACH1) Umbrella Program Notice. All submissions must adhere to the procedures and guidelines outlined in the parent MACH1 framework document unless otherwise tailored herein. Any resulting agreement will be an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) executed under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a.
The 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS) is is executing a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) project to renovate existing military working dog (MWD) facilities and construct a new addition at Vandenberg Space Force Base (SFB), California. Under this agreement, the selected contractor will execute both the progressive design and physical construction to deliver a fully functional, code-compliant compound (Project Number: XUMU171121C). The current MWD kennel and admin facilities (Buildings 6444 and 6447) at Vandenberg SFB fail quarterly inspections and contain critical safety hazards that endanger military personnel and canine assets. Transitioning to a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) model is critical to eliminate traditional design-bid-build delays, rapidly deliver compliant spaces, and preserve the security mission of the 30th Space Wing. There are (2) two distinct lines of effort (LOEs) for this requirement: LOE 1 - Design & Planning (Design) and LOE 2 - Physical Construction.
