MACH1_AOI_Muns_Igloos at Dyess AFB - LOE 1 and LOE 2

The Air Force Installation Contracting Agency, through the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at Dyess AFB, is seeking commercial design and engineering partners to develop a site-specific design package for rapidly deployable Earth-Covered Munitions storage facilities, with Phase 1 submissions due September 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST. The solicitation is structured as an Other Transaction Agreement under the Modernized Agile Construction Horizons (MACH1) Umbrella Program and will proceed through progressive design-build delivery.

The Government seeks innovations that compress traditional military construction timelines while maintaining blast resistance, structural integrity, and environmental controls. The designed facility must safely store up to 500,000 lbs of Hazard Division 1.1 explosives and achieve Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board "7-bar" headwall designation to reduce inter-magazine and intra-line distances. The total cost ceiling for design and physical construction is $6,000,000, with completion targeted within 12 months.

Respondents must submit a five-page Phase 1 Solution Brief (white paper) to 772ESS.PKA.MACH1@us.af.mil including the AOI Notice ID in the subject line. The submission must include a title page, one-page executive summary, core concept describing site-specific design methodology and DDESB approval strategy, and credentials demonstrating at least three completed projects within the past 10 years with minimum $10 million total value involving Earth-Covered Magazines, DoD explosives safety facilities, or rapid commercial construction methodologies. Phase 1 evaluation criteria are technical merit and design approach, speed to design completion, and company viability and experience. Selected respondents advance to Phase 2 pitch sessions per MACH1 procedures.
