The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District has published Special Notice NOI - W912QR26JBMDL1 regarding a Military Repair Army Reserves restoration project at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Trenton, New Jersey. The project involves the restoration of approximately 21,000 square feet for an Area Maintenance Support Activity. This Special Notice was posted on April 14, 2026, and represents a construction opportunity classified under Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220). The notice indicates that formal solicitation for proposals will follow, making this an advance notification to potential contractors regarding the upcoming project requirements and specifications.

The primary objective of this notice is to inform the contracting community of a planned project that will include a sole-source brand requirement for BEST door locks, specifically the Best Coremax equipment, to ensure consistent technology and compliance with Army Reserve criteria. All doors included in the project must utilize locks from this brand, with Superior Hardware Products and Southern Lock (both GSA suppliers) designated as the only authorized vendors for this keying system. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties who believe they can meet equivalent performance standards may submit a written capability statement to the contracting officer by the April 30, 2026 deadline, providing sufficient technical detail to demonstrate their ability to satisfy the requirement. All compatible systems must comply with Buy American requirements for construction materials under applicable federal provisions and clauses. Contractors must have the capability to work on federal military installations and meet all Army Reserve specifications for this restoration project.
