About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, has published a Sources Sought Notice for the Administrative Facility Interior Renovations II (AFIRII) project located in Adams County, Fairfield, Pennsylvania. This Special Notice, posted on March 4, 2026, is for informational and market research purposes only and is not a request for bids or proposals. The notice informs potential offerors of the government's intent to include proprietary brand name items in a future construction solicitation under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1 authority. The project, identified as W912DR26X1AH5, seeks to determine the availability of brand name equipment and identify alternative sources capable of providing equivalent products. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with responding to this notice.
The primary objective of this Sources Sought Notice is threefold: to notify potential offerors of the government's intent to solicit brand name only components, to identify potential sources for the specified brand name items and equivalents, and to announce the Army's intention to pursue sole source contracting if the market cannot provide equivalent products. Contractors interested in responding should note the March 20, 2026 deadline for submissions. The notice specifies 132 line items of specialized equipment across multiple categories, including networking infrastructure, audio-visual systems, HVAC components, control room furniture, video conferencing systems, and power management equipment from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, Honeywell, Bosch, and Evans Consoles. If equivalent products are identified through this market research, the component will be embedded competitively in the construction project solicitation; conversely, if no equivalents exist, the government will issue a sole source justification. There are no specific eligibility restrictions mentioned, and this notice serves as an open market inquiry to all potential sources.
