P130FF Communications Center Fixed Facility Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic intends to solicit fixed facility construction at Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy, with a Request for Information (RFI) due September 2, 2026. This is market research for interior build-out of a secure communications facility with no set-aside anticipated.

The project scope involves construction of a Fixed Facility (Secure Area) within a communications center and carries an anticipated magnitude between $10 million and $25 million. Work will be performed at Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily, Italy, and is subject to all Italian host nation regulations.

The RFI targets firms capable of addressing four specific areas: particular challenges or limitations performing construction in Italy with SECRET facility clearance level; likelihood of obtaining proper SOA (Status of Authority) Certifications for work in Italy; if unable to obtain SOA Certifications independently, likelihood of forming a Joint Venture with a certified partner while maintaining SECRET facility clearance at the Prime Contractor and all Joint Venture member levels; and particular challenges in performing construction within Sicily, Italy.

Respondents must submit company information, statements addressing each area of interest with supporting basis, brief descriptions of applicable past work involving Fixed Facility (Secure Area) construction outside the Continental United States with details on methodology and technical approach for material acquisition and document control, and any additional relevant information. Submissions are limited to five single-sided pages with 12-point minimum font, marked for proprietary information where applicable, and must be sent to Elizabeth.l.roberts31.civ@us.navy.mil by 2:00 p.m. EDT no later than September 2, 2026. Late responses will not be accepted.
