About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Middle East District is conducting a Request for Information and Sources Sought Notice to evaluate market capability for alternative delivery methods, specifically Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC), to support pre-construction activities and construction of secure, ICD-705-compliant facilities at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, with responses due by June 5, 2026.
This is a market-research RFI only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids, proposals, or quotations. Responses will inform future Government acquisition decisions but are not offers and cannot form binding contracts. Responders should not expect responses to restrict the Government to any particular acquisition approach or guarantee inclusion on a prospective bidders list.
Work will be performed at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Facilities must be ICD-705 compliant. The anticipated NAICS codes are 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with PSC Y1AZ (Construction of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings).
The Government is requesting open-ended technical input on IDaC design levels, builder integration strategies, design phase incentives, partnering approaches, collaborative design tools, commissioning planning, collocation center operations, delegated design scope, builder access to design models, and recommendations to optimize project scope and outcomes. Submission of pricing, delivery timelines, market information, and capabilities is authorized for planning purposes only. If a formal solicitation is issued, it will be announced separately and require independent response from this RFI.
