Sentinel Real Property Services

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command seeks contractor support for real property access and transaction support activities in the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Program modernization effort, with white paper submissions due September 4. This procurement is a 100% small-business set-aside and will be awarded using DFARS 212.70 as authority.

Place of performance is the F.E. Warren Air Force Base operational area in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado; the CSO announcement will be updated in the future to include areas surrounding Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana and Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. The scope involves securing temporary construction access across approximately 1,650 private land tracts in southeast Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado. The Department of the Air Force currently maintains 1,575 miles of perpetual easements (16.5 feet wide) supporting Minuteman III ICBM communication cables but requires additional temporary workspace up to 100 feet wide for Sentinel construction activities. The critical deadline for resolving all tracts is March 30, 2028.

The Air Force will select a qualified contractor pool of 3 to 7 firms based on white paper submissions not to exceed 12 pages.
