SOURCES SOUGHT Dover Air Force Base Dormitory

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is issuing a Sources Sought notice for construction of a 245-room dormitory at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, with responses due August 17, 2026. This is a market-research phase preceding formal solicitation; respondents should demonstrate capability, experience, and capacity relevant to military construction rather than submit binding proposals.

The scope encompasses a multi-level steel frame structure with reinforced concrete foundation and floor slabs, 8-inch interior masonry walls and 12-inch exterior masonry walls, sloped metal roof, pavements, and utilities. The dormitory will feature Enhanced 1+1 room configurations (private bathrooms per room), living modules, laundry facilities, vending areas, storage, administrative spaces, and recreation facilities. Work is performed at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware (Kent County).

The project is classified under NIGP 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). The Sources Sought notice does not establish a contract value, term, or formal evaluation criteria at this stage; those details will emerge in the subsequent competitive solicitation. Respondents should address relevant experience with military dormitory construction, multi-story structural systems, and similar-scale institutional projects to position themselves for the formal bid process that will follow this market research phase.
