Description
This solicitation announces a future competition to design and construct the U.S. Air Force’s 91st Cyber Operations Center at Joint Base San Antonio‑Lackland, Texas, using a Progressive Design‑Build (PDB) approach under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA). The effort will be split into two phases: Phase 1 (design and pre‑construction services) selected on the basis of qualifications, followed by Phase 2 (final design and construction) awarded via a firm‑fixed‑price contract after a commercial proposal is submitted. The program budget is $96 million and requires a U.S.–owned firm with extensive experience in secure, hardened facilities and CMMC Level 1 compliance. An Industry Day is scheduled for 06 Oct 2026 to provide project insight and allow questions. Key steps include a qualifications‑based white‑paper submission, mandatory pitch meetings for up to three short‑listed firms, and a best‑value award based on expertise and collaborative capability rather than lowest price.
