MACH1_AOI_Military Working Dog Kennels at JBSA-LOE1

The US Air Force is seeking an innovative commercial partner to execute a project in two distinct Lines of Effort (LOE): Design & Planning (LOE 1) and Physical Construction (LOE 2) for the upgrade of Military Working Dog (MWD) kennel facilities at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) - Lackland West and the Chapman Training Annex. The project aims to house and train 850 dogs across two sites to support the Defense Military Working Dog (MWD) Kennel Program. The design developed in LOE 1 must account for the full scope of these requirements, including kennels, exercise and training areas, and support facilities. The project requires the use of Engineered Tensile Facilities (ETF) as the baseline structure. • The project involves designing and constructing MWD kennel facilities at two sites. • The facilities must meet strict animal welfare, department policy, and facility criteria requirements. • The project requires the use of ETF as the baseline structure. • The design package at the end of LOE 1 must adhere to relevant DoD and federal standards. • The project involves a multi-phased procedure, with the initial step being the submission of a Phase 1 Solution Brief.
