The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting market research via a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified firms for the design‑build construction of a highly classified U.S. Space Force Integration Facility at Wright‑Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The project will deliver approximately 333,700 sf of multi‑story, ICD‑705 compliant space, including secure SCIFs, advanced HVAC, backup power, fire protection, and life‑safety systems, with an estimated acquisition magnitude of $340 million. USACE intends to use an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) and a Progressive Design‑Build (PDB) delivery method, emphasizing early contractor involvement, open‑book pricing, and phased execution.
