Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting market research for a Progressive Design‑Build (PDB) construction project at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. The effort involves a second‑floor expansion of the B6413 Hangar to create secure office, conference, training, and support spaces, requiring demolition of existing interior obstructions, installation of high‑performance STC‑rated walls, secure networking (NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, SAP), access control, and audio/visual systems. The project must comply with ICD/ICS 705 security standards and historic preservation requirements. The anticipated construction budget is $6.15‑$6.39 million, with a total programmed amount of $13.5 million. The Phase 2 construction period is about 1,000 calendar days after award. USACE seeks capability statements and a completed acquisition‑strategy questionnaire from qualified design‑build firms, to be submitted by 30 Sept 2026.
