B90176 Hangar Door Expansion (HADES)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting bids for the Design-Bid-Build contract to expand hangar doors at Facility B90176 on Fort Hood, Texas, under solicitation number W9126G26RA087, with proposals due by July 21, 2026. This project, known as HADES, is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside and falls under NAICS code 236220 for heavy and civil engineering construction, with the office of W076 Endist Ft Worth managing the procurement from Fort Worth, Texas. The scope requires replacing two existing hangar doors with a single 120-foot-wide rolling sectional door of increased height, necessitating major structural modifications to the pre-engineered metal building including removal and replacement of wind posts, grade beams, spandrel beams, and sections of the concrete slab. Exterior work involves extending the trench drain and relocating adjacent man-doors and utility lines, while interior work includes installing higher-capacity door motors, refinishing and restriping the hangar floor, making minor partition and finish adjustments to meet new flight group requirements, and evaluating the replacement of fan and motor control centers for existing Big Ass Fans. Comprehensive structural, fire suppression, and life safety analyses are mandatory to ensure full code compliance and safe integration of all modifications. The contract is open exclusively to small businesses, with primary point of contact Bijay Gurung and secondary contact Christine Noriega available through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. All submissions must be made via the SAM.gov portal, and while the estimated contract value and specific evaluation criteria are not available due to data retrieval limitations, the project demands high-precision construction expertise, adherence to stringent safety standards, and coordination across multiple technical disciplines.
