Construction of F16 Mission Training Center

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the 177th Fighter Wing in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, is seeking a single firm fixed-price contract for the complete construction of an F-16 Mission Training Center facility, set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 236220 with a size standard of $45,000,000. The project involves building a single-story, 15,000-square-foot facility with four simulator bays and supporting spaces including training rooms, administrative areas, storage, and restrooms, along with associated site work such as parking, utilities, stormwater management, and pavement. All work must be performed in accordance with the Architect and Engineer specifications and drawings dated May 15, 2025, and all subsequent addenda, including Addendum No. 5, which were issued through multiple solicitation amendments. The solicitation was originally issued on May 29, 2026, with multiple deadline extensions ultimately setting the proposal due date at 1:00 PM local time on July 28, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email in PDF format with specific file naming and description requirements, and must include a signed copy of all issued amendments, including SF 30 modifications. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with current and accurate representations, including small business status, and must provide a CAGE code, UEI, TIN, and point of contact information on an introductory page of their submission. The contract will be awarded on a best value basis using a tradeoff approach under FAR 15.103-1, where technical performance, past performance, and cost/price are evaluated as non-cost and cost factors, respectively, with failure to address any factor resulting in elimination. Evaluation weights are not explicitly stated but are structured so that combined non-cost factors are approximately equal to price in importance. The base contract includes the construction of the MTC facility excluding electronic security systems and sitework, with multiple option line items for additional work such as ESS installation, site demolition, pavement resurfacing, masonry veneer, monoliths, and signage. Payment will be processed through WAWF/DFAS upon satisfactory completion, with invoices required to be pre-approved using Projectmates software before submission into WAWF. Contractor obligations include furnishing performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value unless
