Cooling Water System Repair and Reliability Project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, is seeking market intelligence for the Cooling Water System Repair and Reliability Project at Cavalier Space Force Station, ND. This initiative is envisioned as a Progressive Design-Build Other Transaction Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 2808a, with an estimated value between 50 million and 70 million dollars. The project scope involves the comprehensive rehabilitation and modernization of a large-scale industrial cooling water system, including the repair or replacement of piping, installation of new fluid coolers and pumps, and the integration of HEMP grade power filters for outdoor loads. The government is prioritizing system redundancy, resiliency, and red zone commissioning to ensure all components meet strict operational requirements. The project is anticipated to proceed in two phases, with design beginning in FY27Q2 and construction starting in FY27Q4. Because this will be executed as an Other Transaction Agreement, it will follow a non-FAR mindset, utilizing a qualifications-based selection process rather than traditional price-based competition. Interested firms must be registered in SAM.gov and are expected to comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification CMMC Level 1. Technical expertise in HEMP requirements and asbestos containing material abatement is highly valued. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by October 20, 2026, and should include the firm's CAGE code, Unique Entity Identifier, and current CMMC status.
