AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Defense is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice for the design and construction of a covered parking structure at Homestead Air Force Base, Florida, to accommodate two composite-sized F-35 fighter aircraft. The project requires a non-enclosed, standing seam metal roof canopy with a multiple-segment cantilevered gable design, supported by load-bearing structural columns along the perimeter. Acceptable construction methods include pre-engineered buildings, concrete masonry units, tilt-up concrete panels, or other approved techniques that meet the stringent design criteria. The structure must comply with Miami-Dade County building codes and be engineered to withstand high-velocity wind loads in accordance with ASCE/SEI 7-10 and the latest Florida Building Code. All hardware, except stainless steel components, must be galvanized to ASTM A 153, and the design must incorporate lightning protection and grounding systems, pavement striping, and tie-down or mooring points for aircraft security. Interested contractors must submit a Capability Statement demonstrating their qualifications to perform this specialized work under a Design-Build delivery model. Submissions must include company identification details such as name, address, phone, email, CAGE Code, and Unique Entity ID, along with business size classification and applicable socioeconomic certifications including Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB status. Respondents are required to provide up to three relevant past projects completed within the last five years, emphasizing experience with high-velocity wind zone construction, design-build aircraft sunshades or hangars with cantilevered roofs, and adherence to DoD design submittal standards such as ANGETL 24-02. A formal statement of single and aggregate bonding capacity is mandatory. Design submittals, when required in a future solicitation, must progress through four phases per ANGETL 24-02: Type A2 (35% design), Type B1 (65% design), Type B2 (100% pre-final), and Type B3 (100% final design). Responses must be sent via email to both primary and secondary contracting officers by 5:00 PM EST on June 29, 2026, with the subject line formatted precisely as “Sources Sought – HARBSS-2026-03/Company Name/Email X of X.” This notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation
