The upcoming contract, identified by solicitation number N4008525R2638, pertains to a major design-build construction project at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Norfolk, Virginia, for the P1678 NATO Joint Force Command Norfolk (JFCNF) Phase II Interim Modular Facility. This project involves delivering permanent modular construction (PMC) facilities that will provide essential administrative and operational spaces to support ongoing NATO mission capabilities. The scope includes not only design and construction of modular buildings compliant with permanent construction standards but also extensive site preparation activities such as clearing, earthwork, excavation, grading, paving, stormwater management, and utility tie-ins on a currently vacant lot. The contract is estimated to be valued between $100 million and $250 million and requires completion within 730 calendar days post-award, with the award anticipated around April 2026. This procurement is conducted as an unrestricted, full and open competition utilizing two-phase design-build selection procedures under FAR Parts 15 and 36.3, with evaluations based on a best-value trade-off considering technical merit, past performance, and price proposals. While the solicitation is currently unrestricted due to a lack of a sufficient number of qualified small businesses, subcontracting plans will be required from large business awardees. The procurement falls under NAICS code 236220 with a small business size standard of $45 million. Contractors must demonstrate experience on projects involving permanent modular construction of similar size and complexity, including key elements such as fire protection, HVAC, civil infrastructure, telecommunications, deep foundations, and soil settlement mitigation. Proposals will include required forms detailing contractor qualifications and prior project experience, with submissions strictly electronic and limited in page length. The resulting facility must meet applicable permanent construction codes and standards, and inspection and acceptance will be conducted on-site at NSA Norfolk, with NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic overseeing contract administration. The solicitation documents will be released in Adobe PDF format on PIEE and SAM.gov, and interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to participate.
