FTW511 Soldier Performance Readiness Center and FTW515 Unaccompanied Enlisted Housing, Fort Wainwright, Alaska

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, is conducting market research for two design and construction projects at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, with a combined estimated value of 277 million dollars. Project FTW511 involves the creation of a Soldier Performance Readiness Center, a Holistic Health and Fitness facility not exceeding 48,633 square feet, with a target budget of 76 million dollars. Project FTW515 focuses on the construction of multi-story Unaccompanied Enlisted Housing Barracks with a target budget of 201 million dollars. Both facilities must be adapted to arctic conditions and adhere to Fort Wainwright Installation Design Standards. Specifically, the barracks project requires the use of volumetric modular construction, kit of parts, or 3D printed structures to improve thermal performance and quality control, and will necessitate special foundations to mitigate seismic effects and frozen soils. The estimated period of performance spans from fiscal year 2027 through 2030, with design phases beginning in FY27 and construction starting in FY28. This sources-sought effort, under NAICS code 236220, seeks industry feedback on the optimal project delivery method, comparing standard FAR-based contracts against Other Transaction Authority options such as Construction Manager at Risk, Design-Build to Budget, or Progressive Design-Build. The government is also gauging interest from various socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB firms. Responses to the market research questionnaire are due by October 7, 2026.
