MACH1_AOI_Military Working Dog Facility_ Vandenberg Space Force_LOE 1 and LOE 2

The 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron is seeking a contractor for a Progressive Design-Build project to renovate and expand military working dog facilities at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This effort, published under the Modernized Agile Construction Horizons (MACH1) framework, will be executed as an Other Transaction Agreement under 10 U.S.C. section 2808a. The project is divided into two lines of effort: LOE 1 focuses on collaborative design and cost modeling, while LOE 2 covers physical construction. The scope includes modernizing the 2,065 square foot kennel building and 982 square foot admin building, as well as constructing a 1,100 square foot addition featuring an exam room, isolation kennel, and secured tack room. The total project cost is not to exceed 4 million dollars, with the construction award contingent upon the establishment of an open-book Guaranteed Maximum Price during the design phase. The government will select a partner based on qualifications, technical merit, and experience with non-traditional construction methods, such as 3D printing or industrialized construction. The facility must adhere to strict Department of Defense standards, including Seismic Design Category D, specific fire-rated assemblies, and cybersecurity requirements for facility-related control systems. Eligible respondents must be U.S.-based general contractors or joint ventures capable of obtaining rapid installation access, with key personnel potentially requiring Secret clearances. Interested parties must submit a five-page solution brief by November 17, 2026, detailing their design methodology and providing evidence of at least three similar projects exceeding 4 million dollars completed within the last decade. Execution is planned for fiscal year 2028.
