AI Contract Overview
The 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, in coordination with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, is seeking an innovative commercial partner under the Modernized Agile Construction Horizons (MACH1) Umbrella Program to upgrade Military Working Dog kennel facilities at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland and the Chapman Annex. The project is structured into two lines of effort, with the current focus on Line of Effort 1, which entails the design and planning of facilities capable of housing and training 850 dogs. The objective is to develop a mature, site-specific design package using non-traditional construction methods, such as Engineered Tensile Facilities, Industrialized Construction, or 3D-printed and additive techniques, to bypass traditional military construction timelines. The resulting structures must have an anticipated lifespan of approximately 40 years and strictly adhere to the Animal Welfare Act, DoD Unified Facilities Criteria, and specific Air Force veterinary and security mandates. Any resulting agreement will be executed as an Other Transaction Agreement under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. section 2808a. While the current phase focuses on design, the rough order of magnitude target budgets for construction are not to exceed 160 million dollars for Lackland AFB and 180 million dollars for the Chapman Annex. Interested partners must submit a Phase 1 Solution Brief by September 11, 2026. This brief is limited to five pages, excluding the title page, and must detail the technical approach, a high-level milestone schedule, and company credentials, including three completed projects exceeding 20 million dollars using non-traditional methods within the last decade. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit, speed to design completion, and company viability to determine eligibility for a Phase 2 pitch session.
