MCI West Barracks Industrialized Construction Projects for Barracks via Other Transaction Authority (10 USC 2808a)

The Department of the Navy is seeking to modernize aging barracks infrastructure through the MCI West Barracks Industrialized Construction Projects, utilizing Other Transaction Authority under 10 USC 2808a. The primary objective is to procure new, energy-efficient, and resilient barracks using advanced manufacturing and Industrialized Construction (IC) methodologies, such as volumetric modular hybrid or Kit of Parts. The current scope focuses on the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California, involving the construction of one building with 566 beds and associated demolition. The project aims to significantly reduce design-build timelines and costs compared to traditional methods, requiring a streamlined approach that integrates design, manufacturing, assembly, and onsite construction. Award is based on a best-value evaluation of full proposals, with a heavy emphasis on relevant experience and technical approach. Vendors must demonstrate a track record of completing three to seven IC commercial projects within the last ten years, each valued at $40 million or more, or similar institutional projects exceeding 1,000 square feet. Preference is given to those capable of managing multiple large-scale projects with an aggregate value exceeding $150 million. Technical submissions must detail a comprehensive IC process and clearly define team roles for every stage from factory fabrication to final commissioning. All facilities must meet or exceed DoD Unified Facility Criteria and Whole Building Design Guide standards. The procurement process is phased, beginning with a Phase I White Paper submission via the PIEE Solicitation Module. These submissions must be in PDF format, limited to 10 pages in 12-point font, and include an executive summary and a detailed technical approach. Successful awardees must comply with several federal regulations, including the Buy American Act, Davis-Bacon Act, Miller Act, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. The government expects proposed structures to be designed, reviewed, and approved within a 9 to 12 month timeframe.
