Multiple Construction Projects in Bandiana, Australia

The U.S. Department of Defense, through NAVFACSYSCOM Southwest, is seeking industry input via a sources-sought notice for multiple construction projects at Bandiana, Victoria, Australia, to support INDOPACOM posture initiatives and the forward provisioning of MARFORPAC, USARPAC, and PACAF forces under a single programmatic execution strategy spanning FY26 through FY30 and beyond. These projects, each estimated between $20 million and $30 million, are part of a broader effort to enhance military readiness in the Indo-Pacific region and require compliance with Australian National Construction Codes, local heritage and environmental regulations, and ADF Site Approvals, while navigating the rigorous ADF Handover/Takeover process. Contractors must demonstrate proven experience with high-value joint military logistics construction under NAICS code 236220 in Australia, including detailed submission of two recent government projects, with clear breakdowns of self-performed work and bonding capacity details, including surety name, maximum per-project and aggregate bonding limits. The requirement places a strong emphasis on operational independence, as contractors must execute complex construction under strict DoD standards with zero reliance on U.S. government on-site construction management or quality assurance personnel. They must be capable of mobilizing safely within a highly constrained, active construction footprint already occupied by another prime contractor without introducing schedule delays or safety risks, and must demonstrate an ability to accelerate delivery timelines to meet urgent INDOPACOM forward-provisioning mandates while keeping duplicative mobilization and demobilization costs below $1.5 million. The solicitation, issued as an RFI under number N6247326RE510 with a response deadline of June 25, 2026, is not a formal request for proposal but serves to gather market research to inform future procurement, with responses to be submitted using provided forms that require firm name, address, UEI, CAGE code, business size certification, and full project experience documentation. The place of performance is exclusively Bandiana, Australia, with all work to be performed under Australian regulatory frameworks and in alignment with United States Force Posture Initiatives.
