Construction of B-21 Radio Frequency (RF) Hangar

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District plans to solicit and award a firm-fixed-price construction contract for building a Radio Frequency/Measurements Hangar Facility at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. This facility, designed to support B-21 aircraft operations, will encompass approximately 57,532 square feet and include both classified and unclassified spaces. The project involves constructing a reinforced concrete foundation replacing the existing paved area adjacent to the current Phase Hangar, installing metal roofing and siding over steel framing, and incorporating concrete masonry unit walls at the base. The hangar will have one aircraft position equipped with powered steel sliding doors, along with associated support spaces such as back shops, material storage, administrative areas, and facility support. In addition, the contract includes necessary infrastructure improvements such as utilities, pavements, and site work to ensure a fully functional facility. The solicitation, identified as W912DQ26RA019, was posted in early May 2026 with responses due by mid-June 2026. The procurement follows a Design-Bid-Build method, unrestricted in terms of competition, and is classified under NAICS code 236220. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is actively assessing potential labor implications; a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) questionnaire was issued in November 2025 to gather contractor input on labor availability, scheduling concerns, cost impacts, and effects on small business participation in the local area. The points of contact for this contract are David Miller and Michael France of the Kansas City District Office. This project aims to deliver a modern, secure, and fully supported RAF hangar facility critical to B-21 operations at Whiteman AFB.
