The U.S. Government is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) to evaluate interest in leasing land at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska for a potential mixed-use Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) that prominently features modern family housing alongside complementary retail and community amenities. The goal is to identify viable development concepts that represent the highest and best use of the property while supporting the needs of the installation and surrounding community. Proposals must be submitted as a single document not exceeding twelve pages in length, formatted on 8.5 x 11-inch paper with one-inch margins and a minimum eleven-point font, and must not exceed twenty megabytes in file size. Responses must include detailed descriptions of the proposed development team, land use plan, housing unit mix and target demographics, financing structure, relevant experience, evidence of local demand, project timeline, proposed consideration to the Government, implementation barriers, community engagement strategies, teaming arrangements, and any identified funding gaps. The submission deadline is July 3, 2026, with initial intent to submit and all questions required to be sent via email to afcec.EUL@us.af.mil by June 19, 2026, and final responses must be uploaded through a secure portal. The RFI is governed by Title 10 U.S.C. §2667, which authorizes leases that generate fair market value in cash or in-kind consideration without direct government funding. No formal contract or award will result from this RFI; responses are strictly for informational purposes to inform potential future leasing actions. The solicitation number is AFCEC-26-R-0008, and the contracting office is located at JBSA Lackland, Texas, with the place of performance being Eielson AFB, Alaska, ZIP 99702.
