AI Contract Overview
The United States Navy is seeking innovative and flexible temporary housing solutions to address urgent shortfalls in unaccompanied housing and swing space across multiple installations, with needs spanning fiscal years 2026 through 2030. This Request for Information is designed to capture industry capabilities related to modular units, containerized housing, trailer-based or RV accommodations, turnkey workforce camps, leased commercial apartments and hotels, repurposed facilities, houseboats where feasible, and even traditional construction if it can meet accelerated timelines. The Navy is particularly focused on locations with critical gaps including Great Lakes, IL; Pensacola, FL; Meridian, MS; Panama City, FL; Hampton Roads, VA; San Diego, CA; Hawaii; Central California; and the Northwest, with bed demands ranging from 100 to 2,500 per site and surge requirements increasing capacity by up to 50 percent. All proposed solutions must provide code-compliant, safe, and habitable environments featuring furnishings, climate control, utilities, Wi-Fi, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and ADA-accessible features, while adhering to Department of the Navy minimum adequacy standards, international building codes, and local regulations. Responses must include detailed lifecycle planning covering site preparation, delivery logistics, utility connections, pre-occupancy inspections, and eventual removal and land restoration. The Navy requires a contractor quality control plan with regular inspections and timely corrections and demands emergency maintenance response within two hours and non-emergency within 24 hours, targeting a housing readiness rate of at least 98 percent. Solutions must be located within a 35-minute commute of the assigned installation. Respondents are expected to submit a five-page capability statement, a government-provided Excel workbook with installation-specific tabs, and a separate market research document, all packaged under 10 MB and submitted by August 24, 2026. While no formal contract or funding is guaranteed, the government reserves the right to use submitted information to guide future procurement strategies, and rough order of magnitude cost estimates must be provided for delivery, monthly per-bed rates, utilities, operations and maintenance, and removal. Responses will inform data-driven decisions on temporary housing approaches to support personnel during large-scale modernization and commercialization efforts.

Full Description
The United States Navy (USN) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry insight, capability information, and innovative solutions to address temporary Unaccompanied Housing (UH) shortfalls and swing space requirements across multiple USN installations.
This RFI seeks to understand the range of solutions available to rapidly provide safe, habitable, code-compliant temporary accommodations for USN personnel while largescale modernization, recapitalization, and commercialization efforts are underway. Respondents may propose solutions for one, multiple, or all locations listed below. Proposed solutions may be complete, partial, phased, or location-specific. This notice does not obligate the Government to issue a solicitation or pursue any acquisition strategy. Responses will inform future USN planning and decision-making.
The following solution categories are of interest. This list is not exhaustive, and respondents are encouraged to identify alternative or hybrid concepts:
• Modular / prefabricated units
• Containerized Housing Units (CHUs)
• Trailer-based or RV-based housing
• Turnkey workforce housing (“man-camps”)
• Leased commercial apartments
• Leased commercial hotel/extended stay units
• Converted or repurposed facilities
• Houseboats (where locally feasible)
• Traditional construction if it can be delivered within the required timeframe
• Innovative or conceptual models that leverage past proven experience, such as adaptive reuse, stackable modular concepts, or integrated campus‑style housing
Respondents may combine solution types across installations or offer a single approach for specific locations.
Based on current Navy assessments, the following locations have near-term or projected UH shortfalls:
Training Command Capacity Gaps: These installations face near-term shortages due to recruitment increases, throughput surges, facility degradation, and repair projects:
• Great Lakes, IL (NTC/RTC): ~ Near‑term shortfall of ~1,000 beds; surge to 1,500; FY26–FY28.
• Pensacola, FL (Corry Station): Shortfall of ~600 beds; surge to 1,000; FY26–FY28.
• Pensacola, FL (NATTC / Main Side): Shortfall of ~2,000 beds; surge to 2,500; FY26–FY28. Includes requirements for alternative temporary shower solutions during renovation periods.
• Meridian, MS: Shortfall of 250–500 beds; FY27–FY29.
• Panama City, FL: Shortfall of 100–300 beds; FY27–FY30.
Commercialization Swing Space Requirements: These requirements are tied to project phasing and the need to temporarily relocate Sailors while barracks are transferred, renovated, or modernized
• Hampton Roads, VA (NS Norfolk and Newport News): Approximately 1,300 beds (Phase II), plus enterprise surge requirement to 1,500; FY26–FY28.
• San Diego, CA (NBSD, NMCSD, NBC, NPL): Approximately 800 beds; surge to 1,200; FY27–FY29.
• Hawaii (JBPHH): Approximately 500 beds; surge to 1,000; FY27–FY29.
• Central California (CNRSW): Approximately 800 beds; surge to 1,200; FY28–FY30.
• Northwest (CNRNW): Approximately 800 beds; surge to 1,200; FY29–FY30.
