The Government is evaluating industry capabilities and seeking feedback on a draft Performance Work Statement and associated Technical Exhibits that detail comprehensive facility maintenance requirements across multiple military installations, including structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, utility, and environmental systems.

Companies must also demonstrate their experience navigating German regulatory and labor environments, including compliance with the Federal Water Act, occupational safety laws, collective bargaining agreements, and works council interactions. They must show capability to secure and maintain Installation Access Control System passes for personnel working on U.S. military installations. Responses must be submitted electronically by June 22, 2026, to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer.
