Space Port of the Future Infrastructure (SPOTFi) Campus (AM01)

The Space Port of the Future Infrastructure (SPOTFi) Campus project is a Department of Defense initiative managed by the USACE to construct six facilities at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The scope includes one security forces station, two admin facilities, two storage warehouses, and one vehicle maintenance facility, with a total program affordability cap of 409 million dollars. The project utilizes a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery model executed through an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement, which allows for a collaborative approach not subject to traditional FAR regulations, though specific FAR clauses for biobased product certification and construction inspection are referenced. The program is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on design and pre-construction services, while Phase 2 covers final design and construction based on a negotiated firm fixed-price. The selection process is qualifications-based and conducted in two steps, beginning with the evaluation of white papers focusing on relevant experience, PDB expertise, project goal understanding, and security compliance (ICD/ICS 705), followed by pitch presentations to assess collaborative validation and risk management. All facilities must be completed by April 2030. Key contractual requirements include adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages, compliance with EM 385-1-1 safety standards, and strict safeguarding of Controlled Unclassified Information. Performance and payment bonds are required, and payments are processed within 14 calendar days of milestone acceptance via the Resident Management System or Construction Management Platform.
