AI Contract Overview

The United States Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District is soliciting proposals under solicitation W912HP27RA002 for the construction of two facilities at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Charleston, South Carolina. The primary project involves the Trade and Cargo Academy, which requires the hazardous material abatement and selective demolition of a vacant 30,000 square foot building, while maintaining the existing lobby and utility services to the east wing. In its place, a new 28,400 square foot, two-story, flood-resilient facility will be built featuring a deep precast concrete pile foundation, a heavy-duty steel frame, and a modern rainscreen envelope. The interior will be divided between instructional spaces and an auditorium on the first floor and administrative offices on the second floor. Additionally, the project includes the construction of a 5,985 square foot, one-story Cargo Security and Seized Property Training Facility designed for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This facility will be elevated on a deep pile foundation to meet floodplain requirements and will utilize pile-supported stormwater piping to prevent soil settlement. Both structures are engineered for a 40-year operational lifespan using durable coastal materials and must comply with 2021 building codes, DHS security criteria, and federal energy conservation standards. The procurement is managed by Lauren Minzenberger, with a response deadline of October 13, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 236220.

Full Description

**Note: The sources sought originally posted as W912HP27RA001 - Due to technical issues with ACWS a new solicitation number was pulled. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Charleston District (SAC) has a new requirement for construction of a Trade and Cargo Academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). The requirement will include hazardous material abatement and selective demolition of the current vacant 30,000 SF, three-story building, while preserving the existing main lobby and ensuring uninterrupted utility service to the occupied east wing. In its place, a new 28,400 SF, two-story, flood-resilient facility will be constructed. Due to poor soil quality and its location within FEMA Zone AE, the TCA will use a deep precast concrete pile foundation with pile-supported slabs, a heavy-duty steel frame to withstand high wind/seismic demands, a modern rainscreen envelope, and fully integrated building systems (HVAC, LED lighting, and security infrastructure). The interior will have space for instructional use on the first floor (including classrooms, an auditorium, and production spaces) and administrative open offices on the second floor. FLETC also has a requirement for the construction of a new Cargo Security and Seized Property Training Facility (CSSPTF), a separate one-story 5,985 SF facility purpose-built to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) training. Specifically designed for hands-on vehicle/cargo inspection, evidence processing, and simulated seized property storage, this site-adapted facility will also be elevated on a deep pile foundation to comply with stringent floodplain requirements. A key engineering focus for this site is the implementation of pile-supported stormwater piping under paved areas to mitigate soil settlement risks. Both facilities are engineered for a minimum 40-year operational lifespan, integrating highly durable, low-maintenance coastal materials, and will comply fully with the latest federal energy conservation standards, DHS security criteria, and 2021 building codes. These facilities are essential for the increased student enrollment and additional courses offered supporting FLETC Charleston.
