AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, is conducting a virtual Industry Day for the Fightertown Recapitalization (FTR) Program at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, to gather industry input on a $7 billion initiative to rebuild the fighter operations campus using innovative, non-traditional acquisition methods. The event, held on June 30, 2026, focused on informing industry partners of the program's scope, which includes constructing new aviation and maintenance facilities, airfield infrastructure, munitions complexes, petroleum systems, logistics centers, training sites, and unaccompanied housing across a newly selected 400–500 acre site northeast of the current flight line. The existing infrastructure is deemed inadequate, necessitating a comprehensive redevelopment approach that may involve demolition or modification of current structures to optimize mission alignment. The program will leverage Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery models authorized under the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act to bypass standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) constraints, enabling faster delivery, early contractor involvement, and greater innovation in design and construction. Industry feedback collected during and after the event will directly influence the structure of future solicitations, including zoning, tranches, and integration of design and construction responsibilities under a single prime contractor, without separate owner-advisor roles. The acquisition strategy eliminates traditional contracting elements such as small business set-asides, subcontracting plans, comprehensive bonding upfront, and government-led program management, placing responsibility for integrated design-build execution on qualified industry teams. Contractors must comply with CMMC Level 2 for handling Controlled Unclassified Information via DoD SAFE and are not responsible for environmental reviews, which will be completed prior to construction. Supporting infrastructure will include advanced utilities, communication systems per Air Force Manual 32-1062, backup generators, site improvements, and logistics facilities. The first funding increment is already available, with additional funding expected in FY27, and formal solicitation is anticipated in Q4 FY26, followed by construction kickoff in summer 2027. The government has not defined evaluation weights or pricing structures, emphasizing qualifications over cost, and will use industry-submitted responses to shape task order execution. Participation in the industry day is not mandatory but strongly encouraged, with registrants receiving presentation materials and a questionnaire to inform future procurement decisions. Point of contact for submissions and inquiries is the USACE Alaska District team, with communication routed through secure systems, and no traditional contract

🏗️ Program Background & Scope
The recapitalization of fighter town at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson requires unique purpose-built facilities to meet the unique needs of the fighter mission and operations. This approximated $7B program takes a complete campus approach to recapitalizing the fighter area to ensure all required facilities will be available and synchronized with the mission-driven equipment procurement, personnel movement, and logistical chain needed.
Because existing airfield facilities are unable to support this effort, a new site has been selected to expand the current airfield to accommodate the program.
🏢 Proposed Campus Facilities & Infrastructure
The campus will include:
- Aviation & Maintenance: Aircraft hangars, corrosion control facilities, squadron and other operations facilities, and maintenance shops dedicated to the inspection, testing, repair, and safe handling of aircraft and equipment.
- Airfield Infrastructure: Airfield pavements including taxiways, aprons, shoulders, and specialized pads.
- Operations & Support: A munitions complex for storage and maintenance, petroleum operations, and support facilities for visitor control, dining, shipping/receiving, supply/warehousing, and firefighting.
- Personnel & Training: Housing for unaccompanied permanent party airmen, as well as training facilities for various mission- and support-related functions such as simulators, field training, small arms, and munitions.
💡Campus Adaptability Note: As the campus design develops, the Government may modify or demolish certain existing facilities if it is determined to be most advantageous to the Government.
🛠️ Comprehensive Supporting Facilities
To ensure complete and usable facilities, the project incorporates all necessary supporting infrastructure, including:
- Site preparation, site improvements, roadways, parking, and sidewalks.
- Extensive utilities such as electrical, water, HVAC, pumps, and lighting.
- Modern communication systems and backup generators (authorized under Air Force Manual 32-1062).
⚠️Future Scope Adjustments: As the campus design develops, additional support facilities may be identified and incorporated into the project if determined to be most advantageous to the Government.
⚙️Innovative Acquisition Authorities:
This program intends to leverage the flexible authorities granted in the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act to take advantage of private sector innovative design and construction methods. It will use a combination of Other Transaction Authority (OTA), Progressive Design-Build (PDB), and other execution methods to innovate in delivery, reduce construction timelines, and lifecycle costs. OTA/PDB execution will capitalize on the construction industry's expertise and innovation while avoiding costly and time-consuming federal contracting regulatory burdens. The execution strategy is intentionally non-prescriptive to empower industry partners to innovate and propose the most effective technical solution to meet the defined needs.
