Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, through the Mission & Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Theater Support Center (TSC), is hosting an Industry and Government Technical Information Exchange / Industry Days Event called JBLM FORGE from January 20-23, 2026, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), WA. This Special Notice aims to facilitate discussions on establishing a Section 10 USC 4022: Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for the JBLM facility Modernization program, which involves significant construction projects.
Purpose & Scope
This event is a crucial opportunity for businesses of all sizes and socioeconomic backgrounds, particularly those in engineering, construction, and support services, to engage with the federal government. The primary goal is to discuss the potential use of an OTA to manage key construction projects supporting the warfighter.
Key areas of focus include:
- JBLM FORGE Initiative: Modernizing facilities, enhancing infrastructure, and boosting operational capabilities at JBLM for the U.S. Army and Air Force.
- Specific Projects: Detailed plans for FY26 JBLM C2B2P projects (e.g., UAS Training Site, Range 76, Modular SCIF, McChord Airfield Security, HVAC replacement, Railroad Network) and FY27 UEPH MDTF Barracks (architectural, structural, electrical, security, telecommunication, plumbing, HVAC, fire alarm/mass notification systems). Also, generator installations and building renovations for facilities like Madigan CDC, McChord CDC, and I Corps JDOC Phase II.
- Contracting Mechanisms: Understanding "Other Transaction Authorities" (OTAs) as a flexible contracting tool.
