Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District, is hosting an Industry Day on January 22, 2026, for the Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) Program and the 2-Bay Maintenance Hangar and Taxiway Construction at Offutt Air Force Base (AFB), NE. This event aims to provide information and gather industry feedback for an anticipated Unrestricted competitive fixed-price Design-Bid-Build (DBB) contract with an estimated magnitude of over $500,000,000.

Purpose & Scope

The Industry Day will cover the overall SAOC Beddown project, which includes multiple facilities such as a 2-Bay Maintenance Hangar, 1-Bay Fuel Cell Hangar, Operations and Training Facility, Fire Station, and Supply Storage Facility. The primary focus for this event is the 2-Bay Maintenance Hangar and Taxiway project, which involves a 280,200 SF hangar to accommodate two Boeing 747-8i aircraft, including an Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU), Consolidated Tool Kit (CTK) space, and contractor logistics support (CLS) supply space. The project also includes concrete foundation, steel high bay, standing seam metal roof, dual bridge cranes, motorized hangar doors, fire suppression, and all necessary support infrastructure, utilities, and airfield pavements. Cybersecurity measures and DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements will apply.

Event Details

The event will be held in-person at the Edward Zorinsky Building in Omaha, NE, with a virtual option via DoD Teams. The morning session (0900-1100 Central) will feature presentations on project history, major work features, constraints, challenges, and project delivery methods, followed by a live Q&A with USACE personnel. Prime construction contractors with a single bonding capability of $400M or greater are invited to request one-on-one interviews in the afternoon (1300-1600 Central). Priority for one-on-ones will be given to firms that can bond $1B or greater for a single project. Subcontractors and suppliers are encouraged to participate virtually and add their firm information to the interested vendor's list for networking.
