Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC, is soliciting proposals for the P993/995 F-35 Aircraft Sustainment Center and Composite Repair Facility at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, NC. This Firm Fixed-Price construction project, valued at over $500,000,000, involves building two critical facilities to support F-35 aircraft. Proposals are due May 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.

Scope of Work

This solicitation covers the construction of two primary facilities:

  • F-35 Sustainment Center (P993): A 255,461 SF depot-level hangar designed to support 20 F-35 aircraft. It will include maintenance bays, four paint booths, administrative spaces, aircraft part modification and tool shops, and a secure area built to ICD705 standards. The main facility features precast structural concrete panels, a pile-supported foundation, slab on grade, and a cross-laminated timber roof deck.
  • Composite Repair Facility (P995): A 105,755 SF consolidated depot-level facility for advanced composites and rotor blade repair. This includes a disassembly area, parts kitting, production control, clean parts area, assembly area with climate-controlled dirty room, bonding room, clean room, classrooms, and engineering/laboratory space. An aircraft rotor blade repair shop with sanding pits and bonding rooms is also included.
  • Site Development: The project encompasses utility improvements for Hancock Village, a taxiway with a bridge, and an aircraft parking apron.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
  • Magnitude: Over $500,000,000
  • Period of Performance: 15 calendar days for commencement, 1,461 calendar days for completion.
  • Eligibility: This is for Segment II, with two offerors (ECC Atlantic Construction and Walsh Federal) already pre-qualified.
  • Cybersecurity Requirements: P993 requires CMMC Level 2 (due to Controlled Unclassified Information - CUI), and P995 requires CMMC Level 1. Access to CUI drawings/specifications requires a DOD-CUI Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Submission & Evaluation

  • Proposal Due Date: May 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.
  • Submission Method: Electronically via PIEE in PDF format, with separate price and non-price proposals. Instructions for PIEE vendor access are provided.
  • Evaluation: Award will be based on a tradeoff process. Technical factors (Management Approach & Schedule, Small Business Utilization) are of equal importance to each other and approximately equal to price.
  • Small Business Participation: While not a prime set-aside, the solicitation includes significant small business subcontracting targets: SB 40%, SDB 5%, HUBZone SB 3%, WOSB 9%, SDVOSB 5%. Offerors must submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) and, if a large business, an Individual Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP).

Key Amendments & Clarifications

Multiple amendments have been issued, primarily extending the proposal due date and providing extensive clarifications:

  • Amendment 0004 & 0005: Extended the proposal due date to May 20, 2026, and incorporated numerous Pre-Proposal Inquiry (PPI) responses.
  • PPI Responses: Clarified technical specifications for interior finishes (P993 & P995), crane systems, X-ray testing equipment, CMMC requirements, and various drawing/specification discrepancies. Questions regarding the feasibility of small business participation targets due to CMMC Level 2 requirements are still pending definitive responses.
  • Revised Pricing: Multiple revisions to the Price Proposal Form (Attachment F) have been issued, detailing base and option items, government estimated prices for certain options, and a Handling and Administration Rate (HAR) for FF&E, A/V, and Collateral Equipment.
  • Johnson Controls CJ&A: Amendment 0004 included a Class Justification and Approval for the brand-name use of Johnson Controls Metasys product line for Facilities Related Control Systems (FRCS) at MCAS Cherry Point, citing standardization and cybersecurity needs.
