Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought to identify qualified prime contractors for the Joint Deployment Warfighting Complex (JDWC) at Fort Bragg, NC. This initiative aims to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy, specifically evaluating an Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) approach for a project estimated to be Over $500,000,000. Responses, including a mandatory survey and capability package, are due by February 20, 2026, 5:00 PM ET.

Purpose & Strategy

USACE is seeking interested and capable firms for construction and specialty trade services for the JDWC. The Government is evaluating an Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) strategy, which involves awarding a firm-fixed-price contract for pre-construction services early in the design phase, followed by an option for the full construction phase. This approach allows the selected contractor to provide critical constructability analysis and cost-saving input. Only firms successfully completing a pre-qualification process will be eligible to receive and respond to a subsequent formal solicitation.

Project Scope

The project involves constructing a Joint Deployment Warfighting Complex using a standard Command and Control Facility (C2F) design. This includes administrative and operations areas with special use spaces (Secure Administrative Area, Arms Room, Operations Center, Network Operations Center). Construction will encompass all necessary information technology networks (wireless NIPRnet, SIPRnet, BICES, JWICS), redundant mechanical/electrical systems with backup power, secure parking, antenna pad, loading areas, and various security and control systems. Supporting facilities include site development, utilities, lighting, paving, and an extension of the All-American Parkway (approximately 0.65 miles).
