Quick Summary

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFAC SE), on behalf of the Department of the Navy (DON), is conducting a Request for Interest (RFI) to gather input on maximizing the potential use of underutilized space on the Outer Mole Pier at Truman Annex, Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West, Monroe County, Florida. This is a market research effort, not a solicitation for proposals. Responses are due by June 3, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.

Purpose & Scope

The DON seeks to identify potential uses for the Outer Mole Pier and is particularly interested in industry experience with port operations and management.

Key limitations include: no commercial development, government retention of ownership and priority use for mission needs, and limited access/utilities that must be metered and reimbursed. Proposed uses must not impact current or future DON missions.

Key Requirements for Response

The response must demonstrate the ability to meet additional factors and address requirements outlined in Section III of the RFI. Responses should be structured with Part I for administrative information and Part II addressing the RFI considerations.
