Quick Summary
The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFAC), on behalf of the Department of the Navy (DON), has issued a Request for Interest (RFI) seeking input from the general public for maximizing the potential use of underutilized space on the Outer Mole Pier at Truman Annex, Naval Air Station Key West, Florida. The DON's objective is to receive payment in the form of in-kind consideration (IKC) for a new long-term lease agreement. Responses are due by June 17, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This RFI is a market research tool to gather ideas for potential utilization of the Outer Mole Pier. The DON is interested in proposals that do not impact current or future DON missions, operations, or training. Commercial development on the Mole Pier is not anticipated, and ownership of the premises will remain with the U.S. Government. Experience in port operations and management is desirable.
Key Considerations & Restrictions
Access and availability of utilities on the pier are limited, requiring metering and reimbursement, with Navy mission needs taking precedence. Use of Truman Harbor is restricted per 33 C.F.R. 334.610, and the Government retains priority use of the premises for mission and berthing needs. Advanced coordination with NAS Key West and adherence to DoD security requirements for installation access are mandatory.
Submission Details
Responses to this RFI are due no later than 5:00 PM EST on June 17, 2026. Submissions should be in Microsoft Word or PDF format, limited to 7MB, and emailed to elizabeth.c.parker18.civ@us.navy.mil and heath.adams2.civ@us.navy.mil. For larger files, a DoD Safe link can be requested. Government responses to properly submitted inquiries were provided by June 11, 2026.
