Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy (DON), specifically NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to assess interest in long-term partnerships for the development, redevelopment, or repurposing of multiple parcels at Naval Station Great Lakes (NSGL), Illinois. The DON seeks In-Kind Consideration (IKC) in exchange for real estate agreements, aiming to leverage underutilized assets to support maintenance budgets and infrastructure needs. This RFI will inform a potential future Request for Proposals (RFP). Responses are due by April 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.
Opportunity Details
This RFI focuses on various parcels at NSGL, including 11.5 acres on Ray Street, 2 acres and 4.6 acres on Sheridan Road (North Chicago, IL), and Building 8801 (13,876 SF) on 2.5 acres in Glenview, IL. The DON is exploring Enhanced Use Leases (EUL) under 10 U.S.C. § 2667. While standard leases are limited to 5 years, longer terms (e.g., 99 years) may be possible with specific determination. Easements under 10 U.S.C. § 2668 offer fewer term restrictions. Property sale is not being considered.
Key Requirements & Considerations
Respondents should propose development plans or concepts for the identified parcels. Payment will be in the form of In-Kind Consideration (IKC), valued at Fair Market Value (FMV), which can include construction, maintenance (e.g., roof repair, HVAC, road paving, building envelope repair), or demolition of existing facilities. The Navy credits IKC based on its perceived value. Proposals should detail company overview, development experience, proposed approach, intended use, financing, parcel requirements, timeline, infrastructure, regulatory considerations, and community compatibility. Any real estate transaction involving foreign ownership will require review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
Submission & Timeline
Responses to this RFI are due by Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT. Submissions must be sent via email to derek.a.crute2.civ@us.navy.mil with the subject line "Response to NSGL RFI". Responses are limited to 10 pages and a file size of 5MB. Proprietary information must be clearly marked. An Industry Day was held on January 29, 2026, with Q&A discussions providing insights into lease terms, IKC flexibility, and Navy objectives.
