OCAR HQ Optimization - Ft. Belvoir

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI (Solicitation No. W912QR27MI‑OCARHQ) to gather market information for the OCAR Headquarters Optimization project, a comprehensive renovation of an existing facility at Fort Belvoir. The effort will use a Progressive Design‑Build (PDB) delivery method under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, allowing the Government to prototype new or emergent construction technologies. Scope includes updating floor plans to increase workstation capacity, removing existing furniture and associated IT/electrical connections, and replacing electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and telecommunications systems. Additional requirements are new rooftop HVAC units with ductwork modifications and building‑monitoring integration, expanded egress to meet NFPA standards, added water closets and lavatories, deep‑clean carpet and wall repairs, and cybersecurity‑compliant telecom installations. Respondents are asked to provide a company profile (name, address, point of contact, UEI, socioeconomic status), details on OTA and statutory compliance, bonding capability (single and aggregate limits, surety timelines, funding‑gap mitigation mechanisms), and feedback on the proposed acquisition strategy. The RFI also seeks information on innovative construction materials or methods the firm could propose, prior OTA prototype experience, and perceived barriers to innovation on traditional military construction projects. NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) is listed for market‑research purposes; the small‑business size standard is $45 million, though OTA awards are not subject to FAR‑based small‑business set‑aside rules. Responses are voluntary, non‑binding, and must be submitted by 10:00 a.m. EDT on 30 July 2026. Point of contact: Adam Wantland, adam.m.wantland@usace.army.mil.
