The U.S. Defense Dept. announced selection of multiple firms earlier this month to compete for engineering and construction task order work under a $15-billion, fixed‑price indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity contract with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center. That follows other Air Force awards in May, as well as U.S. Navy awards in June to firms for work under similar contract vehicles totaling nearly $10.5 billion. The award covers global maintenance and repair, restoration, modernization and other construction and demolition work, with a total of 33 proposers, said DOD. The Air Force also said that last month it awarded Pond Constructors a $2.5 billion, 10-year task order contract to modernize fuel infrastructure—including storage tanks, hydrant systems, pipelines and related utilities—at installations around the world. Separately, the 92nd Contracting Squadron at Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington state tapped five firms under a $95-million IDIQ to bid for renovation, design‑build, hazardous‑material abatement and other work at the base and at other sites. Also, Osprey Management LLC secured a $15-million service-disabled veteran-owned small-business set-aside IDIQ contract for construction, maintenance, repair, R&D and other tasks through July 6, 2030 at Arnold AFB in Tullahoma, Tenn., with the base AF Test Center as awarding entity. In June, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii tapped 11 bidders for tasks under an $8-billion IDIQ covering construction, repair, alteration and demolition of military infrastructure in the state and Wake Island Guam-based Global Pacific Design Builders LLC also won a $297-million IDIQ contract for design and construction of replacement housing at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam and other $49-milion IDIQ contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Mobile, Ala., with locations and funding to be determined and estimated completion on July 9, 2030.
