Market Intelligence for Barracks Replacement at Building 212, Fort Stewart

Market Intelligence to Assess Potential Use of an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement Under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. BLDG 212 Repair by Replacement of an 86-Bed Barracks Facility, Fort. Stewart, Georgia

Background and

Objective The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District is conducting market research to assess industry capability and interest in supporting this effort using Other Transaction (OT) authority under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, Facility Construction or Repair: Transactions Other Than Contracts and Grants. This authority is distinct from the Department of Defense prototype OT authorities commonly associated with 10 U.S.C. §§ 4021 and 4022. This effort involves the repair by replacement of an existing 86-bed Permanent Party Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH) Army barracks facility at Fort Stewart, Georgia. The estimated magnitude of this pilot project is between $30M -$40M and is expected to include planning, design, construction, and demolition. The replacement facility will comply with applicable Department of War and Army barracks criteria, while not exceeding Army maximum space standards. The Government is considering a delivery approach that leverages volumetric, modular, industrialized, or other commercially proven construction methods that may accelerate delivery, improve quality, reduce cost, improve maintainability, and support standardization across future Army barracks projects. The Government is particularly interested in commercial practices that support collaborative project execution and nontraditional project delivery structures that may be appropriate under OT authority. This project is intended to serve as a pilot initiative that could inform future design and construction efforts of approximately 2,000 barracks beds across Georgia Army installations using similar construction methods, project delivery approaches, and innovative technologies. Any future follow-on production OT agreement or contract, if pursued, would be subject to applicable statutory authority and conditions, including any

requirements governing follow-on transactions under the relevant OT framework. Respondents are advised that any future follow-on opportunity could be significantly larger than the initial pilot effort.

Objective: The Government is operating on a short schedule to refine its acquisition strategy. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information that will help the Government: Assess the availability of commercial and nontraditional construction capabilities relevant to this requirement. Determine whether OT authority under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a is a suitable acquisition approach for this project. Refine technical

requirements, commercial terms, and business arrangements for a potential future pilot OT solicitation or other procurement approach. Project Overview At a minimum, respondents should base their responses on the following project parameters: Facility type: Permanent Party UEPH barracks for junior enlisted and junior NCO personnel. Capacity: 86 single soldiers. Maximum gross area: 485 square feet per occupant, for a total maximum gross area of 41,710 square feet. Site: Fort Stewart, Georgia. Barracks planning criteria: Functional spaces and square footage for individual spaces are to be in accordance with the 2025 Army Barracks Standard for Permanent Party Unaccompanied Housing, Junior Enlisted and Junior NCOs Memorandum. The room module layout referenced in that memorandum is not mandatory for this project; respondents may propose alternative layouts that satisfy the functional
