Market Research/Industry Feedback for potential Progressive Design-Build (PDB)/OTA projects at Tinker AFB

This Market Research Questionnaire, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District, seeks industry feedback to determine the optimal project delivery methods and contracting vehicles for a four-project military construction (MILCON) program at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. With a combined estimated value of approximately $320 million, the program includes two 2-Dock Program Depot Maintenance Hangars ($124M and $115M), an Aircraft Pavement and Engine Runup project ($60M), and a Support Shops and Staging Building ($24M). The questionnaire gathers company profiles, socioeconomic statuses, and bonding capacities to assess market interest and feasibility. It solicits industry perspectives on balancing design control against single-point responsibility, achieving early price certainty, and identifying primary cost and supply chain drivers. Additionally, the RFI gauges contractor interest in collaborative procurement features, such as proprietary meetings, proposal stipends, and contract incentives like shared cost savings. Ultimately, respondents are asked to recommend and justify specific delivery paths—including Design-Bid-Build, Construction Manager at Risk, Design-Build to Budget, or Progressive Design-Build—using either traditional FAR-based contracts or Other Transaction Authority (OTA). Responses are due to the USACE Tulsa District by July 23, 2026.
