Little Mountain Testing Facility (LMTF) Progress-Design-Build OT

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is announcing an upcoming Progressive Design-Build (PDB) competition for the Little Mountain Testing Facility (LMTF) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with an estimated funding of $111.5 million. This project aims to construct a 50,000 sq ft facility to expand testing capabilities for the Sentinel program, including specialized laboratories, support areas, and robust construction with radiation shielding. An Industry Day will be held virtually on May 14, 2026, for interested parties. The acquisition strategy involves a two-step process: white papers followed by pitches, leading to the selection of a PDB entity for design, preconstruction, and construction services under a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement. Key security requirements include Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 (Self-Assessment).

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is issuing a special notice for an upcoming Progressive Design-Build (PDB) competition for the Little Mountain Testing Facility (LMTF) at Hill Air Force Base (HAFB), Utah. This project, with a total program funding of $111.5 million, aims to construct a 50,000 sq ft facility to support the Sentinel program and future Nuclear Hardness mission requirements. The facility will house specialized radiation effects equipment, test cells, control rooms, material storage, dosimetry testing areas, and a classified conference room, with robust construction featuring reinforced concrete, structural steel, and specialized shielding. An Industry Day will be held virtually on May 14, 2026, for interested parties to gain insights and provide feedback. The acquisition strategy involves a two-step competitive selection process: submission of white papers (Statement of Qualifications) followed by pitch meetings for down-selected companies. The agreement will be a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) award to the most qualified PDB entity for design development, preconstruction services, and construction. Key security requirements include a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Status of Level 1 (Self-Assessment) for handling Federal Contract Information (FCI).
