    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is announcing a proposed modification to the existing Regional Engineering and Construction (RE&C) contracts managed by the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS). The modification aims to extend the ordering period for the RE&C contracts across all regions (West, Central, and East) by 28 days, moving the expiration date from November 8, 2024, to December 6, 2024, with a subsequent Class Justification and Approval (J&A) planned to extend the contracts further by 16 months, until April 6, 2026. This extension is crucial for supporting ongoing construction projects within the continental United States, particularly those focused on facilities' sustainment and modernization needs for projects valued under $50 million. Interested parties can direct inquiries to David M. Foote at david.foote.2@us.af.mil by 4:00 PM CT on November 14, 2024, noting that this notice is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposals.

    Title
    Posted
    The document outlines an intent to execute a Justification and Approval (J&A) for modifying the existing Regional Engineering and Construction (RE&C) contracts managed by the 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS). The proposed modification includes a significant ceiling increase of $225 million and an extended ordering period of 16 months for three regional contracts (West, Central, and East). This extension will allow for an influx of construction services in the continental United States, particularly for projects valued under $50 million. The current RE&C contracts, originally awarded in 2016, have reached the end of their option periods, necessitating this adjustment to sustain the Facilities, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (FSRM) program. Once a follow-on Comprehensive Construction & Engineering (C2E) contract is awarded, any pending Requests for Proposal (RFPs) will shift to the new contract. The modifications are critical for maintaining support in mission-critical operations across multiple regions.
    The document outlines the intent to modify the existing Regional Engineering and Construction (RE&C) contracts executed by the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS) for the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC). The current ordering period for the RE&C West Region is set to expire on November 8, 2024, and will be extended by 28 days to align with the expiration of the Central and East Regions on December 6, 2024. A subsequent Class Justification and Approval (J&A) will seek to further extend the contracts by 16 months, shifting the end date for all regions to April 6, 2026. This extension will support essential construction projects within the continental United States, specifically addressing facilities' sustainment and modernization needs for projects under $50 million. The RE&C contracts were initially awarded in November and December 2016, encompassing a five-year base period with three optional extensions. Contract modifications aim to ensure consistency across RE&C regions while preparing for future requirements under the forthcoming Comprehensive Construction & Engineering (C2E) contract. Contact information for the contracting officer and specialist is provided for inquiries concerning this contract modification notice.
    The Air Force has issued a Request for Information (RFI) aimed at gathering insights from construction contractors regarding the potential impacts of extending the ordering period by 16 months and increasing the ceiling of the Regional Engineering & Construction Contract (RE&C) from $2.5 billion to $2.725 billion. This extension and ceiling raise is necessitated by the delayed award of the follow-on Comprehensive Construction & Engineering (C2E) contract, with the additional time also intended for administrative purposes. The RFI invites contractors to respond to specific questions about their business size, active Small Business Administration certifications, and the anticipated effects of the changes on their operations. Responses are requested by September 20, 2024, and should be limited to four pages. The document reinforces the commitment to small business participation, having initially set aside the contract exclusively for small businesses, and outlines the need for validated construction requirements within the Air Force. This RFI serves solely for informational purposes and does not constitute a proposal request.
    The U.S. Air Force is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) directed at construction contractors, concerning the Regional Engineering & Construction (RE&C) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract. The RFI seeks input on the implications of extending the ordering period by sixteen months and increasing the contract ceiling from $2.5 billion to $2.75 billion, based on validated requirements for construction needs anticipated from FY25 to early FY26. The contracting officer requests responses from interested parties on business size, socio-economic certifications, and potential impacts of these changes on their operations. A response limit of four pages is requested, with submissions due by the close of business on September 20, 2024. This effort aims to ascertain the readiness and capability of contractors in regards to increased funding and project timelines, especially given that the contract was initially awarded as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The document emphasizes the importance of feedback for optimizing future construction projects for the Air Force, maintaining compliance with small business initiatives while addressing operational needs.

This proposed enhancement is tied to the Facilities, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (FSRM) requirements for Air Force construction projects in the continental U.S. from fiscal year 2025 through early fiscal year 2026. Contractors are invited to respond to two key questions concerning potential impacts of the extended ordering period, which would end in March 2026 for the West Region and April 2026 for the Central and East Regions, as well as how the ceiling increase might modify their business strategies. Responses should not exceed four pages and must be submitted by September 10, 2024. This initiative serves as a means of collecting valuable feedback to inform future contracting decisions, rather than functioning as a formal Request for Proposals (RFP).
