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 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.

The Air Force is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) aimed at gathering insights from construction contractors regarding the implications of extending the ordering period for the Regional Engineering & Construction Contract (RE&C) by an additional sixteen months and increasing the contract ceiling from $2.5 billion to $2.75 billion. 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).
