The Department of Defense, through the Department of the Army, is preparing to solicit proposals for the construction of five new pre-engineered metal Environmental Protection Shelters (EPS) at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. The project aims to provide approximately 20,000 square feet of shelter space designed to accommodate the B-2A “Spirit” aircraft, along with necessary airfield and ground support equipment paving, and maintenance kiosks to support electrical and communication needs. This initiative is crucial for enhancing the operational capabilities and maintenance of the aircraft, with an estimated project value between $25 million and $100 million. Interested contractors can expect the solicitation to be issued in the first quarter of FY25, with proposals due in the second or third quarter of FY25; for further inquiries, they may contact Scott Dwyer at Scott.Dwyer@usace.army.mil or Brittany Gull at brittany.c.gull@usace.army.mil.
