UPDATE: 19 NOV 2024
Following the Industry Day, SAF/IEIP is considering revising the RFI. The revision would provide additional specificity and explain the DAF requirements in more detail. We have developed a series of questions (attached) but would appreciate any additional input from industry regarding technical approach, corporate finance capability, and past performance. Please send any additional quesitons. The recording with the attendee list is also attached.
1.0 Description
1.1 The Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC) 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS), in support of the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) under the Department of the Air Force (DAF), is conducting a market survey to determine commercial and industry capabilities and practices as well as solicit comments about the RFI and attached documents. This Request for Information (RFI) is regarding the Strategic Real Estate Opportunities (SREO) initiative in support of six (6) major innovation (opportunity) plans at JBSA. The purpose of this RFI is to gain knowledge about interest, capabilities, and qualifications of various members of industry.
1.2 THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. This RFI is a market research tool issued to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources for the DAF’s information and planning. It is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor is it a notice of the Government’s intent to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any services whatsoever. Furthermore, the Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information provided or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude interested parties from submitting proposals for a future RFP if one is issued. If any solicitations are issued, it will be synopsized on the System for Award Management (SAM) website, www.sam.gov. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor this website for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
2.0 Background
There is a recognition among senior leaders that the DAF cannot afford to adequately maintain its current infrastructure portfolio, which can cost upwards of 10% of the total DAF budget. To address this challenge, CSAF directed SAF/IE in Jan 2023 to develop an enterprise-level approach to identify and execute 2-3 large strategic real estate actions fat DAF installation. Each SREO Pilot Project is intended to significantly reduce costs associated with operating and maintaining DAF installations.
3.0 Subject
SAF/IEIP is working with the 772nd to identify potential SREO opportunities at Joint Base San Antonio. The RFI was developed in collaboration with the 772nd and other DAF stakeholders. This RFI is soliciting interest for potential development, re-development, or lease of underutilized real estate and facilities located on JBSA. The goal of this RFI is to achieve compatible development which meets the mutual needs of the DAF and nearby communities. The DAF desires to engage industry to obtain information and levels of interest to help the Government prepare a course of action for JBSA. This RFI will also help to identify U.S. domestic entities interested in utilizing existing Title 10 authorities to develop facilities in support of the DAF mission at JBSA. Prior to entering into any agreement(s) for use of real estate or facilities, DAF will evaluate ownership and control options (fee simple, transfer, lease, etc.) for the real estate and/or facilities.
DISCLAIMER: This posting is issued solely for conducting market research and planning purposes to determine qualified and interested potential sources and does not constitute a solicitation. Neither unsolicited quotes nor any other kind of offers will be considered in response to this posting. Responses to this posting are not offers and will not be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this posting. The 772 ESS/PKS or SAF/IEIP will not entertain any questions concerning the composition, requirements, or the nature of services to be performed under any upcoming solicitation for related services. The DAF reserves the right to cancel this RFI at any time.
