Description of Event:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division – Omaha District (NWO) is hosting a Virtual Industry Day on 18 June 2025 to provide additional information and gain feedback from industry on an upcoming requirement for the Sentinel Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System at F.E. Warren (FEW) Air Force Base (AFB), new utility and communication routes and connections to meet Weapon System criteria. As such, the Government anticipates a project requirement for military construction (MILCON) of a Sentinel Utility Corridor at FEW AFB missile fields located within Wyoming (WY), Colorado (CO), and Nebraska (NE). The majority of the project work will occur along the existing Hardened Intersite Cable System (HICS). As such, planning and design activities are currently ongoing to maintain execution and delivery timelines.

The event will allow prime contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to learn about this upcoming construction project. The event aims to seek industry input regarding best practices and examples of past success on similar projects. The one-hour event will include presenting the project history, a summary of major work features, constraints and challenges, and project delivery methods. A live question and answer session with USACE personnel will immediately follow the presentation.

The Government anticipates this procurement to be solicited as a competitive fixed-price type contract. In addition, the anticipated construction delivery method would be design-build (DB).

NAICS Code: 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, with a small business size standard of $45,000,000 annual revenue.
