USACE anticipates a solicitation will be issued in January of 2026 with a pre-proposal site-visit scheduled in February 2026, and a contract award around September 2026.

The purpose of these facilities is to provide material and vehicle storage, and administrative and maintenance support for the DABS - Facilities, Equipment and Vehicles assets. The facilities will need to include overhead bridge cranes, lightning protection, overvoltage protection, closed-circuit television, and information systems connectivity. Supporting facilities include vehicle parking, security fencing with gate, security entry control building, shed supplies and equipment depot, a scale, material processing depots (for hazardous materials, petroleum oil, and lubricants), loading and unloading area, environmental mitigation, site improvements (landscaping, grading, and paving), and site utilities.
