What this contract is for

Purpose and Mission Context The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2026 provides the Department of War (DoW) with significant additional authorities to combat systemic schedule delays and cost growth. Crucially, Section 2802 amended Subchapter I of Chapter 169 of Title 10, adding 10 U.S. Code § 2808a. This new authority allows the "Secretary concerned" to leverage Other Transactions (OT)—rather than traditional contracts, cooperative agreements, or grants—to execute all stages of military repair and construction projects. These collaborative delivery methods enable early alignment between the DoW and industry, improve cost certainty, and accelerate delivery timelines compared to traditional Design-Bid-Build methods. Looking Ahead: Team Kadena intends to execute 1 to 2 pilot construction contracts in FY 2027 leveraging these new authorities. Our goal is to ensure local and international industry partners have a comprehensive understanding of these execution methods and are positioned to participate. Topics of Discussion Presentations and open Q&A sessions will focus on non-traditional acquisition and contract management strategies, specifically: Progressive Design-Build (PDB): Authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 3241(g). Accelerated Design-Build (ADB): Design-Build methods and Design-Build Contracts (DCA) to accelerate the design effort, authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 3241(f). Other Transaction Authority (OTA) for Construction: Authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. RSVP & Base Access Instructions Interested parties must submit their registration details via email to Ms. Moriah Clark at [email protected] and Kurt Stuebs at [email protected]. RSVP Deadline: No Later Than (NLT) 14:00 JST on 30 July 2026. Required RSVP Information: Full Name of attendee(s) (E...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
