Okinawa Industry Engagement: Progressive Design-Build & Accelerated Design-Build The 18th Contracting Squadron (18 CONS) invites industry partners to an Industry Engagement event on 11 August 2026 at Kadena Air Base.

This event will introduce revolutionary collaborative delivery methods and non-traditional acquisition strategies authorized under the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

RSVPs are required by 30 July 2026.

Event Details Date: Tuesday, 11 August 2026 Time: 08:30 – 11:30 JST (Sign-in begins at 08:00) Location: Rocker Club (Ballroom 3), Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan Target Audience: General contractors, design-build firms, engineering consultants, and non-traditional defense contractors.

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.

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.
