How to bid on Wright-Patterson AFB construction market research for the Army
What the Army is researching
The Army, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in support of the Air Force, is seeking market research responses from firms interested in design and construction work for upcoming projects at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The projects include a 170,000-square-foot secure campus renovation, a new research laboratory, test-facility electrical modernization, and heating-system work.
This is an RFI for market research, not a contract solicitation or request for proposal. The notice says no solicitation is currently available, and responding does not commit the Government to award a contract or reimburse response costs.
Deadline and what it means
Responses are due November 2, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The notice says the response date was revised to this deadline.
This deadline is for submitting market research information, not a bid for contract award. The notice states that participation is voluntary and that responding will not affect a firm’s ability to submit a proposal if a formal solicitation is issued later.
Who this opportunity may suit
This notice may interest firms that design or build commercial and institutional facilities, including contractors and teams with experience in secure renovations, research laboratories, major electrical systems, or heating infrastructure.
The notice lists NAICS code 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, for market research about the interested industry base. It notes that the code is not being used to apply FAR-based small-business regulations to an Other Transaction Authority.

Practical preparation tips
Keep the response focused on the work your firm can support. Connect relevant experience and capabilities to the project areas described in the notice, such as secure renovation, laboratory construction, high-horsepower electrical systems, or heating plants.
Because this is market research, make it easy for the Government to understand your firm’s role, relevant project experience, and the kinds of work you are interested in. Review the notice carefully, follow its response instructions, and allow time to submit before the deadline.
