PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Title: Theater Aircraft Corrosion Control Hangar, Kadena Air Base

Project Location: Okinawa, Japan

Product Service Code (PSC): Y1BZ – Construction of Other Airfield Structures

NAICS Code: 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction

Project Magnitude: Between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000 (DFARS 236.204)

Construction Type: Design-Bid-Build (DBB) Construction

Project Description: This project is to construct a corrosion control facility for painting large-bodied aircraft. The facility consists of a single bay prep/wash hangar, a second hangar for a Paint Booth to be fitted in/constructed by a different contract, and support spaces for painting and sanding operations. The project will include supporting facilities such as utilities, pavements, and site improvements to provide a complete and usable facility. The facility should be compatible with applicable United States Department of Defense, Air Force, and base design standards. This project includes an option CLIN for an exclusion zone. This project WILL NOT include the construction of the Paint Booth.

The government is considering making two separate solicitation packages for the construction of the Aircraft Corrosion Control Hangar. First package, a Design-Build solicitation for the acquisition of the Paint Booth to be fitted into the corrosion control prep hangar will be issued. American and Japanese contractors can participate under this solicitation (Article 14 will apply). The successful offeror will then work with the US Government (USG) to articulate the building modifications necessary for their product into the Design-Bid-Build package for the construction of the Hangar Facility. A separate solicitation (for contractors with Japanese construction license) to construct the Hangar Facility without the paint booth will then be issued and awarded. In this scenario, both the Booth Manufacturer and the Prime contractor for construction of the facility are awarded separate contracts to work directly with the USG. Each contractor will be responsible for coordinating with each other as indicated in their respective contract documents.
