PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Sentinel Operation and Maintenance Complex provides necessary command, maintenance, training, and missile handling facilities for the Sentinel (GBSD) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) to replace the current Minuteman III (MMIII) ICBM over the next two decades. The Sentinel (GBSD) Integrated Command Center (ICC) is necessary to provide centralized operations for: day-to-day mission control, status and security monitoring, weapons systems management, cyber defense, and completing the real-time, tailored leadership picture. The Consolidated Maintenance Facility (CMF) centralizes all Sentinel maintenance functions under one roof while the Integrated Training Center (ITC) is required to consolidate all Sentinel wing-level operational, maintenance, security forces, and cyber-defense training into one facility where airmen train together in a collaborative environment on Sentinel (GBSD) unique systems and devices. The Missile Handling Complex (MHC) is designed to accommodate the Sentinel (GBSD) ICBM system which uses different handling methods and security levels than the current MMIII system. The Sentinel Utilities Infrastructure Systems project will construct services for water, wastewater, electrical, natural gas, and telecommunications utilities distribution systems to serve the entire Sentinel GBSD Complex at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB), MT. These Sentinel (GBSD) facilities are necessary to improve interaction, collaboration, and efficiency in conducting day-to-day operations, maintenance, and training; they replace outdated, inadequately sized MMIII facilities; they improve working conditions and thus airmen retention; and they directly support the Nation's continued commitment to strategic deterrence. The project listed below is anticipated to be incrementally funded. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Summary description of the anticipated firm-fixed price design-bid-build construction project is provided below as well as in the provided attachment. Sentinel Utilities Infrastructure System Construct the Sentinel Utility Infrastructure System at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB) that will provide water, wastewater, electrical, natural gas, and telecommunications utilities distribution systems to serve the entire Sentinel Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Complex at MAFB, Montana (MT). Each OMC (ICC, ITC, MHC, CMF) facility project must provide water, electrical, natural gas, and telecom from the building to the project boundary, where it must be connected to the utilities provided under this project. Overall site improvements include clearing, grubbing, grading, minor demolition, drainage, utility, and communications connections, plus access paving, parking, and walkways as applicable. The work also includes fiber services to the Base utility facilities impacted by the work under this contract, including Information Transfer Node (ITNs), Electrical Substation, and water pump stations. The time associated with Base Communications squadron (Base Comm) installation of Government Furnished and Government Installed (GFGI) equipment in the ITNs will also impact the ability to provide service to the buildings. Period of Performance is anticipated to be approximately 1,095 calendar days, with a construction award targeted for fiscal year 2027. ELIGIBILITY The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 237130, Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, and the associate small business size standard is $45,000,000. In accordance with DFARS 236.204, construction magnitude is estimated to be in the price range of between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000. 100 percent payment and performance bonds will be required of proposals, should a RFP be issued for this project. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond; however, each respondent must clearly identify their business size in their capabilities statement and provide bonding information applicable to each project of interest. SUBMISSION DETAILS: All interested firms are to submit their responses to the Sources Sought Notice no later than 1:00 pm (Pacific Time) on 31 October 2025. Submit responses electronically to Kyla Couch, Contract Specialist, at kyla.m.couch@usace.army.mil. Responses to this Synopsis will be shared with the Government project team but otherwise will be held in strict confidence. All questions must be submitted to the contract specialist identified above. The Government is not committed nor obligated to pay for the information provided, and no basis for claims against the Government shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought.
