Description
This is a PRE-SOLICITATION notice for the design-bid-build construction project of the FY22 KC46-A Kitting Facility located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. To increase competition and reduce risk, Tulsa District is intending to implement a new price scheme called Prices Include Variation Over Time (PIVOT) to allow offerors to provide different prices depending on how long the Government takes to make the award. This will allow contractors to mitigate risk by giving the Government a better cost if the Government were to award more quickly vs. putting the most risk-averse pricing that assumes the Government will not award until the end of the proposal acceptance period. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Tulsa District has been tasked to solicit for and award a new FY22 KC46-A Kitting Facility project.
