PROJECT OVERVIEW Project Title: US Space Force Integration Facility, F/10852 Location: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), OH NAICS Code: 236220 Total Program Funding: $394,000,000.00 IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The USSF Integration Facility is a newly programmed mission at Wright-Patterson Air Force WPAFB, Ohio. It serves as a highly classified and secured contiguous operations area to enable Director for National Intelligence (DNI) and United States Space Force (USSF) directed and endorsed missions in areas of the highest national security, housing intelligence analysis and production for new and expanded all-source means that enable near-real-time capabilities.

The facility supports the intelligence needs of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, USSF, joint warfighters, policymakers, and acquisition professionals, driving intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) for space domain operations including detection, characterization, and targeting of adversary space capabilities. The adjacent existing facility, Building F/10854, will remain fully occupied and uninterrupted, maintaining 24/7 business operations and ICD 705 security accreditation throughout construction, requiring strict utility, access, physical security, and logistical phasing constraints.

Construction is broken into distinct agreement phases under the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) framework. Phase 1 (Design & Pre-Construction): This Phase is structured to collaboratively advance the facility design from initial concepts to 65% design maturity, perform detailed constructability reviews, conduct transparent open-book cost estimating, identify and mitigate complex interface risks, and validate the overall space programming.

Pre-construction services will establish a baseline cost and allow for early design and potential separate authorization of long-lead procurement items. Phase 2 (Final Design and Construction): This Phase will include the completion of final design documents (95% and 100% Certified Final), fast-tracking capabilities, and all physical construction activities, including structural, interior finishes, specialized secure Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) fit-out, redundant systems commissioning, and final security accreditation.

Phase 2 will also include comprehensive site work, utility distribution integration, and connection into the active Building F/10854. Phase 2 covers construction of the multi-floor, approximately 333,700 SF secure USSF Integration Facility, including the physical connection to active Building F/10854, the integration of high-efficiency HVAC networks, a backup generator facility, high-security electrical switchgear, and the buildout of specialized SCIF and SAP compartments.

The Government will use available concept design information, programmed requirements, and initial planning data as the initial technical baseline. During Phase 1, the selected Design-Builder will validate the baseline and may recommend refinements; any material deviation from the Government’s baseline will require Government review and approval. The scope generally encompasses the following critical lines of effort: Critical Infrastructure and Utilities: Installation of high-efficiency mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems designed for 24/7 continuous operation, electrical tie-ins to centralized utilities, backup generator integration (7,500 KW), Lightning Protection Systems (LPS), and addressable fire protection networks.

Secure Facilities: Turnkey design, construction, and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) accreditation of highly classified Special Access Program (SAP) SCIF spaces built to stringent ICD 705, IC Tech Spec, and Telecommunictaions Electronics Material Protected from Emanating Spurious Tranmission (TEMPEST) shielding standards to ensure complete physical, visual, and acoustic isolation.

New Construction, Envelope, and Physical Connection: Construction of a new structural frame with metal panels and pre-cast exterior walls, establishing a secure thermal wall envelope, executing the physical and utility connection to adjacent operational Building F/10854, and conducting all associated site work, paving, and access control infrastructure. V. ACQUISITION STRATEGY - PRE-AWARD The USACE will use a streamlined competitive selection process: Step 1 –RFQ: Interested parties will submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ).
