Phase 1 Solution Briefs: due November 18, 2026, at 9:00 PM Central Standard Time; only respondents invited after Phase 1 go on to Phase 2 oral presentations (December 14 to 17, 2026) and Phase 3 submissions (due January 15, 2027).

Who can bid
- Meet the eligibility requirements in the MACH1 Umbrella Program Notice and the attached AOI
How to submit: Email to 772ESS.PKA.MACH1@us.af.mil. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- Serious: Three-phase selection, later phases by invitation. Phase 1 solution briefs are due November 18, 2026; only invited respondents give Phase 2 oral presentations, and only those invited to Phase 3 negotiate.
- Worth checking: Very large design-build program. The work suits experienced design-build teams; the full F-47 campus is about $1.057 billion in programmed funds, though that isn't the value of this agreement.
- Minor: Not a standard FAR contract. An OTA follows its own terms, so standard FAR protections and procedures may not apply.
