NAVFAC Pacific is surveying companies that could build a large aircraft parking apron at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal in Australia. This is a Sources Sought notice only, not a request for bids, and no contract will be awarded from it. The project is anticipated to be between $150M and $200M.
Watch out for
- Very large project overseas. A $150M to $200M airfield project in Australia is far bigger than most small businesses handle, so you would likely need a partner or strong past experience.
The magnitude of construction for this project is anticipated to be between $150,000,000 and $200,000,000.
- Sources Sought only. No solicitation exists yet and the Government may never issue one, so effort spent responding may not lead to a bid.
This is a Sources Sought announcement only.
- Short response and no clarification. Your answers are limited to six pages and the Government will not ask follow-up questions or give a debrief.
The Government will not provide a debriefing on the results of this survey.
