The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Honolulu District) plans to buy the design and construction of a vehicle parking garage at Tripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii, using a progressive design-build approach under an Other Transaction (OT) agreement rather than a regular FAR contract. This notice is for planning and an Industry Day; the solicitation is anticipated on 30 October 2026. Selection is a two-step process: white papers first, then invitation-only pitch presentations.
Things to watch
- Multi-step selection; early cut-off. Only about three firms advance from the white paper step to invitation-only pitch presentations, so a weak or missed white paper shuts you out of the later step.
By invitation only, selected Offerors will participate in
- Other Transaction agreement, not a standard contract. OT agreements use different rules and terms than FAR contracts, which may be unfamiliar to a small business.
The OT Agreement will be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP).
- Pricing not set up front. Prices for design and construction milestones are agreed as the design progresses and funds are available, so full project pricing is not locked at award.
- Industry Day answers are unofficial. Statements at Industry Day are not binding; official Q&A only follows solicitation release.
Official Questions and Answers (Q&A) will be accepted and addressed following the release of
- Remote location. The work is in Hawaii, so mobilization, labor and material logistics may be costly for mainland firms.
