The MACH1 (Modernized Agile Construction Horizons) framework is utilized by the 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (772 ESS) to explore and/or execute innovative, agile, or modernized construction and delivery capabilities. MACH1 is designed to bypass the administrative lag of traditional procurement and leverage industry expertise, leading capabilities, and highly flexible project delivery models. The 772 ESS executes this program under the standalone statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a(a), which authorizes the Secretary concerned to enter into transactions (other than contracts, cooperative agreements, or grants) to carry out repair and construction projects for facilities, including the planning, design, engineering, prototyping, piloting, and execution of such repair and construction projects. Facility Construction or Repair Project opportunities will be independently posted as an Area of Interest (AOI) -- "MACH1_AOI_Project Title" -- referencing this MACH1 parent notice that outlines a competitive, streamlined three-phase procedure to submit responses to active AOIs.
