AI summary Beta
The Department of the Navy (NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic) is asking companies for white papers on building about 12 new Marine Corps barracks (roughly 1.7 million square feet) at Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, Parris Island and Quantico using factory-built, industrialized construction. This is the first step of a two-phase Other Transaction (OT) process under 10 U.S.C. 2808a, not a normal FAR contract. Selected vendors are short-listed to receive a Request for Project Proposal later.
