ACQUISITION STRATEGY – PRE-AWARD

USACE – Louisville District will use a streamlined competitive selection process:

• Step 1 – White Papers: Interested parties will submit a Statement of Qualifications limited to twelve (12) pages or less (excluding the surety letter). Following evaluation of the qualification packages, the Government intends to short-list a target of three (3) of the highest qualified Design-Builders to proceed to Step 2.

• Step 2 – Pitch Presentations: Short-listed must attend a mandatory site visit at Fort Campbell, KY during pitch preparation, followed by live, interactive Pitch Presentations. Presentations will evaluate real-time problem-solving, technical approach, risk management, and team chemistry with the Government Project Delivery Team (PDT).

• Step 3 – Exclusive Negotiation: Based on pitch evaluations, the Government will select one Design-Builder to enter exclusive negotiations.

All interested parties should monitor the official solicitation announcement, which will provide complete details and submission instructions. Draft documents may be provided at a future date for feedback and informational purposes only and are subject to change upon issuance of the formal Project RFQ.
