Request for Information (RFI) Eielson AFB, Alaska

Summary: Background The Government is assessing industry interest in leasing land located at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB) in Fairbanks North Star Borough, Alaska, to a developer for market-facing development. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gauge market interest in a potential mixed-use Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) that includes family housing. The Government aims to explore the viability of creating a synergistic environment where residential living is complemented by community-focused retail and amenities, addressing the growing needs of the installation and the local community. Work Details The RFI seeks feedback on various aspects of potential development projects, including: 1. Name and brief description of the assembled team (partnership, corporation, public or private organization). 2. Business and website addresses. 3. Points of contact with names, positions, telephone numbers, and email addresses. 4. General location preference (inside vs. outside the fence line) along with minimum and maximum acreage required for the proposed concept. 5. Description of the proposed concept including: a detailed breakdown of development type and total square footage; high-level concepts for residential components accommodating families; financing structure and sources; relevant experience in developing, constructing, and operating similar assets; evidence of demand from the local market; notional project timeline to reach operational status; proposed consideration for the project (cash or IKC); feedback on barriers to project fruition; approach to community engagement; potential teaming arrangements; funding gaps if financial viability relies on Government contributions; and any additional relevant information. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the contract will be performed (if provided) Place of Performance Potential development sites are located both inside and outside the installation fence line at Eielson AFB, ranging from approximately 170-3500 acres each. Bidder Requirements Respondents must provide detailed information about their team structure, relevant experience in similar developments, evidence of market demand for their proposed concepts, and an understanding of community engagement strategies. There are no specific security clearances or licenses mentioned as requirements. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract, with Jones Lang Lasalle Americas awarded FA890322D0001 for long-term cradle-to-grave management of Air Force Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) and related privatization services (including housing and utilities), valued at $128,576,349 over 08/14/20–05/08/27. Additional related tasking under the same effort (e.g., FA890322D0001-FA890325F0024) continues long-term management support for AF housing and transient housing privatization across multiple installations. Because the current RFI focuses on leasing land for a mixed-use EUL that includes family housing—an extension of the Air Force’s EUL privatization framework—the prior work appears directly aligned with managing and supporting EUL housing development and operations.
