Description
1. Purpose The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a market survey to identify qualified, capable industry sources for the manufacturing and delivery of modular, transportable building units or shipping containers to Key West, Florida. This announcement serves to assess vendor capability, determine commercial availability, and gather industry feedback on alternative project delivery and contracting strategies. The findings will assist the FAA in developing its acquisition strategy and procurement planning in accordance with FAA AMS § 3.2.1.2.1. 2. General Project Description & Scope of Work The baseline requirement comprises an estimated ten (10) structural units (shipping containers or modular building units) meeting the following preliminary specifications: Dimensions & Configuration: Assembled footprint of approximately 30 ft (W) × 48 ft (L), with a minimum interior clear ceiling height of 8 ft. Components must be engineered for highway transit, crane rigging/lifting, and rapid on-site assembly. Structural Integrity: Robust structural construction designed to withstand repeated transport, rigging, crane operations, and installation at the project site. Thermal Envelope: Fully insulated exterior walls and roof system achieving an approximate thermal resistance rating of R-28. Identification & Sequencing: Clear, weather-resistant exterior markings to facilitate accurate component identification, planned erection sequencing, and future disassembly/relocation. Modularization & Mobility: 100% modular and fully relocatable. The baseline 10-module configuration was developed to reduce road-permitting constraints; however, the FAA invites alternative modularization concepts (fewer or more modules) if they demonstrate clear efficiencies in freight transit, site assembly, or future relocation. Commercial modular alternatives or standard ISO shipping containers are encouraged. Regulatory Compliance: Full compliance with the Buy American Act (BAA). All proposed equipment, assemblies, and primary components must satisfy domestic manufacturing and sourcing criteria. Place of Delivery: Key West, Florida. Delivery Schedule: Target Delivery Date: February 1, 2027 Mandatory Delivery Completion: February 28, 2027 (dates remain subject to negotiation) 3. Submission of Capability Statements Interested vendors are requested to provide a preliminary Capability Statement addressing the following areas: Technical Capability: Confirmation of ability to satisfy or exceed the structural, dimensional, and thermal requirements, including technical overviews of any proposed modular alternatives. Buy American Act Compliance: Demonstration of domestic sourcing and manufacturing pathways compliant with BAA requirements. Schedule & Capacity: Current manufacturing lead times, production capacity, and feasibility of meeting the February 2027 delivery milestone. Budgetary Estimates: Preliminary Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing. Vendor Information: Company legal name, primary point of contact (name, phone, email), SAM.gov Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), CAGE Code, and business size/socioeconomic status under the applicable NAICS code(s). Submission Instructions: All responses must be received no later than Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to Susan.Newcomb@faa.gov and Robert.Higgins@faa.gov. Please include the project title (Modular, Transportable Building Units or Shipping Containers – Key West, FL) in the subject line of your submission. 4.
