Description
USAFE BOS ACQUISITION PROGRAM Update to Industry 28 January 2026 SUBJECT: Industry Update #2 on the Turkey-Spain (T-S) Base Operations Support (BOS) Acquisitions 1. Purpose: This notice provides an update to the acquisition strategy for the T-S BOS requirements previously discussed in the industry update posted on 17 April 2025. This acquisition will replace contract FA5641-20-D-0009 referred to as the United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa Base Operations Support (UABOS) Services Contract. The Air Force Acquisition team appreciates the valuable feedback received from industry during our one-on-one market research sessions. Your feedback has been instrumental in refining our approach and remains essential in shaping this future requirement as we move forward. 2. Acquisition Strategy Revision: A) Separation of Türkiye and Spain BOS requirements: Based on extensive market research and analysis, the Government has determined it will contractually separate the current combined requirement. The revised strategy is to simultaneously issue two RFPs and award two independent contracts: Base Operating Support (BOS) services in Türkiye (T-BOS) Base Operating Support (BOS) services at Morón Air Base, Spain (S-BOS) To the maximum extent practicable, the Government intends to use identical acquisition timelines, proposal instructions, evaluation criteria, and source selection methodologies for both solicitations. This parallel approach is specifically designed to reduce the administrative burden and proposal preparation costs for offerors who choose to compete for both contracts. While the acquisition structures will be aligned, the decision to separate the requirements allows the Government to tailor the specific contract terms and Performance Work Statements to the unique operational and economic dynamics of each location. B) Scope Reduction for Türkiye BOS (T-BOS) Requirement Following extensive market research on the capability of local Turkish Service Providers and an assessment of local acquisition capabilities, the Government will remove the following five functions from the future T-BOS requirement: Full Food Services/Dining Hall Operations Custodial/Housekeeping Grounds Maintenance/Landscaping Golf Course Maintenance Refuse Services at the Ankara Support Facility The USAF intends to transition these capabilities from the current UABOS to a local service providers prior to the end of the current BOS contract. The 39th Air Base Wing at Incirlik Air Base has been designated requirement owner and the 39th Contracting Squadron is the responsible acquisition organization for these five discrete requirements. Interested parties in these specific requirements should contact the 39th Contracting SQ for additional information and should monitor SAM.gov for solicitations issued by the 39th Contracting Squadron. 3. Projected Acquisition Timelines: The following timeline is tentative and subject to change. All official dates will be published in the formal RFP announcements. Solicitation Issuance: 1 May 2026 Site Visits: Site visits for both the Türkiye and Spain locations will be scheduled in close proximity to the RFP release date. The Government intends to conduct these visits on consecutive days to facilitate travel between locations, though the order of the visits has not yet been determined. Participation will be limited to a maximum of two representatives per company. Prospective offerors are advised that both locations have strict and lengthy entry approval requirements for foreign nationals. Once submitted, attendee information cannot be changed. Detailed instructions will be provided in the formal site visit announcement. Proposal Due Date: A minimum of 60 calendar days will be afforded for proposal submission. Contract Award: As soon as practicable in Calendar Year 2027. Full Performance Start: No later than 28 January 2028, preceded by a 60-day transition period. To ease the start-up burden, the Government reserves the right to stagger the full performance start dates for Spain and Türkiye Contract Type and Duration: The Government currently envisions both the T-BOS and S-BOS contracts to be Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. The pricing structure will primarily consist of Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for the core BOS functions, supplemented by Cost-Reimbursable CLINs for materials, travel, unscheduled work, mission changes, and other direct costs, and future labor adjustments. S-BOS (Spain) contract: Three-year base with four 12-month Options (7 years) T-BOS (Türkiye) contract: Due to the unique economic risks associated with labor and currency volatility, the Government anticipates a contract with a three-year base and two 12-month Options (5 years). 4. Union Labor Agreements: Collective Labor Agreements: The efforts require any prospective provider manage their local national workforce IAW Host Nation labor law, social security, employment tax laws and the terms and adhere to the conditions of the Collective Labor Agreements (CLA) for Türkiye and Spain, including all available wage and benefit schedules: For the Türkiye (T-BOS) requirement, the successor contractor is required by CLA to initially assume predecessor’s workforce. The U.S. Government (USAFE-AFAFRICA/A1K) reserves the right to negotiate the CLA directly on behalf of the contractor. If this right is exercised, the contractor will provide all necessary administrative support to the U.S. Government during the CLA negotiations. For the Spain (S-BOS) requirement, the successor contractor is required to initially assume the predecessor’s workforce. The contractor is responsible for negotiating its own company-level agreement with the union. This negotiation is economically influenced by minimum wage legislation and applicable CLAs that are declared universally applicable in the sector or region. The Government's reserves the right to provide oversight, guidance, and as needed maximum financial bargaining parameters Key Spain Considerations: Offerors are advised that the Morón Air Base workforce is subject to a company-level Collective Labor Agreement (CLA). While this agreement is currently being renegotiated, the Government will provide the final, binding version with the RFP. Based on the current historical agreements, offerors should anticipate the following critical cost drivers: Mandatory Workforce Inheritance: The successor contractor is required to inherit the incumbent workforce and all their existing employment terms, including seniority and salary. Fixed Wage Increases: The agreement dictates mandatory wage increases. For the prior three years, employees were granted increases of 3.00% (2022), 3.00% (2023), and 2.75% (2024). The current CLA applicable to Spain is under renegotiation and will be provided when available. Employer Provided To/From work transportation: The CLA requires the employer to provide transportation to and from the worksite for all employees via established bus routes. Comprehensive Fringe Benefits: The CLA mandates a complex portfolio of supplemental payments that constitute a significant portion of the total labor cost. These include, but are not limited to, a mandatory employer-funded pension plan, longevity bonuses, a distance-from-work bonus, and shift differentials. Key Türkiye Considerations: The Türkiye workforce is subject to a unique, multi-employer CLA. The USG simultaneously negotiates three CLAs with similar conditions - one for each enterprise. The enterprises are 39ABW, AAFES, and the Primary Base Operating Support contract The successor BOS contractor will be required to adopt and adhere to the terms of this CLA. This agreement creates a "dual risk" environment of high local inflation and currency fluctuation. Critical cost drivers include Mandatory Workforce Inheritance: The successor contractor is required by Turkish Labor Law (Law No. 4857, Article 6) and the terms of the existing CLA (Article 37) to inherit the entire incumbent workforce and their associated rights, obligations, and seniority Automatic Cost Escalation (High Inflation Risk): The CLA mandates semiannual wage and benefit increases every April and October. These increases are tied directly to the Türkiye-wide General Consumer Price Index published by the Statistics Agency of Türkiye; which under the current contract, has resulted in annual cost growth exceeding 50%. Comprehensive Benefit Packages: The mandated percentage increases apply not only to base wages but to the entire compensation package, including annual bonuses, social benefits (e.g., heating, clothing, food allowances), and other subsidies (e.g., child, birth, and funeral) Employer Provided To/From work transportation: The CLA requires the employer to provide transportation to and from the worksite for all employees Currency Fluctuation Risk: The contract is priced and paid in U.S. Dollars (USD), but all Turkish Direct labor costs…
