The Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), in coordination with AFICC, USACE, and IMCOM, is preparing a $2.65 billion architecture-and-engineering (MATOC) to deliver climate-informed design and construction services for new and existing Air Force and Army facilities.
With the RFP expected in March 2026, this program offers multiple set-aside tracks for small businesses and woman-owned small businesses (WOSBs). Firms that act early can shape teaming, past-performance documentation, and compliance structures before competition begins.

Why This Matters
This MATOC will help the Air Force and Army build and modernize facilities that support mission resilience and the transition to Net-Zero operations.
The contract covers multi-disciplinary design and engineering work—from field surveys and BIM modeling to commissioning and seismic retrofit design—across installations worldwide.
- For small and woman-owned firms, the opportunity is significant:
- Multiple set-aside tracks expand competitive access.
- Early preparation is critical for demonstrating Title I and II qualifications and teaming readiness.
The procurement ties directly to climate-resilient design objectives, opening doors for firms with energy modeling, sustainability, and resilience capabilities.
With only 11 anticipated awards, firms must differentiate early to secure a spot on the vehicle.
