# USACE Hosts Industry Day for VSFB Construction

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, is conducting an Industry Day on October 22, 2026, in San Luis Obispo, California, to present and discuss major construction and infrastructure projects at Vandenberg Space Force Base valued at approximately $375 million. These projects will be procured using Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements with Progressive Design-Build and Construction Manager at Risk acquisition strategies. The event provides construction firms with relevant experience an opportunity to engage early, offer feedback, and prepare for upcoming solicitations related to significant base infrastructure improvements.

- The portfolio includes key projects such as the $65 million South Base Entry Control Facility, $13.3 million Road and Infrastructure Improvements to Space Launch Complex 5, and $13.2 million Telecommunication Lines upgrade between South and North Base, all under OTA-PDB agreements.
- Procurement professionals should note the use of OTA agreements and innovative contracting methods that may differ from traditional FAR-based processes, requiring specialized knowledge and readiness.
- Construction firms specializing in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220) are positioned to benefit from early engagement and should consider participation to align capabilities with project requirements.
- This event signals significant investment in space-related infrastructure, reflecting DoD priorities and offering substantial contracting opportunities in California for qualified contractors.
