# San Diego Representatives Propose NAVWAR Data Center Limits

On October 29, 2026, U.S. Representatives Sara Jacobs, Scott Peters, Mike Levin, and Juan Vargas announced plans to introduce legislation that would prevent construction of a proposed commercial data center at the NAVWAR campus in San Diego unless local government consultation and approval take place. The proposal is not an active solicitation or contract, and no project value, developer, or procurement timeline was reported. For contractors and site-development stakeholders, the bill could change the conditions for future work at the campus if enacted.

- Companies involved in or pursuing NAVWAR campus development should assess how a local consultation and approval requirement could affect project planning and site work.
- No award, solicitation, named developer, or project budget is identified, so the signal does not establish a current contracting opportunity.
- The proposal is not yet law; contractors can follow the bill’s progress and evaluate potential impacts on development plans for the San Diego site.
