# USACE Awards $38 Million Fort Stewart Barracks OTA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Savannah District awarded Buildz, LLC a **$38 million** Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement for an 86-bed modular barracks at Fort Stewart, Georgia, reported November 6, 2026. It is USACE’s first construction award using OTA and combines factory-built modular construction with on-site demolition, site preparation, and utility work. The project is planned for completion in Spring 2029; the procurement was completed in under 91 calendar days.

- The agreement covers design and construction of a 41,710-square-foot barracks, including demolition of existing Building 212 and furniture and equipment.
- For contractors, this award demonstrates USACE’s use of OTA for construction and the potential fit of modular delivery, design-build capability, and OTA experience for similar work; this award itself has already been made.
- Procurement teams can use the project as a concrete example when evaluating delivery approaches that combine off-site factory production with installation work, while recognizing that the signal does not identify a new solicitation.
