F-35 Composite Repair and Training Facility / F-35 Maintenance Facility, Hill Air Force Base, Utah

This upcoming procurement will fund the design‑build construction of two facilities at Hill Air Force Base to support F‑35 aircraft composite repair, training, and maintenance. The program is split between a composite repair & training building and a multi‑dock aircraft maintenance hangar, both requiring advanced security, HVAC, utilities, and DoD‑standard construction. The acquisition will follow a two‑step competitive process (white‑paper SQ submission then pitch presentations) with the award going to the most qualified progressive design‑build entity. • Total program funding roughly $371 million ($158 M for the repair/training facility and $214 M for the maintenance facility). • Scope includes reinforced concrete, structural steel, insulated masonry, specialized clean rooms, cryogenic tanks, HVAC, power generation, and compliance with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria and ICD‑705 security standards. • Acquisition strategy: initial Statement of Qualifications → down‑select up to three firms → pitch meetings → award of design‑build team for design, pre‑construction, and eventual construction phases.
