Air Force and Navy Housing Opportunities Announced

The U.S. Air Force announced its intention to privatize almost 1,600 housing units at Scott Air Force Base, which is east of St. Louis. The bidder who is chosen for this project will own, renovate, operate and maintain the homes and surrounding community facilities for a 50-year period. These two projects are part of a series of housing privatization efforts being undertaken by the Armed Forces.

A forum to discuss details of the project is tentatively scheduled for July 13-14 at the Four Points by Sheraton in Fairview Heights, IL. Interested parties must subscribe to the mailing list to receive future notices regarding this project.

The U.S. Navy has announced it intends to form a public-private venture to privatize family housing on four military installations.

This project will include 3,426 homes at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Stations New River and Cherry Point, all in North Carolina, and at Stewart Army Subpost, a relatively small installation near West Point, NY. Like the Air Force program, the Navy project will involve a 50-year management commitment. In the Navy project, however, the development team will form a joint venture with the Navy for the project’s duration.

A Statement of Qualifications must be filed electronically with the Navy by July 6, and interested parties must register for the solicitation. Updates and future correspondence on this solicitation will only be made via e-mail.
