Navy Announces Privatization Project for Pacific Northwest

The U.S. Navy recently released a presolicitation notice for a large military housing privatization project for six installations in the state of Washington that will involve design, development and 50-year management of approximately 1,800 homes for military families and the demolition of more than 300 homes.

An Aug. 27 announcement of the project in Federal Business Opportunities includes a link where interested parties can register to receive further notification.

The Navy follows a two-step qualification process that requires registration. In the first step, interested parties submit a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The Navy then evaluates those requests and will invite no more than four applicants to respond to the second step, which is a Request for Proposals.
