Quick Summary

This notice provides a final acquisition update for the upcoming Türkiye-Spain (T-S) Base Operations Support (BOS) Acquisitions, releasing key draft solicitation documents. The U.S. Air Force will issue two separate RFPs for Türkiye BOS (T-BOS) and Spain BOS (S-BOS) services. The S-BOS RFP is forecast for release on or about June 15, 2026, and the T-BOS RFP on or about June 30, 2026. Market research for this acquisition is now concluded.

Opportunity Overview

The Government is separating the current combined BOS requirement into two independent Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Incirlik Air Base, Türkiye, and Morón Air Base, Spain. This strategy aims to tailor contract terms to unique operational and economic dynamics while maintaining aligned acquisition timelines and evaluation criteria. The scope for T-BOS has been reduced, removing Full Food Services, Custodial/Housekeeping, Grounds Maintenance, Golf Course Maintenance, and Refuse Services, which will transition to local service providers.

Anticipated Contract Details

Both contracts are envisioned as IDIQ vehicles with primarily Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) CLINs for core functions, supplemented by Cost-Reimbursable CLINs. The S-BOS contract is anticipated for a 7-year duration (3-year base + four 1-year options), while T-BOS will be 5 years (3-year base + two 1-year options) due to economic risks. Key personnel vacancies will incur liquidated damages. A unique "H-1, Combined Labor and Currency Clause" (C-LAC) is proposed for T-BOS to mitigate hyper-inflation and currency fluctuation risks, creating a ledger system for price adjustments. Both locations require mandatory workforce inheritance, with specific Collective Labor Agreement (CLA) considerations for Türkiye (USG negotiates) and Spain (contractor negotiates).

Key Dates & Actions

  • Anticipated RFP Release: S-BOS (Spain) ~June 15, 2026; T-BOS (Türkiye) ~June 30, 2026.
  • T-BOS Site Visit: May 20, 2026, at Incirlik AB, Türkiye. Registration is closed.
  • Market Research: Concluded with this update.
  • Proposal Due Date: Minimum 60 calendar days after RFP release.
  • Contract Award: Anticipated Calendar Year 2027.
  • Full Performance Start: No later than January 28, 2028.
  • CUI Access: Draft documents marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) require certified SAM.gov access requests.

Evaluation Factors (Draft)

Evaluation will likely follow a Best-Value Tradeoff approach. Draft Section M for S-BOS indicates Past Performance (Acceptable/Unacceptable), Technical (significantly more important than Price, with subfactors for Program Leadership/Staffing & Continuity and Performance Oversight & Technology), and Price (evaluated for reasonableness, balance, and realism).
