This is an acquisition update for Base Operations Support (BOS) services in Turkey (T-BOS) and Spain (S-BOS). The government is releasing draft versions of key solicitation documents for industry review and feedback. The final RFPs are anticipated to be released around June 15, 2026 (S-BOS) and June 30, 2026 (T-BOS). Site visits are scheduled for May ****, 2026 (T-BOS) and April 15, 2026 (S-BOS). Offerors must monitor SAM. gov for new postings. Access to controlled unclassified information (CUI) documents requires certification in SAM. gov and a formal request. The acquisition strategy involves separating the T-BOS and S-BOS requirements into two independent contracts. Specific functions are being removed from the T-BOS requirement. The contracts are expected to be IDIQ vehicles with firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursable CLINs. Both contracts will require the successor contractor to assume the predecessor's workforce and adhere to collective labor agreements (CLAs), which include mandatory wage increases, fringe benefits, and transportation provisions. Special considerations are noted for currency fluctuation risk in Turkey and labor cost drivers in both locations. A draft Combined Labor and Currency (CLAC) clause is provided to mitigate risk. Offerors are encouraged to provide feedback on the draft documents and the proposed CLAC clause by April 22, 2026, via email.
