It is not only one of the largest construction projects ever for NAVFAC, it is considered the first ‘innovative contingency contract’: “This contract encompasses cutting-edge procedures geared to unique rapid response/emergency missions. NAVFAC will deliver on its promise to provide contingency construction support, surge to meet emerging requirements, and provide the necessary capability and flexibility to support the Navy’s mission in today’s ever changing world.”-Linda Stein, NAVFAC Contract Specialist

NAVFAC Atlantic officials also stated that the global project is necessary to provide an immediate response for civilian construction contract capability. The Naval Construction Force contractors must also be able to perform under emergency situations. Each individual innovative contingency contract must be completed by July 2029.
