It is essential to establish consistency, continuity, and comprehensive understanding of the complex and unique operational and training requirements of the Special Operations Forces (SOF). One critical element in meeting SOF's mission is a multi-phased development of a large campus complex in a coastal environment. It is intended to embed one dedicated, most qualified A-E contractor, for the duration of the planned multi-phased development program to ensure a seamless integration of the current and planned facilities required to meet the highly specialized operational and training mission unique to NSWC.

Primary A-E services required: preparation of Design-Build Request for Proposals (DB RFP); site investigations to support new development of facilities on raw land and/or redevelopment of existing facilities on developed sites in a coastal environment; studies, reports, and evaluations; support and coordination of various technical disciplines, such as, architect, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, environmental and planner. Secondary A-E services required: fully designed plans and specifications; cost estimates; preparation of DD Form 1391 or similar planning and programming related documents; Post Construction Award Services (PCAS). Support A-E services may require: identification and abatement methods of existing asbestos containing materials, lead-based paint, and other hazardous materials; addressing constructability issues, such as, phasing of work in occupied and unoccupied facilities; disruption of both utilities and operations of the site and building occupants during construction. Types of projects may include, but are not limited to, new construction and renovation of a variety of building and facilities with specialized functions and features unique to NSCW. Project scope may include: a multi-phased large campus complex site and infrastructure developments in a coastal environment; urban warfare with close quarter combat facilities; indoor/outdoor shooting ranges, unmanned aerial vehicles, dive tanks, sensitive compartment information facility (SCIF), specialized ammunition and weapons storage; and other support training facilities for amphibious, clandestine, survival, evasion, resistance, and escape training operations.
