RFLP Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Development at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson, Eielson Air Force Base, and Clear Space Force Station

The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for the development of commercial Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson, Eielson Air Force Base, and Clear Space Force Station in Alaska. Under solicitation number AFCEC-26-R-0006, the government intends to lease underutilized land to qualified entities for private commercial use in exchange for monetary consideration. This initiative follows federal policies aimed at optimizing real property assets and requires that lease payments meet or exceed the fair market value of the leasehold interest. While the government may eventually purchase AI data center services or power through separate future contracts, it is under no obligation to do so, and offerors must propose concepts that do not rely on government purchases.

This project is classified under NAICS 531190 for Lessors of Other Real Estate Property and PSC X1BB for Lease/Rental of Air Traffic Control Training Facilities. There is no set-aside designated for this solicitation. Proposals may cover one or more of the identified installations based on the developer's assessment of commercial viability. The Department of the Air Force will evaluate submissions to select potential lessees for long-term ground lease negotiations.

The response deadline for this solicitation is June 29, 2026. Performance will take place at the specified military installations in Alaska under the management of the FA8903 772 ESS PK office. Julia A. Cantrell is the designated point of contact for this notice. The solicitation is supported by 114 attachments, including utility drawings, plume maps, inspection reports, and technical depictions of the available properties.
