NAVFAC Southwest Awards Contract to Construct Warehouses in Bandiana, Australia
The task order includes options to outfit the warehouses with furniture, fixtures, and equipment for a total cumulative value of $28,594,510. The projects will construct two new warehouses which include parking, storage, office spaces, restrooms, fire suppression systems, electrical power, and other amenities that will make the buildings suitable for use.
“These projects are examples of the ongoing partnership between the U.S. and Australia as critical infrastructure is built to support U.S. and Australian military long term equipment storage for training exercises in Australia and within the Pacific theater,” said NAVFAC Southwest Pacific Deterrence Initiative Program Manager Earl Estrella.
Work will be performed in North Bandiana, Australia with an expected completion date in April 2028.
This project falls under the U.S. Force Posture Initiative (USFPI), which aims to demonstrate the strength and commitment of the US-Australia alliance, enhance deterrence, and promote regional stability and security.
The procurement for this project was swift and utilized an Indo-Pacific multiple award construction contract vehicle to promote competition and success. The project marks another construction milestone for the United States and Australia in implementing the agreement by both governments to establish Northern and Southern nodes within the combined logistics networks in Australia under the Force Posture Agreement, announced at the Australia-U.S. Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN) 2025.
NAVFAC Southwest supports planning, design, construction, real estate, environmental and public works for U.S Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force and other supported federal agencies in the Southwest region and in various locations within the PACOM theater to include Southern Australia.
