U.S. Space Command continues to make progress in the construction of its dedicated, purpose-built Command and Control Facility (C2F) on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama with the announcement of a Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement establishing an experienced team of program managers and complex infrastructure experts to maintain the project\u2019s expedited pace on behalf of the government.<\/p>\n
The initial $85 million agreement awarded through Army Contracting Command \u2013 Rock Island (ACC-RI) appoints an Owner\u2019s Advisor to work alongside the USSPACECOM Program Management Office, Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), and other government mission partners to define requirements, expose dependencies, develop alternatives, establish effective governance and inform subsequent decisions by the government.<\/p>\n
Funding granted in the Fiscal Year 2026 NDAA allowed the Department to leverage an Other Transaction Agreement to maximize flexibility and integrate industry technical expertise and solutions prior to the start of USSPACECOM\u2019s military construction (MILCON) on Redstone \u2013 aligning the command more closely with practices that are considered industry standards in the commercial sector.<\/p>\n
Maj. Gen. Terry L. Grisham, director of USSPACECOM\u2019s Redstone Transition Team, said bringing the Owner\u2019s Advisor on-board will create a clearer understanding of requirements between stakeholders early on, which translates to timely decisions and steady progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis OTA-1 milestone represents the command\u2019s commitment to approaching this project as responsible stewards of government funding, while carrying out Secretary Hegseth\u2019s guidance to maximize efficiencies and expedite the process where possible,\u201d Grisham said.<\/p>\n
The Owner\u2019s Advisor will play a critical role in capturing USSPACECOM\u2019s mission requirements for its permanent facility.\u00a0 They will assist in the development of a challenge statement and help mature the accelerated delivery strategy to ensure USSPACECOM receives a purpose built warfighting platform. The outcomes of this milestone will directly inform future design and construction projects across the Department of War.
