Original description

T-BOS Acquisition Update–19 Aug 2026: Notice of Scope Revision and Strategic Procurement Pause The 764th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron is issuing this update to inform industry of a significant scope revision and subsequent schedule delay for the Türkiye Base Operating Support (T-BOS) acquisition. 1. Cancellation of Current Descoping Actions / Restoration of Current Requirement Following the conclusion of mediation between the U.S. Government and the Turkish labor union (Türk Harb-İş) regarding the new 2-year Collective Labor Agreement (CLA), the Government made a strategic decision to continue all BOS functions as a consolidated requirement. The previously announced strategy to immediately descope approximately 175 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions from the core T-BOS solicitation has been cancelled 2. Impact on Local Contract Actions The 39th Contracting Squadron (39 CONS) at Incirlik AB is currently in the process of formally cancelling the four associated local contract actions and solicitations for these services. All offerors and awardees involved in those local 39 CONS actions will receive separate, direct communications from their respective Contracting Officers. 3. Schedule Impact and Next Steps Because this scope restoration fundamentally alters the PWS, the baseline cost data, and the evaluation criteria previously published in the Draft RFP, the Final RFP will not be released this month as originally projected. The Government will reconvene an Acquisition Strategy Panel (ASP) to thoroughly review the impact of these changes on the overall procurement strategy. Industry partners should anticipate a strategic pause of approximately 90 to 120 days. During this time, the Government will revise the PWS, and sanitized cost baseline estimates to reflect the newly signed CLA. Once an updated plan is formally approved, the Government will post an additional update to outline the revised acquisition strategy, define the future procurement pathway, and publish a new milestone schedule. As part of this comprehensive reassessment, the Government may also issue supplemental requests for information or conduct additional market research to ensure our final approach aligns with current market capabilities. We appreciate the significant time and resources industry has already invested in reviewing our previous draft documents. We remain committed to maximizing transparency as we adapt to these emergent operational realities. John S.
