The Army Corps of Engineers has officially requested vendor proposals for a 42,000-square-foot cyber operations facility in San Antonio. The project is designed to provide modern workspace for 270 people currently working in aging infrastructure.
Why it matters
The 91st Cyberspace Operations Squadron requires a new facility due to failing infrastructure at their current Security Hill location. The project represents a critical expansion of the Consolidated Cyber Campus at JBSA-Lackland.
The new operations center will span 42,000 square feet and feature integrated backup generators. This facility will support 270 personnel as part of the broader Consolidated Cyber Campus development.
The players
Army Corps of Engineers
This federal agency is responsible for overseeing the engineering, design, and construction of military infrastructure projects.
91st Cyberspace Operations Squadron
This military unit manages cyberspace operations and is transitioning to new facilities to replace aging infrastructure.
16th Air Force
This numbered air force acts as the service's primary organization for information warfare, including cyber and electronic combat operations.
The details
The Army Corps of Engineers is utilizing a progressive design-build approach and Other Transaction Agreements to expedite construction outside standard federal acquisition rules. This project is one of five facilities planned for the developing Consolidated Cyber Campus.
Timeline
The Pentagon began work on a $986 million cyber project in July 2026.
The Army Corps of Engineers held an industry day for vendors on October 6, 2026.
The Tech Race
This project is one of five facilities planned for the Consolidated Cyber Campus, representing a strategic shift from the aging Security Hill site toward modern, integrated warfare hubs. It follows the massive $986 million 16th Air Force headquarters development, signaling a sustained federal commitment to upgrading domestic cyber infrastructure.
Local vendors and contractors in the San Antonio area have new opportunities to engage with federal procurement via the progressive design-build process. Personnel assigned to the 91st Cyberspace Operations Squadron will eventually transition from deteriorating facilities into a modern workspace equipped with resilient power systems.
