WASHINGTON - Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Washington awarded a $21,734,000 firm-fixed-price contract to Grunley Construction Company Inc., Rockville, Md., for construction of the Joint Air Defense Operation Center (JADOC), Phase II, at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C.
The work to be performed provides for construction services to complete the JADOC permanent facility. JADOC's command and control centers operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, relaying information about airspace and air defense around the National Capital Region.

Also includes pavements, all utilities, site improvements, passive force protection measures, security fencing, and diverse communication routing to eliminate single points of failure and ensure constant connectivity. Special construction requirements include controlled space in accordance with intelligence community standards and use of special exterior finishes to meet Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling’s architectural design requirements. The contract contains two unexercised options, which if exercised, would increase the cumulative contract value to $22,874,308.62.
The contract was awarded Sept. 28, 2022. All work will be performed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington D.C., and is expected to be completed by October 2023.
