NAVFAC Europe/AFCEN just pushed out a huge construction vehicle (≈ $100 M) for Naval Station Rota in Spain and surrounding sites in Spain/Portugal — this IDIQ contract covers new building, major repairs, and renovations across key Allied basing hubs through March 2034, with the first task order (~$4.94 M) earmarked for renovating the Pinz Bowling Center on base.

Baker Jacobs JV won a firm‑fixed‑price IDIQ (~$95 M) for multi‑discipline architect‑engineer services that span the NAVFAC Atlantic area worldwide, setting up longer‑term opportunities for surveys, design, and construction management across Navy and Marine Corps shore facilities.

Raytheon’s contract modification (~$14 M) supports engineering and sustainment for the Evolved SeaSparrow and NATO SeaSparrow missile programs, tying U.S. sustainment and design agent work into allied procurement and support frameworks for these key naval air defense systems.
