Teaming & Subcontracting Opportunities

DEP Design Engineering Partners is actively seeking teaming arrangements with US prime contractors and AE firms pursuing military aviation infrastructure programs through USACE, NAVFAC, AFCEC, and Foreign Military Sales. We bring proven airbase delivery experience, FAA/UFC-compliant design capability, and in-country MENA execution to every partnership.

Why Prime Contractors Choose DEP

We understand the pressure primes face on government programs — tight proposal timelines, demanding technical requirements, and the need for a local partner you can actually count on. DEP is built to solve those problems.

🏠

In-Country Presence

Established offices and personnel on the ground in Lebanon and KSA. No fly-in/fly-out team — DEP's engineers live and work in the region year-round.

🤝

Government Relationships

Established working relationships with host-nation government ministries, municipalities, and regulatory bodies — critical for permitting, approvals, and stakeholder access.

📐

US-Standard Deliverables

Design packages formatted for US Government review: UFC/UFGS-compliant specifications, USACE submittal register formatting, and USAID-aligned documentation protocols.

Rapid Proposal Support

DEP can produce teaming letters, technical volumes, staffing plans, and past performance writeups within 48–72 hours — no bottlenecks at proposal crunch time.

🌐

Multilingual Execution

English, Arabic, and French across all disciplines. No language risk on host-nation coordination, permitting documents, or contractor communication.

💰

Competitive Local Rates

DEP's in-country cost structure delivers significant savings versus US-based design labor for MENA-region programs — improving your proposal's cost competitiveness.

Teaming Models We Support

DEP adapts to the teaming structure that best serves your program — from long-term IDIQ partnerships to single-award task order support.

🥇

Design Subcontractor

The most common arrangement — DEP serves as your AE subcontractor, delivering all or part of the design package under your prime contract. We manage our scope independently to your milestone schedule.

Typical Scope

  • Full design package (arch + structural + MEP)
  • Design-only or design + review
  • Scope-split with prime's US-based designers
  • BIM/Revit model delivery
👥

Teaming Partner (Pre-Award)

DEP joins your team at the proposal stage, contributing to the technical approach, staffing plan, and past performance volume. We execute a Teaming Agreement (TA) covering exclusivity, work share, and terms.

Typical Support

  • Technical approach contributions (MENA-specific)
  • Key personnel CVs and staffing matrix
  • Past performance references and writeups
  • Exclusivity commitment during proposal period
🏗

Construction Management Partner

DEP provides resident engineering and site supervision teams embedded within the prime contractor's project delivery structure — serving as your eyes and ears on the ground.

Typical Scope

  • Resident Engineer / Inspector deployment
  • QC plan implementation and reporting
  • Submittal & RFI management
  • Progress and punch-list reporting
🔍

Independent Technical Review

DEP performs independent design reviews on behalf of prime contractors or owners — validating contractor submittals, checking code compliance, and identifying constructability issues before they become field problems.

Typical Scope

  • Design conformance review
  • Shop drawing review & approval
  • Value engineering studies
  • Peer review of third-party designs
