[UPDATED VERSION HERE https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=a285b1d8a58baadfe49727c6aff5826c&tab=core&_cview=1 ] With the following presolicitation (click link for original) for private contractor bids to build permanent barracks at a starting cost of up to 25 million dollars to the U.S. taxpayer, SOUTHCOM puts a definitive end to the legal fiction that U.S. military bases represent a "temporary" presence in Honduras. Contractors arrive on May 25 (next Wednesday) for a site visit.
