Who can bid
- Small business under NAICS 238220 (size standard $19M); this is a 100% small business set-aside
- Active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov)
- To attend the site visit and enter the base, send a request with firm name, phone number, visitor names and a copy of a Real ID Act compliant driver's license or U.S. passport
How to submit: Email the completed Standard Form 1449 (SF 1449) to angel.solis.2@us.af.mil; the subject line must read: Solicitation Number -Quote- Company Name, due November 3, 2026, 10:00 AM Eastern. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (9)
- Serious: Small businesses only. Only small businesses under the $19M size standard for NAICS 238220 can bid.
- Serious: Quantity unclear: two units or 1 Each. The notice says two 10-ton units while the schedule says 1 Each; a quote is priced per unit, so ask the contracting office which is right.
- Worth checking: Line items differ: CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 or CLIN 0001 only. The notice says to price CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002, but Section B and the instructions list only CLIN 0001.
Show all 9Show fewer
- Worth checking: 30 calendar days to finish, including inspection. The unit must be bought, delivered and installed, then inspected and punch-listed, within 30 calendar days after receipt of contract, so equipment lead time matters.
- Worth checking: Resource list and project schedule must go with the quote. The Government scores a list of equipment, materials and labor skills and a project schedule, so a quote without them may not be fully evaluated.
- Worth checking: Site visit on October 28, 2026 is not mandatory. The notice calls the site visit critical but not mandatory; attendance requests are due October 27, 2026 and questions go in writing as RFIs.
- Worth checking: SAM.gov registration takes time and a notarized letter. A firm not yet fully registered must send a notarized letter to GSA to activate its registration, which can take weeks. Check a SAM.gov registration.
- Minor: Base access rules. Visitors need ID, vehicle registration and proof of insurance, and firearms of any kind are prohibited on the base.
- Minor: Access notice names a different base. The base access notice names Punta Borinquen Air National Guard Base while the work is at Muñiz Air National Guard Base; ask the contracting office to confirm.
