The 36th Contracting Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, is doing market research (a Sources Sought, not a bid request) for a full-service maintenance contract on oil water separators, a wash rack trench and holding tanks. It is set aside for small businesses and the government wants capability statements by 16 October 2026.
Watch out for
- Sources Sought only, not a solicitation. This is market research; there is no contract to bid on yet, and the government may never issue a solicitation.
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION/REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
- Work statement not readable. The draft PWS attachment was password-protected and could not be read, so detailed requirements, equipment counts and the performance standards are unknown.
- Remote location on Guam. Performing on a military base in Guam may mean base access, travel and mobilization costs and time-zone differences for a small business.
- Contractor carries all service risk. A single fixed price covers all inspections, maintenance, repairs and certifications, and the contractor chooses how many visits are needed, so under-estimating costs falls on the contractor.
