Who can bid (5)
- Small business under NAICS 484220, with a size standard of $34 million; the suite is set aside 100% for small business.
- Representations and certifications on record in the System for Award Management (SAM), which is free to register in.

Show all 5Show fewer
- Capability to respond within 4 hours of initial contact and complete the work within one business day of initial contact.
- Limits on subcontracting: the contractor will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount the Government pays to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.
How to submit: Email with your intent to participate, with "W911S227QA006, Airfield Equipment Support Services" in the subject field; the email address is not given in the text read. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (7)
- Serious: Capability statement must show a 4-hour response and work finished within one business day. A statement that does not show this is rated unacceptable, and any unacceptable item makes the whole offer unacceptable.
- Worth checking: Two similar projects in the past five years required. Experience is checked with the agencies you name and rated acceptable or unacceptable.
- Worth checking: Work timing is worded two ways. The offer instructions ask for work completed within one business day of initial contact. The PWS says physical work starts no later than the next business day after your response. Ask the contracting officer which governs.
Show all 7Show fewer
- Worth checking: No guaranteed work. Work happens only on funded calls, and past demand ran from 5 to 30 repairs per year.
- Worth checking: You are strictly responsible for damage to equipment. Hauling and handling heavy airfield equipment carries damage risk that your insurance and pricing must cover.
- Minor: Installation access rules. Every worker needs a DoD credential, temporary pass or local access badge after a criminal history check, and an adverse check means denied access.
- Minor: Service Contract Act wage rates apply. A Department of Labor wage determination for Jefferson County, New York is attached, so labor must be priced at or above its rates.
