The Air Force at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas wants a funeral home to provide mortuary services (preparing and caring for remains of authorized personnel). It is a total small business set-aside. The funeral home must be within 50 miles of the base. The notice does not state the contract length.
Watch out for
- Funeral home must be near the base. A 50-mile limit rules out firms without a licensed funeral home in that area, and a business would need its own licensed facility there.
Funeral home location MUST NOT exceed 50 miles from Little Rock AFB, AR.
- Wide scope with many items to price. The contractor must supply facilities, vehicles, caskets, urns, shipping containers and transportation, so pricing needs the attached Price List.
caskets, urns, outer shipping containers, transportation and perform hygienic practices
- Short timeline. Offers are due Oct. 16, 2026 and questions are due Oct. 13, 2026, so there is little time to read the attachments.
