About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation FA4626-26-R-0016, "Maintain Exterior Finishes," a five-year Requirements-type contract with a $4.5 million maximum value for exterior maintenance and repair work at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana.
The initial task order encompasses work on Buildings 400 and 1448, including: installation of 76 missing window panes and 6 complete window frames with panes in Building 400 (priced as lump sum under CLIN 0001AC); overhead door replacement in Building 1448; and an asbestos and lead-based paint survey (CLIN 0001AG). Window specifications require traditional oil-based glazing putty with panes installed to match existing adjacent panes; Building 400 is not a historic structure. Key requirements include a Quality Control Manager dedicating at least two hours daily to QC duties (who may be dual-hatted with other roles) and performance within 75 calendar days during normal operating hours (0730–1600). Liquidated damages are set at $405.96 per day. The Government will provide storage at Building 1448's wash bay (unsecured after door removal) and designated outdoor storage at Building 400; 110V power and water from a hydrant north of Building 470 are available at no cost, with contractors bearing costs for temporary connections or additional power. Contractors must field verify all window pane dimensions. Future task orders beyond the initial seed project will be negotiated individually and subject to fair and reasonable determination by the Contracting Officer. The seed project award depends on Government funding availability.
