About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is soliciting offers for 12 walk-through metal detectors to support security operations at the 2026 Great Texas Airshow at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. Under solicitation number FA301626Q7054, the contractor must deliver, assemble, calibrate, and test the metal detectors, which must be capable of detecting a full range of metal weapon threats including those concealed in body cavities while allowing spectators to retain common items such as belts, keys, jewelry, and wallets. Installation and testing must be completed by 1700 hours on May 1, 2026, with the airshow running May 2-3, 2026 from 0900-1700 hours daily, and contractor personnel must remain on-site to monitor operations throughout the event and disassemble equipment between 1800-2000 hours on May 3, 2026. The government will evaluate offers on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, and the solicitation was issued on March 25, 2026, with offers due by 2:00 PM local time on April 1, 2026. All contractor employees require background vetting through the National Crime Information Center database at least 30 days prior to the event, and no firearms or weapons are permitted on the federally owned property.
This acquisition is set aside 100 percent for small business concerns, making it available only to qualified small business contractors. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price acquisition with delivery requested by April 30, 2026, to the 502d Air Base Wing at JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas. No incumbent contractor or previous award value is identified in the solicitation materials. The metal detectors must be installed at three separate locations: three units between Hangar 58 and 61, three units adjacent to Hangar 40, and six units on the East Ramp, with the government providing six 50-inch extension cords and power outlets approximately 100 feet from two installation locations. Payment will be made via electronic funds transfer through the Wide Area Workflow system, with contracting officer Jalisa Brown (210-671-3847) and contract administrator Jason Eglinton (312-487-6084) serving as primary points of contact.
