About this opportunity
The 22d Contracting Squadron (22 CONS) of the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking capabilities for the design, manufacturing, and installation of industrial pallet shelving units at McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas. This is a sources sought notice intended to gather market research and industry information rather than an actual solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The government is specifically seeking responses from small businesses, including 8(a) firms, Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), or HUBZone-certified businesses to determine the appropriate level of competition. Key requirements include site pre-inspection, design and manufacture of customized shelving units with integrated dunnage beams, professional installation, compliance with all safety and fire regulations, and post-completion functional testing. All contractor and subcontractor personnel must pass National Crime Information Center (NCI) background checks, obtain base identification and vehicle passes, and comply with strict security protocols. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is February 6, 2026, with work to be performed during standard business hours (0700-1500, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and wing down days).
The procurement includes no current set-aside designation, though the government reserves the right to limit competition to a specific small business category or implement set-asides for particular work scopes based on response data. The project involves two distinct shelving systems: a 3-tiered unit measuring 157 feet 1 inch long by 7 feet 10 inches wide and capable of storing 45 passenger seat pallets (463L format), and a 2-tiered unit measuring 105 feet long by 7 feet 10 inches wide for storing 20 Air Transportable Galley Lavatories (ATGLs) or ISU 90s. The 3-tiered seat pallet unit must reach a total height of 14 feet 10 inches, while the 2-tiered ATGL unit must reach 10 feet 2 inches, with both requiring precisely configured dunnage consisting of three beams per bay. The government will provide site equipment including a 15,000-pound crane/forklift with 8-foot forks and a 4,000-pound forklift with 5-foot forks for material handling. No specific budget range or contract value has been disclosed in this sources sought notice, and any security-related delays or scope changes will be charged to the government and require written change orders approved by both parties.
