5000 Gallon Self Contained Aboveground Tank

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command's 633rd Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a 5,000-gallon self-contained aboveground tank to support jet refueling operations. The requirement seeks to replace an existing 1,000-gallon tank that is in poor condition and causing extended maintenance timelines and aircraft downtime for the 1st Maintenance Group. The new tank must be double-walled, skid-mounted with UL-142 and STI F-921 ratings, include a single-phase self-priming centrifugal pump rated for minimum 60 gallons per minute, and feature multiple safety components including emergency vents, interstitial monitoring, and high liquid level alarms. The tank must be coated in Langley "Beige" with interior coating compatible with jet fuel and include 100 feet of 1.5-inch hose reel. This RFI is strictly for market analysis purposes with responses due electronically by September 10, 2025 at 1700 EST to primary contact Craig Gooden or secondary contact Margaret Young. Companies are asked to provide feedback on the draft Statement of Work, confirm if two weeks is sufficient for quote preparation, and share additional considerations for quoting.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332420 (Metal Tank Heavy Gauge Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees. The procurement falls under PSC code 5430 for Storage Tanks, and vendors without this NAICS code in their SAM profile must submit certification of their small business qualification status. The requirement specifically calls for one new 5,000-gallon capacity tank to replace the current 1,000-gallon unit, representing a five-fold increase in fuel storage capacity. Installation will be performed by the 633d Civil Engineer Squadron with no additional infrastructure improvements required. The tank is designed for direct defueling of contaminated fuel from 1st Fighter Wing aircraft and must meet stringent safety and technical specifications including explosion-proof electrical connections and various monitoring systems. No incumbent contractor information or budget ranges have been disclosed in this market research phase.
