About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa is procuring fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrate through the 52nd Contracting Squadron for Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.

This procurement stems from the National Defense Authorization Act of 2020, which mandated the Department of Defense transition from Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) to fluorine-free foam to meet environmental and health regulations. The evaluation will be based on price and technical factors, with award going to the vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the government. Questions were due Friday, September 26, 2025 by 2330 CEST, and quotes are due Monday, September 29, 2025 by 2330 CEST.
This solicitation does not utilize any small business set-aside due to the overseas location, with Perimeter Solutions identified as the current manufacturer of the specified foam product. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement involves exactly 1,325 gallons of specialized firefighting foam concentrate across five large totes. The place of performance is Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany, though delivery may be acceptable at the consolidated shipping point in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania with subsequent shipping arrangements. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) and PSC code 4210 (Fire Fighting Equipment), and represents a one-time purchase requirement. Contractors must provide certificates of conformance proving the foam contains no per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and ensure proper hazardous materials shipping compliance.
