820 RHS Well Materials

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting quotes for comprehensive well construction materials to support the 820th Red Horse Squadron's operations. The procurement includes an extensive bill of materials covering five primary categories: drilling chemicals (14 items including Baroid-brand wetting agents, polymers, and bentonite), well completion and casing materials (18 items), drilling bits and tooling (7 items), submersible pumps and motors (14 items including Grundfos pumps and Franklin Electric motors), and lubricants (12 items), plus 22 miscellaneous equipment items. The solicitation requires vendors to quote the entire package as a single Contract Line Item Number under a Firm Fixed Price contract structure. The government will award to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable vendor using LPTA evaluation criteria, with quotes due on September 26, 2025, at 1530 PDT via electronic submission only.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333132 with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and market research has identified at least three small businesses capable of providing the materials, including BHPE LLC, SpendsSmart Group LLC, and Prymol Business Management Inc. The contract requires delivery within 45 days after receipt of order to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, with inspection and acceptance at FOB Destination. The solicitation includes partial brand name restrictions, particularly for Baroid drilling chemicals, justified by the 820 RHS's standardized training and operational procedures that exclusively use these products to maintain mission readiness and avoid costly retraining or equipment incompatibility issues. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide specific technical specifications, delivery schedules, and company identification details in their quotes.
