About this opportunity
The Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) is seeking restoration services for two AC-130 aircraft (AC-130U and AC-130H) located at the Hurlburt Field Air Park, with the objective of presenting the aircraft in museum-quality condition in accordance with AFI 84-103. The solicitation (FA441725Q0144) requires comprehensive restoration services including complete disassembly, corrosion removal, sheet metal repairs, and repainting to original specifications. Potential contractors must demonstrate at least five years of experience and have completed three large frame aircraft restorations within the past five years. The evaluation will be conducted in a three-step process: first assessing pricing, then technical acceptability, and finally past performance, with technical and past performance factors considered more important than price. The solicitation response deadline was amended to June 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Daylight Time, with electronic quote submissions required.
The contract is set aside as a 100% Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) procurement under NAICS code 336411 with a size standard of 1,500 employees. The restoration will be performed on-site at Hurlburt Field, Florida, with work to be conducted Monday through Friday during daylight hours. While no specific award value was explicitly stated, the contract will use a firm fixed-price arrangement with two line items for aircraft restoration. The Statement of Work details strict technical and environmental guidelines, including specific requirements for cleaning, corrosion treatment, and painting using Federal Standard colors. Contractors must precisely replicate existing nose art and markings, and ensure all work meets professional museum restoration standards, with coordination required with base maintenance representatives throughout the restoration process.
