About this opportunity
The 97th Contracting Squadron, Air Education and Training Command, seeks 1,500 gallons of aircraft cleaning compound for Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with quotes due May 29 and questions due May 25 at 1:30 PM CST. This is a 100% small business set-aside; prospective contractors must be registered in SAM prior to submission, and failure to register renders the firm ineligible for award.
Place of performance is Altus, Oklahoma. The procurement is restricted to products qualified under MIL-PRF-87937, Type IV specifications and currently listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL-87937). Offerors must be registered as small businesses under NAICS code 325998 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing). Delivery is required by June 20, 2026. The vendor must possess a 2-inch cam and groove coupler to facilitate tanker truck transfer to the customer's soap transfer coupler.
Type IV compounds under MIL-PRF-87937 require minimum 90% cleaning efficiency, are biodegradable at 85% minimum over 28 days, must be non-toxic to aquatic organisms per EPA methods, and contain no hazardous compounds per 40 CFR regulations. Products undergo comprehensive qualification testing including immersion corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, effects on painted and unpainted surfaces, stress crazing of acrylic and polycarbonate plastics, and compatibility with rubber and polysulfide sealants.
Evaluation uses a best-value approach with two factors: Factor 1 weighs price for cost-effectiveness; Factor 2 assesses whether the quoted item meets all requirements specified in the Salient Characteristics, with quotes rated either "Acceptable" (clearly meets minimum requirements) or "Unacceptable." The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest-priced quote if justified by higher quality. Offerors must submit technical proposals demonstrating product compliance with no assumption of prior knowledge regarding offeror experience or certifications.
