About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking aircraft de-icing services for MC-130J aircraft at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah during an Air Force exercise from February 3-7, 2025. The contractor must provide specialized de-icing trucks with extendable reach capabilities up to 40 feet and certified operators trained per CFR Title 14 regulations. Services will be required for two daily sorties at specific times (0930-1030L and 1400-1500L) with a final departure on February 7 at 1200L. Key requirements include maintaining a 2-hour response time, operating equipment at 100-200 psi with up to 80 gpm flow rate, and using SAE AMS 1424 Type I deicing fluid. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the performance work statement suggests a strong emphasis on operator certification, equipment capabilities, and regulatory compliance.
The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned. The contract is classified under PSC Category 1650 for Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components, with a narrow service window of five days in February 2025. Contractors will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, maintenance, and supplies, with no government-furnished facilities available. The performance work statement specifies rigorous operational requirements, including maintaining a 1,500-gallon deicing fluid capacity, ensuring operators work no more than 12 hours per day, and strictly adhering to environmental regulations for spill prevention and hazardous materials handling. The pre-solicitation was posted on January 14, 2025, with responses due by January 17, 2025, indicating a very tight timeline for potential bidders to prepare and submit their proposals.
