About this opportunity
The Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin is seeking sources capable of providing five portable aircraft ladders designed specifically for safe access to F-35 aircraft. This Sources Sought notice, issued by the Department of the Army National Guard, is intended to identify potential vendors prior to formal solicitation rather than to request quotes or bids at this time. The ladders must be self-supporting, stable structures featuring a passthrough guardrail system or walkthrough extension that enables users to safely climb one side and step onto the aircraft from the top platform on the other side. Key technical requirements include ANSI, OSHA, and United States Air Force compliance; Type I, IA, or IAA duty ratings; fiberglass construction with padded or rounded edges to minimize aircraft damage; slip-resistant bases and rungs; wheeled bases with locking mechanisms; and corrosion protection. Interested vendors must submit their responses via email with the reference number "Sources Sought W50S9F26Q0002" in the subject line by December 3, 2025, providing firm name, UEI, socioeconomic status, point of contact information, vendor assertions regarding product availability, and detailed product specifications.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation for small businesses or other special categories. No incumbent contractor or previous award information has been identified for this requirement. The notice does not specify a contract award value or budget range, as this is a preliminary market research phase designed to gauge supplier capability and availability before formal solicitation documents are developed. The government seeks five portable ladder units total, with the specific quantities suggesting a relatively modest procurement scope focused on immediate operational needs at the single Air National Guard facility. Notably, non-response to this sources sought notice does not preclude potential vendors from participating in any future Request for Quotation, Invitation for Bid, or Request for Proposal that may be issued based on the market research findings.
