About this opportunity
The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona is seeking a design-build contractor to construct a Large Component Blast Booth facility, a turn-key corrosion control facility featuring a plastic media blast booth housed within a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB). This Sources Sought notice, issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, is intended solely for market research and capability assessment purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The facility must accommodate aerospace ground equipment including a B-2 Maintenance Stand, B-52 Tow Bar, and 4100 Engine Trailer, with technical requirements encompassing a 20 feet high by 20 feet wide by 40 feet deep blast booth, dual independent blast pots, full-floor media recovery system, contamination control zones, fire suppression systems, compressed breathing air systems, and dust collection systems meeting NFPA 652/654 standards. The procurement falls under NAICS 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees, and the Air Force is particularly interested in assessing small business capability and competition potential. The Sources Sought response deadline is March 4, 2026, and interested parties should direct inquiries to Mr. Randall Egbert or Mr. Matthew Gallegos at the contact information provided in the notice.
This procurement is not currently anticipated to be set aside for small businesses; however, the Air Force will consider a small business set-aside if two or more qualified small businesses respond with sufficient capability information to support such a designation. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the notice, and no specific contract award value or budget range has been disclosed at this preliminary market research stage. Respondents are encouraged to provide firm information, relevant past performance, small business certifications (including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, and HUBZone status), pricing estimates with market basis, proposed delivery schedules, and recommendations for improving specifications or facilitating competition. The government emphasizes that this notice is for information and planning purposes only; no quotes, bids, or proposals are being solicited at this time, and unsolicited proposals will not be accepted or returned. All responses must include the Sources Sought number FA8227-26-SS-AMARGLCBB, and the government will not reimburse respondents for any costs incurred in preparing their submissions. If a formal solicitation is subsequently issued, it is anticipated to include comprehensive design requirements, a 40-year engineered lifespan for the PEMB structure, and extensive commissioning and acceptance testing protocols.
