About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering District Omaha is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive fuel tank inspection services at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The solicitation requires an API 653 out-of-service inspection for a specific 210,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tank, which includes fuel transfer, tank cleaning, inspection, and detailed reporting. Contractors must be capable of performing ultrasonic testing, coating condition surveys, and provide extensive documentation using standardized templates. The evaluation will be based on three primary factors: technical capability of the proposed inspector, relevant project experience, and price, with award going to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror. Quotes are due by March 4, 2025, with a requirement to hold pricing firm for 60 calendar days, and potential contractors must submit a proposal not exceeding 5 pages with specific documentation requirements.
The contract is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services), with a performance period of 180 calendar days from contract award. The place of performance is Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, specifically targeting a single fuel storage tank (Facility #7272) containing DS2 fuel. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the contract involves a firm-fixed-price procurement with two contract line items: one for the primary inspection services and an optional item for fuel removal. The solicitation emphasizes strict security requirements, including background checks and base access protocols, and requires contractors to have API 653 certification and demonstrate prior experience with similar fuel tank inspection projects. The government will provide a Firm Fixed Price Contract with funds currently noted as not available for immediate award.

Q&A_FEB 25th, 2025
1. Paragraph 4.1.6 refers to a spiral staircase but the photos in the previous inspection report only show a fixed straight ladder. Please clarify the UT collection requirements for the shell above the bottom shell course.
(UT Collections are to be made at each shell course, as accessible from the existing ladder.)
2. Paragraph 4.1.9 requires the contractor to ensure that there are no leaks at the manways by filling the tanks to at least the first shell course. Please clarify the Contractor's level involvement in this process. In particular, is this requirement fulfilled if the Contractor is on site when the tank is first filled by WPAFB following the inspection?
(Contractor is responsible for coordinating with the installation when/how much fuel is to be placed into the tank, monitoring the manway for leaks as the fuel level rises, and doing corrective action if any leaks are detected. Once the fuel level is above that first shell course and no leaks exist, this paragraph is satisfied.)
