ATC Operations and Maintenance Support Contract

The Department of the Army National Guard Readiness Center is soliciting proposals for an Air Traffic Control (ATC) Operations and Maintenance Support Contract covering services at multiple Air National Guard locations including Ellington Field (TX), Martinsburg Regional Airport (WV), Quonset State Airport (RI), and Rickenbacker International Airport (OH). The contract requires contractors to provide comprehensive personnel support including site managers, air traffic controllers, administrative staff, ATCALS maintenance technicians, and weather observers who can meet minimum site manning requirements. The evaluation will use a best-value trade-off approach with Technical Approach being the most important factor, followed by Past Performance and Price, with non-price factors significantly more important than price. Proposals must be submitted electronically by March 11, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST, with questions due by February 18, 2025 at 12:00 PM EST. Technical volumes are limited to 50 pages and must comprehensively address training support, operational capabilities, and air traffic control services across the specified locations.

The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 488111 with a $40 million size standard, structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with a base period and four option periods totaling up to five years and six months. The contract includes provisions for contingency overtime hours, logistics funding, and air traffic liability insurance requirements. While no specific incumbent is explicitly named, several Collective Bargaining Agreements suggest Dynamic Science, Inc. has been performing similar services at these locations. The contract will require contractors to maintain equipment uptime rates of 97% for ATCALS equipment and 95% for weather equipment, with services to be provided 365 days per year including holidays. Contractors must also obtain a SECRET facility clearance within six months of award and ensure all personnel have appropriate security clearances. The primary place of performance will be at the specified Air National Guard bases in Texas, West Virginia, Rhode Island, and Ohio, with additional locations in New York and Vermont for specific maintenance services.
