B1921 Repair Power

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice to identify potential contractors capable of designing, planning, constructing, and managing a power capacity upgrade for Building 1921 at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina. The project involves removing and replacing existing electrical infrastructure, including a 500 kVA transformer, 350 kW generator, automatic transfer switch, and 2000-gallon diesel fuel tank, with new equipment including a 1000 kVA transformer, 750 kW generator, 2500-amp automatic transfer switch, 2500-amp exterior switchboard, and 450 kVA uninterruptible power supply. Contractors must ensure new power utilities are safe, reliable, and fully functional in support of installation operations while complying with NEC, UFC, NFPA, OSHA, IBC, and Shaw AFB design standards. Performance will be evaluated based on compliance with stated objectives and acceptance criteria, including successful design review approval, construction completion within 60 calendar days, Site Acceptance Testing demonstrating independent operation and proper functionality of all systems, and delivery of as-built documentation and operations and maintenance manuals. Interested vendors must submit responses by February 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST to johnathan.youngblood.2@us.af.mil and hutton.cobb@us.af.mil with the subject line "Sources Sought Response- B1921 Repair Power."

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with no incumbent contractor identified as this is a pre-solicitation market research effort. The design phase shall not exceed 90 calendar days from Notice to Proceed with progressive submittals required at 65 percent, 95 percent, and 100 percent design stages, followed by a construction phase not exceeding 60 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. The contract requires installation of a new diesel above-ground fuel tank meeting UL 2085 standards with 72-hour runtime capacity at 100 percent load and integration of all new equipment to allow isolation, lockout/tagout, and maintenance without power loss to the building. Interested vendors must provide company information, CAGE code, UEI, applicable NAICS codes (236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and a capabilities statement demonstrating their ability to perform electrical construction work at Shaw Air Force Base. While no specific contract value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the scope of work involving utility infrastructure upgrades, transformer and generator installation, and comprehensive electrical system integration suggests a substantial construction project requiring significant technical expertise and resources.
