B500 Staircase Carpet Replacement

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting proposals for carpet replacement services in the B500 command section staircase and entryway at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. The project involves demolishing approximately 875 square feet of existing carpet in the staircase and 428 square feet in the entryway, followed by installation of new carpet tile. Contractors must purchase materials exclusively through six approved U.S. Air Force mandatory source carpet contract vehicles from specified manufacturers including Mohawk, Bentley, Engineered Floors, Mannington, Tarkett, and Milliken. The evaluation will be conducted using a lowest price technically acceptable approach, where vendors will be ranked by total evaluated price and must demonstrate technical acceptability by meeting all Performance Work Statement criteria. Technical questions were due September 12, 2025 by 11:00 AM CDT, with answers provided by September 15, 2025, and quotations are due September 17, 2025 by 11:00 AM CDT via email to craig.johnson.37@us.af.mil.

This opportunity is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses with a total potential award amount of $19,000,000, though this appears to be a maximum ceiling rather than the expected value for this specific carpet replacement project. The solicitation requires completion of all work within 30 calendar days from the date of award, with work to be performed during normal business hours and the ability to close off the stairwell during installation. The project involves replacing carpet on a straight staircase that is 54 inches wide with 22 total stair treads across two half flights, with the new carpet tile installation wrapping the entire stair structure. Contractors must obtain necessary security clearances for work at the Air Force facility and comply with multiple building and safety codes. The contract will be administered under NAICS code 238330 for Flooring Contractors, with the 55th CONS PKP serving as the contracting office.
