About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking to procure 28 8-cubic yard bear proof dumpsters for Tyndall Air Force Base through solicitation FA481925Q0030. The dumpsters must meet specific technical requirements including 12-gauge hardened steel ribbed bodies, 14-gauge front loading dumping lids with mechanical quick release systems, two latch access doors with paddle latches, and dark brown powder coating for bear security. Offerors must provide technical drawings demonstrating compliance with the Bear Proof Salient Characteristics 2025 specifications, include past performance information, and specify country of manufacture and product numbers. The evaluation will be conducted on a best value basis considering technical capability and price, with quotes due by June 25, 2025 at 2:00 PM CST via email to Matthew Pierce and Benjamin Spear. Questions must be submitted by July 2, 2025 at 10:00 AM CST, and pricing must remain valid until October 31, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing) with a size standard of 600 employees. Historical data reveals previous awards to small businesses for similar bear-proof dumpsters, including 18 units in FY 2024 for $104,310, 20 units in FY 2022 for $124,098.20, and 20 units in FY 2019 for $70,925. The solicitation specifically notes that funds are not presently available for this effort and no award will be made until funding is secured, with the government reserving the right to cancel at any time. Delivery will be made to Tyndall AFB Civil Engineering 6000 Storage Area in Florida, with special consideration for the lack of a dock requiring an all-terrain forklift with chains and straps for unloading. On-site inspection will occur upon delivery with final acceptance by the customer's subject matter expert.
