About this opportunity
The 28th Contracting Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota has issued solicitation FA469025Q0021 to procure 1,000 CORMAX Security Lock Cores and 144 keys for a security upgrade to existing locks, cylinders, and padlocks. The procurement requires Best CORMAX Core 1CM-7MK 12 626 lock cores that must be factory-combinated to specific core marks on the existing Best Key System, with each core including one operating key. The solicitation specifies that only Dormakaba Group's Best CORMAX lock cores are authorized with no acceptable substitutes, as they have been exclusively designed for Ellsworth AFB to prevent unauthorized key duplication. The evaluation will be conducted in four steps: meeting solicitation requirements, ranking quotes by total evaluated price, evaluating technical acceptability against salient characteristics, and making a best value determination based on technical merit and price reasonableness. The current proposal due date is July 24, 2025 at 12:00 PM MDT, with delivery requested by September 12, 2025.
This procurement is set aside as a 100% Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) contract under NAICS code 332510 with a size standard of 750 employees. The government documents indicate that Ellsworth AFB owns the patent to the K keyway with Cormax and will need to communicate directly with Cormax to release cores and key blanks to the selected contractor. While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation involves supplying 1,000 lock cores and 144 keys through a single Firm Fixed Price contract using FAR Part 13 procedures. The government envisions creating 4 zones throughout the base that are keyed the same, with a master key for all zones on a single control key, though a Master Key system has not yet been developed. Performance will take place at Ellsworth Air Force Base, located at 1940 EP Howe Drive, Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, with the contractor needing to work with the base locksmith to finalize key system details after contract award.
