About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region is seeking a small business contractor to provide bird mitigation and cleaning services for the QRJ Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR) facility in Jedburg, South Carolina. The critical mission objective is to address predatory bird perching that is causing damage and impacting communication operations at this air traffic control site. Specific work requirements include pressure washing the facility's catwalk and platform, installing approximately 10,000 square feet of bird netting, deploying two laser bird deterrent systems, and installing 400 linear feet of bird shock track with two solar charges. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation including manufacturers' materials specifications, safety plans, and detailed project schedules. The solicitation was posted on April 28, 2025, with proposal responses due by May 9, 2025, and contractors must coordinate all activities with local FAA facility personnel and obtain all necessary federal, state, and local permits.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside within the Exterminating and Pest Control Services (NAICS 561710) category. The project will be performed in Summerville, South Carolina, with a focus on minimizing operational disruption to the mission-critical facility. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract requires comprehensive services including site preparation, bird deterrence installation, cleanup, and potential damage repairs at no additional cost to the government. The FAA will provide site access and facility representative oversight, requiring contractor coordination at least 48 hours in advance of any work. The proposed project timeline indicates a targeted completion by July 31, 2025, with the contractor responsible for maintaining a clean site, removing temporary equipment, and ensuring immediate containment of any potential debris or site hazards. Contractors must also carry minimum locally required liability insurance to cover any potential damages resulting from their work.
