Buckley SFB FA2543 Gas Valve Replacement

Buckley Space Force Base, under the Department of the Air Force Space Command, is conducting market research to procure gas valve replacement services at its facility located at 606 S. Aspen Street in Colorado. The primary objective is to identify qualified contractors capable of providing fully qualified technicians and specialized tools to replace six gas control valves suspected of damage from a faulty gas regulator. Key contract requirements include compliance with UFC 3-410-01, UFC 3-420-01, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes, and applicable state and local codes, with technicians required to hold certifications and licenses for servicing commercial boilers and specialized experience on Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters and Lochinvar Knight Boilers. The Government has issued ten specific evaluation questions designed to assess vendor capabilities, including delivery timelines, appropriate NAICS coding, required certifications, pre-priced contract vehicle availability, warranty options, pricing guidance, and feasibility of completing work within 60 days of award. The due date for responding to this sources sought announcement is April 29, 2026, and it is important to note that this is market research only; the Government is not currently accepting unsolicited quotes at this time.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder has been identified in the announcement. The contract period of performance is 60 days from award, with an effective award date of April 1, 2026, and no specific budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The scope includes replacement of six gas control valves with comprehensive deliverables such as valve assemblies, fittings, gaskets, and specialized testing equipment, followed by system inspection, leak checks, safety inspections, and re-commissioning of all boilers and water heaters. Respondents are instructed that the Government is specifically seeking authorized resellers with items available on GSA schedules rather than open market sources, and the Government has requested that interested parties provide Rough Order of Magnitude pricing to inform the procurement strategy.
