Buckley SFB - Playground Repair

The Department of the Air Force Space Command is conducting a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified vendors for repairing, replacing, and refurbishing playground equipment and surfaces at two Child Development Centers (CDCs) - Crested Butte and A-Basin - at Buckley Space Force Base. The outdoor playground areas have deteriorated after several years of exposure to Colorado weather conditions, resulting in safety inspection write-ups that have rendered some equipment unusable. The scope of work includes addressing structural deficiencies in playground equipment such as broken components, cracked surfaces, deteriorated pour-and-fill surfaces, damaged cables and ropes, sun-faded coverings, and compromised safety features as documented in the extensive photographic evidence provided. Site visits will be coordinated after interested vendors are identified to allow for detailed assessment of the required repairs. Responses to this Sources Sought notice are due by August 22, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualifying small business entities. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the notice, as this is a preliminary market research effort to gauge industry capability and interest before formal solicitation. The extensive photographic documentation shows widespread deterioration across multiple playground structures, including equipment that has been temporarily secured with caution tape due to safety concerns, suggesting a comprehensive repair project will be required. The timing indicates the government is moving quickly to address safety issues, with only eight days between the notice posting and response deadline. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing) and PSC 7830 (Recreational And Gymnastic Equipment), confirming the specialized nature of playground equipment repair and refurbishment services required.
