About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command, through the 460th Civil Engineer Squadron at Buckley Space Force Base, is conducting a sources sought notice for Restricted Area Maintenance Support (RAMS) services under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services). The procurement involves comprehensive technical services for mission-critical infrastructure supporting the Space Based Infrared Radar System (SBIRS), including HVAC, electrical systems, power production, and engineering services that require extremely high reliability standards of 99.9999% uptime per fiscal year. Contractors must demonstrate recent relevant experience within the past five years and provide capability statements including their socioeconomic status, CAGE code, and evidence of similar contract performance with reference contacts. Personnel requirements are stringent, requiring a minimum of 50% of staff to hold Top Secret/SCI clearance with the remainder actively pursuing such clearance, along with specific certifications including OSHA 30-hour training and CPR certification. Interested contractors must submit their capability statements by 2:00 p.m. MST on July 8, 2025, via email to Contract Specialist Ms. Kayla Barnett at Kayla.Barnett.1@spaceforce.mil.
This sources sought notice does not indicate any set-aside designation at this time, though the government specifically encourages responses from small businesses across all socioeconomic categories including 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs to determine potential set-aside opportunities for future solicitation. The contract requires 24/7/365 support operations across multiple technical disciplines, with personnel responsible for operating and maintaining complex electrical distribution systems, HVAC systems, and energy management control systems in a restricted area environment. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the documentation, and no contract value or budget range has been disclosed. The government emphasizes this is purely an informational market survey with no funds available for response preparation and no obligation to award a contract based on the responses received. The final solicitation, if issued, will be announced separately and require distinct proposal submissions from interested parties who must monitor beta.SAM.gov for future announcements.
