About this opportunity
The 9th Contracting Squadron at Beale Air Force Base, under the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, is conducting market research to procure Catholic Priest services for the base's Catholic community. The contractor must be a validly ordained Roman Catholic priest in good standing who will provide 30 hours per week (1,560 hours annually) of religious services including weekly masses, sacramental rites, holy day services, and pastoral counseling to Air Force members and their families. Key qualifications include obtaining ecclesiastical endorsement, passing background checks, completing child protection training, and demonstrating the ability to work in a religiously diverse environment. Performance will be evaluated based on achieving 90% on-time daily masses, 100% of sacramental rites conducted as scheduled, and maintaining a minimum 75% satisfaction rating on an annual survey. The sources sought announcement is due by January 21, 2026, and this is a pre-solicitation notice for market research purposes only; it does not constitute a commitment by the Government to award a contract.
This procurement is not using any set-aside designations, though the Government is specifically seeking capabilities from Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) firms, Women-Owned Small Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and HUBZone businesses. No current contractor or incumbent is identified in this notice, and no specific budget or award value has been disclosed. The contract is expected to be awarded as a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement with a base year plus four one-year options, though the total period of performance has not yet been finalized. The Performance Work Statement indicates that Beale AFB will provide all necessary equipment and facilities, with the contractor working under the direction of the Wing Chaplain and coordinating with the Catholic Pastoral Advisory Council.
