Cipher Lock Replacement

The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking a contractor to replace cipher locks at Site 61 facilities, with a specific requirement to remove and replace 34 existing locks with new government-approved models. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines detailed specifications for push-button mechanical locks that must be heavy-duty, commercial-grade, and feature adjustable latch backsets and weather-resistant characteristics. Contractors must have ISR military installation access and complete the entire lock replacement project within 30 calendar days after contract award. Employee background checks and strict adherence to access control procedures are mandatory, with contractors required to wear visible company identification during installation. The project demands 100% correct lock installation without structural damage and full operational functionality, with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

There is no specific set-aside designation for this contract, which falls under the NAICS Category 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The contract requires installation of locks at a precise location (Site 61) with coordination through the 1 ETSG Site 61 Mayor Cell. Contractors must submit detailed installation completion reports including lock serial numbers and locations to the Inspection and Acceptance Official upon project completion. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the project involves replacing 34 locks with field-programmable user codes across multiple facilities. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on May 8, 2025, with responses due by May 14, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for potential bidders to prepare and submit their proposals.
