This is a firm-fixed-price commercial procurement under FAR Part 12, not set-aside for small business, issued as RFQ W912CL26QA036. The solicitation is subject to availability of funds.

Place of performance is Base Aeronaval Cristobal Colon, Cristóbal, Colón Province, Panama, with work restricted to Monday through Friday, 0600–1800 hours, except federal holidays. The NAICS code is 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing) with a 750-employee size standard; PSC is 5410 (Prefabricated and Portable Buildings).

Base CLINs require 17 relocatable buildings totaling approximately 23,900 square feet: one 50×50 office/administrative RLB (2,500 SF), two 40×50 office spaces (2,000 SF each), five 40×50 student barracks (2,000 SF each, 40–50 PAX capacity), three 50×50 cadre barracks (2,500 SF each), one medical/clinic facility (1,200–1,600 SF), two 40×50 conditioned storage facilities (2,000 SF each with 6-inch slab-on-grade), and two 40×50 covered canopies/lightning shelters (2,000 SF each with 4-inch slab-on-grade). Ten optional CLINs include additional student billeting, cadre barracks, storage, office spaces, shower units, restroom/latrine units, and 13 generators with fuel support.

All occupied RLBs must install on engineered ISO/elevated pier foundations with raised finished floors, tropical-rated exterior envelopes, HVAC with humidity control, electrical distribution with 20-ampere receptacles and generator-ready interfaces, independent local fire alarm and detection systems compliant with NFPA, passive IT/telecommunications pathways, and complete testing and commissioning. Facilities must comply with UFC 3-301-01, ASCE/SEI 7-22 (140 mph design wind speed, Risk Category II, Exposure C minimum), NFPA/NEC standards, Panama REP-2021 criteria, and applicable Panama building codes. All occupied facilities require minimum 8-foot clear ceiling height; conditioned storage requires 14-foot clear height.

The contractor furnishes all design, engineering, fabrication, labor, materials, equipment, quality control, and overseas shipment via U.S. flag vessel (DFARS 247.572). The contractor provides all temporary facilities, utilities, construction equipment, foundation work, building-side utility interfaces, and 24-hour generator support if elected. Generator fuel support is contractor-provided throughout the contract period. The contractor is responsible for site condition verification, post-award site plans, installation sequencing, and environmental compliance with Panamanian regulations.

Contractor personnel require background checks, security clearance, RSO approval, drug testing for cleared employees, and SPOT database enrollment. The contract period is one year from award with one optional six-month extension.

Evaluation uses a tradeoff approach based on three factors: Technical Approach and Schedule (must achieve "Acceptable" minimum rating), Present and Past Performance (must achieve "Satisfactory Confidence" or "Neutral Confidence" minimum), and Price (reasonableness determination only). Technical Approach is weighted more heavily than Past Performance; both combined are significantly more important than Price. Award will not necessarily go to the lowest-priced offeror. Offerors must submit recent and relevant past performance information from up to three contracts completed within the prior three years, a technical narrative detailing approach, methodology, schedule with key milestones, cost breakdown, and a completed CLIN schedule in PDF format with all unit and total prices.
