The Mission and Installation Contracting Command—Fort Bliss is issuing a sources-sought notice to identify contractors capable of performing a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and repair of electrical infrastructure at Building 30430, located in Otero County, New Mexico, with responses due by July 31, 2026. The requirement carries a Total Small Business set-aside; based on market research responses, the command may set the requirement aside in full or in part for small businesses or procure through full and open competition, with multiple awards possible.

Work is performed 100 percent on-site at Building 30430, approximately two hours from Fort Bliss proper.

The contractor must provide onsite personnel including a Superintendent, Site Safety and Health Officer, and Quality Control Representative, along with equipment manuals, warranty documents, training, and final as-built drawings in AutoCAD and PDF formats. The diagnostic must be completed within five business days of contract award. Special equipment including all-terrain vehicles and trailers is required for transport due to remote location and terrain.
