About this opportunity
The Air Mobility Command seeks a Director of Catholic Music Ministries and Music Accompanist at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, with proposals due October 9, 2026, and questions due October 2, 2026 by 1:00 PM EST. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 711130, Musical Groups and Artists.
Place of performance is Dover, Delaware (436 AWHC Chapel 1). The contract requires 316 billable hours annually over a one-year base period (November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027) plus four optional one-year extension periods through October 31, 2031. A single qualified individual may perform both roles if meeting all qualifications for each position. The incumbent is Holmes Steffi M (Contract FA449721P0020, value $308,024.00).
Minimum qualifications require two years' experience leading music in a congregational Catholic worship setting, piano proficiency with the ability to sight-read traditional and contemporary music, and documentation from current pastor or church leadership verifying active practicing Catholic status. The contract applies Service Contract Labor Standards per the wage determination dated August 12, 2026 for Delaware's Kent County.
Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology across three subfactors: (1) Experience, demonstrated through resumes; (2) Contractor's Approach, addressing knowledge of the Catholic Mass, collaborative capability, and conflict resolution; and (3) Audition—an in-person performance on October 13–14, 2026, consisting of five musical pieces (postlude/prelude of offeror's choice, contemporary, liturgical, gospel, and cantering selections), graded pass/fail, with failure on any single piece rendering the proposal technically unacceptable. Offerors must submit a single fully burdened composite hourly rate covering both positions and all costs. Payment submission requires Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Contracting officer is Gabrielle DiMaio at gabrielle.dimaio@us.af.mil, 302-677-2185. An amended solicitation and Q&A were posted October 6, 2026; the solicitation close date remains October 9, 2026.
