The Air Mobility Command (AMC) Museum at Dover Air Force Base is seeking contractor services for corrosion control and painting of four historical artifact aircraft: the KC-10A, C-133B, C-124A, and C-45G. The Department of the Air Force is procuring these exterior refurbishment services through a pre-solicitation notice posted on February 11, 2026, with a response deadline of February 20, 2026. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of eight years' experience painting large USAF artifact aircraft and must comply with all state and federal environmental regulations, including daily paint usage limits of 25 gallons per day or 200 gallons within a 12-month period. Work must be performed Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM, with painting prohibited during winter months or when outside temperatures fall below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Prospective contractors should direct inquiries to the Contracting Officer, Ms. Victoria Barra, or Contract Specialist, 2d Lt Travis Ambrose, at the contact information provided in the solicitation materials.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricting competition to certified small businesses in NAICS code 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) under PSC Z2PB (Repair or Alteration of Exhibit Design—Non-Building). The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractor or provide estimated contract value or budget ranges. The work scope encompasses comprehensive aircraft restoration including photo documentation of existing markings, power washing, sanding, corrosion treatment, and application of Direct to Metal, UV-resistant, water-based latex paint using rollers only, with spray guns prohibited due to environmental constraints. Upon contract completion, the contractor must provide one quart of each paint color used along with corresponding Material Safety Data Sheets. All painted surfaces must meet strict quality standards with no visible primer, overspray, blisters, fisheyes, runs, sags, or roughness acceptable, and paint shall not flake, peel, or chalk within one year of contract completion.
