About this opportunity
Air Mobility Command is conducting a sources-sought notice for a custom-fitted hangar door plug system for Dover Air Force Base, with responses due by June 22, 2026. This is a Total Small Business set-aside procurement; the government is not soliciting quotations, bids, or proposals at this time and is performing market research only.
The 736 Aircraft Maintenance Squadron requires the system for Hangar 714 North to create a thermal and weather seal around a C-17 fuselage within the C-5 sized aperture. The system comprises a bolt-on, corrosion-resistant aluminum Keder rail system for mounting, high-strength fire-retardant technical fabric resistant to puncture and UV degradation, and a 110V AC electric blower with pressure relief valve. The inflatable plug must inflate fully in under three minutes, operate across temperatures from -22°F to 158°F, withstand 50 MPH wind loads, and not exceed 85 kg with packaged storage dimensions of approximately 100 cm × 80 cm × 70 cm. The fabric must meet or exceed NFPA 701 fire retardancy standards. Delivered kit includes the inflatable plug, blower, all Keder rails and hardware, storage bag, on-site repair kit, and laminated weatherproof instructions. Contractor shall provide minimum 12-month warranty covering parts and labor for material defects and workmanship.
Respondents should email a Capability Statement, CAGE code, recommended NAICS code, and product insights to the points of contact listed in the notice. Amendment 001 added two measurement documents for the C-17 and hangar specifications.
