Dover AFB Lifeguard and Pool Services

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is conducting market research to identify small businesses capable of providing lifeguard services at Dover Air Force Base's swimming pool from May 20, 2025 to September 30, 2025. The sources sought notice aims to determine if responsible small business concerns exist for a potential competitive set-aside service contract. Lifeguards will be required to perform comprehensive pool monitoring, safety enforcement, emergency response, and facility management duties, including swimming a minimum of 500 meters per duty day and maintaining ongoing training certifications. Interested small businesses must submit a detailed company profile to Ms. Sydney Hocker by April 30, 2025 at 12:00 pm EST, including company information, contact details, geographic locations, previous contract experience, Unique Entity ID, CAGE Code, and small business designation. The evaluation will focus on the company's capability to meet the extensive lifeguard service requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement.

The current procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation, though the market research is exploring the potential for a small business set-aside contract. The contract will cover a service period of approximately 4.5 months, operating seven days per week at the Dover AFB outdoor pool. While no specific award value is indicated in the documents, the contract will require multiple lifeguards capable of providing continuous pool supervision and safety management. Successful contractors must demonstrate comprehensive water safety knowledge, emergency response capabilities, and physical fitness requirements. The government emphasizes that this sources sought notice is purely for market research purposes and does not guarantee a future solicitation or contract award, serving primarily to assess the small business market's capacity to fulfill the detailed lifeguard service requirements.
