Dyess AFB Aircraft Wash Services - Sources Sought

The U.S. Air Force 7th Contracting Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas is seeking information from potential vendors capable of providing non-personal Aircraft Wash Rack Services for B-1B and C-130J military aircraft. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for market research purposes only and will not result in a contract award. The government is interested in identifying vendors who can perform external washes, lubrication, corrosion inspections, and maintain technical order requirements in accordance with the draft Performance Work Statement provided. Key requirements include maintaining a qualified workforce trained in aircraft maintenance procedures, adhering to strict safety and quality control protocols, performing services during designated operating hours (0700-2300), and complying with base access and operational security requirements. The government will evaluate responses based on company experience, Statement of Capability, ROM pricing structures, and responses to a Contractor Capability Survey to determine the best acquisition strategy and identify capable vendors. The deadline for submitting responses is 2:00 PM CST on January 30, 2026, with submissions to be made electronically via SAM.gov or email to the contracting officer.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. No current contractor or incumbent is identified in the available documentation. The RFI does not specify an award value or budget range, as this is a market research effort designed to gather pricing information and vendor capabilities rather than a formal solicitation. The government will provide facilities, equipment, hazardous materials, and initial training, while the contractor must furnish additional necessary equipment and maintain detailed documentation throughout the performance period. The work is classified under NAICS code 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) and PSC code J015 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Aircraft and Airframe Structural Components). Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this market research effort, though the eventual procurement is anticipated to be set aside for small businesses.
