Eagle Market Basket BPA - Presolicitation Notice

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for hardware and facilities maintenance supplies to support the 718th Civil Engineering Squadron (CES) at multiple locations on Okinawa, Japan, including Camp Foster, Camp Kinser, Camp Courtney, and Kadena Air Base. The pre-solicitation notice indicates that the government plans to award between one and four BPAs for a Contractor Operated Hardware Store (COHS) that will provide essential maintenance and repair products. All interested contractors must be registered in SAM.gov to be considered for award, with the full solicitation expected to be released on or about January 23, 2025, via the SAM.gov platform. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation documents, the government will be reviewing draft documents and welcomes feedback from potential contractors. The response deadline for this pre-solicitation notice is January 22, 2025, requiring potential bidders to carefully review the attached market basket price list and prepare their submissions.

The procurement does not have a specific small business set-aside, and the NAICS code is classified under Hardware Manufacturing (332510). The market basket price list includes 357 line items covering a wide range of facilities maintenance and repair products, with quantities varying significantly across items - from as few as 5 units to as many as 1,800 units for specific products. The items span critical maintenance categories including lighting supplies, plumbing fixtures, HVAC components, painting supplies, pest control items, and general hardware. While exact award values are not specified, the comprehensive nature of the market basket and the multiple potential BPA awards suggest a substantial procurement opportunity for contractors specializing in facilities maintenance supplies. The contract will support ongoing maintenance operations for U.S. Air Force facilities in the Pacific region, with the first-year quantities providing a clear indication of the expected product needs.
