F-22 Wash and Corrosion Control

The Department of the Air Force's 633d Contracting Squadron is seeking F-22 Wash and Corrosion Control services at Joint Base Langley Air Force Base through a firm-fixed-price contract. The comprehensive aircraft maintenance services include towing F-22 aircraft to wash racks, performing wash preparation (masking, taping, protective covers), manual external cleaning, landing gear lubrication, canopy transparency waxing, maintenance documentation, and returning aircraft to designated parking spots. The contractor must provide 16 full-time equivalent personnel, supervision, labor, all necessary tooling equipment, tow equipment, and safety gear to wash up to 20 aircraft per week. The government will evaluate proposals based on best value considering price, technical approach, and past performance, with technical evaluations rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable. The original proposal deadline has been extended multiple times, with the final due date of September 26, 2025 at 10:00 AM, following corrective actions addressing Contract Line-Item Number pricing structure concerns raised in a pre-award protest.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Women-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 488190 with a $40 million size standard, and there is no incumbent contractor as the previous wash contract ended in 2020. The contract structure includes one base year from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods extending through September 2030, totaling a potential five-year performance period. Operations will occur Wednesday through Sunday with specific hours (0800-2200 EST Wednesday-Friday, 0700-1900 EST Saturday-Sunday), requiring personnel to maintain specialized certifications including Tow Super, Tow Driver, Wash Super, and limited Red X certification. The contractor will be responsible for providing consumables, personal protective equipment, and absorbing costs associated with security clearance investigations and Common Access Card processing for personnel. Performance will take place at the 1 MXG facility at 230 E Flightline Road Building 750, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, with comprehensive quality control monitoring through periodic inspections and maintenance completion rate evaluations.
