FA2543BuckleyCoolingInfrastructureRepair

The Department of the Air Force Space Command, through Buckley Space Force Base's 460th Contracting Squadron, is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors capable of providing three material packages for cooling water infrastructure repair at the Mission Delta 4 Restricted Area. The three items required are: (1) an Elbow and Pipe Repair Package containing carbon steel pipe repair clamps in multiple sizes rated for 60 PSI water pressure with 3-Layer Polyethylene coating, (2) a Pipe Freezing Kit utilizing liquid carbon dioxide to create temporary pipe isolation on pipes ranging from 3/8" to 10" in diameter, and (3) a Carbon Fiber Composite Reinforcement Package consisting of field-saturated carbon fiber cloth with two-part epoxy for sealing steel pipe leaks. All materials must be new, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products that comply with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and ASME B13 standards. The government is seeking vendor responses addressing delivery timelines, NAICS code applicability, required certifications, warranty terms, pre-priced contract vehicle availability, company qualifications including CAGE/DUNS numbers, GSA schedule authorization, and rough order of magnitude pricing. The pre-solicitation notice deadline for vendor responses was April 9, 2026, with the pre-solicitation notice itself closing on April 29, 2026.

This announcement carries no small business set-aside designation and identifies no incumbent contractors. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed at this market research stage. A critical requirement stipulates that all three material packages must be delivered as a single consolidated delivery to Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado, within three days of order receipt—a demanding timeline that represents a key evaluation factor for vendor capability. The statement of need specifies precise technical requirements, including the Elbow Repair Package requiring 30 carbon steel clamps in various sizes and configurations, the Pipe Freezing Kit requiring achievement of minimum -109°F temperatures with high-pressure hoses of at least 16 feet in length, and the Carbon Fiber Package requiring minimum cured ply thickness of 0.0105 inches and operational capability at temperatures up to 200°F. All proposed materials must meet Energy Star or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) requirements as part of the government's sustainability standards.
