FA4613 Synthetic Ice Rink

The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command is conducting a sources sought notice for a synthetic ice rink project at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The procurement seeks industry input on the installation of a 60 feet by 30 feet synthetic ice rink platform within a 40 feet by 80 feet area, including ground preparation and a tensile fabric enclosure capable of withstanding 150 mph wind gusts. Potential contractors are required to respond to specific questions about their capabilities, including providing their CAGE Code, confirming ability to meet Statement of Work requirements, and discussing their synthetic ice system. The agency is seeking information about surface maintenance, skate equipment, and the most appropriate North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the project. Responses are due by May 7, 2025, with a critical requirement that failure to answer the provided questions may result in a company being deemed non-responsive.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for the contract, suggesting it will be open to a broad range of potential contractors. The base bid includes installing the rink platform, synthetic ice surface, surrounding wall, and providing 96 pairs of skates in various sizes, along with additional equipment such as a skate sharpener, benches, and cleaning tools. An optional power connection component is included, requiring the contractor to install two 110V weather-resistant outlets and coordinate with local utility providers. The project has a performance period of 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with work limited to 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial investment in creating a recreational facility for the Air Force Global Strike Command personnel.
