About this opportunity
The Colorado Air National Guard 140th Wing at Buckley Space Force Base is soliciting bids for the acquisition and installation of a permanent, overhead fall protection system for the Refueling Maintenance Bay (Solicitation W50S6V26Q0002). The system must be engineered and installed to provide safe working conditions for mechanics performing maintenance on R-11 refueler trucks at heights exceeding 10 feet, in compliance with Air Force Instruction 91-203 and OSHA regulations. The contractor is fully responsible for all engineering, design, fabrication, materials, labor, equipment rental, travel expenses, shipping, system certification with a Certificate of Compliance, and one on-site OSHA-compliant training session. Evaluation will be based on technical acceptability (conformance to salient characteristics with supporting documentation), past performance review via FAPIIS and SPRS, price, and vendor responsibility. Questions must be submitted by April 15, 2026, and proposals are due April 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM MDT, with an optional site visit available April 14, 2026.
This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333923 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees; no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract is Firm Fixed Price with no contract financing available, and award is subject to fund availability. The requirement consists of one fall protection system including a permanent rail running the length of the work area, two trollies, and two 20-foot Self-Retracting Lifelines with tag lines, with a combined weight capacity of 400 pounds rated for two users. Delivery must occur within 30 days of contract award, though the government has indicated flexibility with alternative schedules to accommodate realistic fabrication and installation timelines. The place of performance is Building 340, Refueling Maintenance Bay, located at 201 Copper Mountain Street, Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado 80011, with delivery on an FOB Destination basis.

Update #4 · Latest ·
The 140th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Vehicle Management Flight (140 LRS/LGRV) at Buckley Space Force Base requires the acquisition and installation of a permanent, overhead fall protection system for the Refueling Maintenance (RFM) bay. This system is essential to provide a safe and compliant working environment for mechanics performing maintenance on R-11 refueler trucks and other high-profile vehicles.
Refueling Maintenance mechanics are routinely required to work on the top deck of R-11 refueler trucks to service vents, manifolds, and other components. This work surface is at a height exceeding 10 feet above a concrete floor, presenting a significant fall hazard. To achieve compliance with established safety standards, AFI 91-203, Air Force Consolidated Safety Standard, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations mandate the use of an engineered fall protection system to mitigate the risk of serious injury or death in such circumstances. The current facility configuration lacks a compliant system, creating an unacceptable risk to personnel.
The absence of a compliant fall protection system directly impacts the mission by creating an unsafe working condition that could result in a serious mishap. A fall-related incident would lead to the loss of a skilled technician, a unit safety stand-down, and a subsequent degradation of the 140th Wing's aircraft refueling capabilities. The installation of a permanent, engineered system is not an enhancement but a fundamental requirement to ensure the safe and uninterrupted execution of the vehicle maintenance mission and to meet all legal and regulatory safety obligations.
Please review the solicitiation attachements and follow instructions. Failure to follow provided instructions will make vendors quote be considered unresponsive.
