About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking a contractor to provide helium tank trailer lease and transportation services at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The solicitation requires a vendor to lease three 23ft road-legal trailer chassis capable of securing government-owned ISO WCGU-style helium tank racks, along with providing a 5th wheel mounted tractor with a HAZMAT CDL-licensed driver. Key contract requirements include transportation of helium tanks to Air Products & Chemicals Inc. in Liberal, Kansas for refilling, as well as maintenance, staging, and recertification of the tank systems. The contract will be evaluated based on lowest total price and offeror capability/experience using a pass/fail assessment. Quotes are due by January 22, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST, with the expectation that the initial contract will run from February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, with options for four additional years.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 488510, with a $20 million size standard. The contract includes provisions for three round trips per trailer annually, transportation to Amarillo, Texas for tank recertification, and comprehensive maintenance services meeting Department of Transportation specifications. The total contract will involve leasing and maintaining three specific helium tank trailers (with equipment IDs WCGU 000565-6, WCGU 000517-3, and WCGU 000492-1), with each tank estimated to require up to three refills per year. Payment terms are Net 30, with shipping designated as FOB Destination to Tinker Air Force Base. The performance will include preventive maintenance, repairs, and 10-year recertification of the three helium ISO containers, with the potential for a 6-month contract extension beyond the base and option years.
