About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking commercial hotline insulator washing services for electrical distribution systems at Vandenberg Space Force Base through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The services involve high-pressure washing of insulators and electrical components on energized 12kV and 70kV distribution circuits across 19 different electrical circuits, with contractors required to maintain specific safety distances and follow IEEE STD 957-2005 standards using de-ionized water. Contractor personnel must be formally trained in hot line pressurized washing and comply with NFPA 70 safety standards while performing visual inspections of equipment integrity. The government will evaluate quotations based on the lowest-priced technically acceptable approach, requiring vendors to submit technical narratives describing their methodology for completing the Performance Work Statement requirements. Critical deadlines include submission of written questions by 12:00 PM PST on June 16, 2025, and quotation submissions by 1:00 PM PST on June 25, 2025, with contract award intended by July 11, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) with a size standard of $9 million, and no current contractor or incumbent information is specified in the solicitation materials. The contract covers a five-year performance period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, consisting of a base year and four option years. The scope involves washing approximately 2,000 poles per year across 1,762 total poles distributed among the various electrical circuits, representing a significant reduction from historical volumes of over 4,000 poles washed in previous fiscal years. All work will be performed at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Lompoc, California, requiring contractors to obtain proper base identification passes and meet California-specific requirements for unescorted base access. The contract includes extensive environmental compliance requirements and detailed security protocols for working on the military installation.
