Industrial Control Technician

Air Force Space Command is conducting a sources-sought inquiry for Industrial Control Technician services at Buckley Space Force Base with a response deadline of October 28, 2026; this is a Total Small Business set-aside.

Work is performed at the 460 Civil Engineer Squadron facility at BSFB. The contractor will staff two positions: an Industrial Control Technician and an Industrial Technician. Both personnel must hold Secret-level security clearances and possess Defense Biometric Identification System cards for unescorted base access. The Industrial Control Technician performs hands-on maintenance, configuration, and cybersecurity hardening of field-level operational technology infrastructure, including diagnosis and repair of electromechanical faults in control cabinets (PLCs, relays, I/O modules) and troubleshooting network connectivity issues (BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP). The Industrial Technician role requires system administration for CE-specific servers, workstations, and applications (NexGen IT, AutoCAD, BUILDER), weekly data backups, user account management, and DISA STIG compliance implementation, including automated vulnerability scanning and weekly security audit log reviews.

Performance requirements mandate 100% compliance across four key objectives: operational technology physical security with zero unauthorized active ports; 100% successful weekly backup execution; 100% monthly vulnerability scans with CAT I vulnerabilities mitigated within 15 days and CAT II within 30 days; and 100% weekly security audit log reviews with 24-hour escalation of anomalies. Work hours are 7:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday, with telework eligibility subject to Contracting Officer approval. The contractor must assign an off-site Contract Manager, submit a Quality Control Plan within ten business days of award, and deliver monthly status reports.
