About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center is conducting a sources sought notice for design-build construction services at Kirtland Air Force Base involving power infrastructure improvements. The project encompasses installing 34 wooden poles and corner poles, replacing 14 wooden power poles with metal poles, and performing utility infrastructure upgrades focused on electrical transmission line maintenance and service enhancement. Interested firms must submit a 5-page response by March 3, 2025, addressing their company details, small business status, and providing at least two relevant project examples from the past five years demonstrating similar design, installation, and power pole replacement capabilities. Respondents will be evaluated based on their demonstrated experience in overhead power line construction, technical capabilities, and small business classification. The contracting team, including Contracting Specialist SrA Edward Shults and Contracting Officer Zachary Laurenz, will review submissions to determine potential contract set-aside strategies.
The opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with an anticipated contract value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Potential contractors must possess specific qualifications, including a minimum of 5 years experience in overhead transmission construction and electrical engineering expertise with professional licensing. The project timeline requires completion within 280-314 calendar days from contract award, with critical requirements including maintaining power redundancy, coordinating complex power outages, and obtaining necessary environmental permits such as SWPPP and fugitive dust permits. Contractors will need to work closely with Kirtland Underground Munitions and Maintenance Storage Complex, providing 30-day advance notice for any power interruptions. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement, with the specific NAICS code to be determined after the sources sought notice closes.
