King Salmon (AKN) and Eareckson (EAS) Boiler Inspections

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking comprehensive inspection services for 39 boiler units and 3 unfired pressure vessels located at King Salmon Air Station and Eareckson Air Station in Alaska. The selected contractor must possess National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) certification and will be responsible for evaluating each unit's overall condition, determining remaining life expectancy, identifying parts requiring immediate or future replacement, and preparing detailed individual reports for each inspected unit within 15 days of completion. All travel, lodging, and per diem expenses must be included in the contractor's proposal, including commercial air travel to Anchorage and government rotator flights to the remote facilities. The contract will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, with technical factors including understanding of requirements, technical approach, past performance, and compliance with solicitation instructions. Questions are due by 10:00 AM Alaska Time on September 9, 2025, with quotes due by 10:00 AM Alaska Time on September 16, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) classification, operating under NAICS code 541330 with a size standard of $25.5 million. No current incumbents or contractors are specifically identified in the solicitation materials. The contract structure includes a base period from September 30, 2025, to September 29, 2026, with four optional one-year extension periods, potentially spanning five years total. The boiler equipment to be inspected was installed between the mid-1950s and 2022, representing critical infrastructure for maintaining heat in mission-critical facilities across both remote Alaskan locations. Performance will occur at the extremely remote King Salmon Air Station and Eareckson Air Station, with the latter requiring particularly complex logistics including government rotator flights and extensive advance coordination due to harsh environmental conditions and limited support infrastructure. The contractor must complete all inspections by September 31st of each contract year while managing the significant logistical challenges of accessing these isolated military installations.
