About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force Space Command, specifically the 21st Civil Engineering Squadron, is soliciting services to troubleshoot and repair three nonfunctioning Harsh Environment Uninterruptible (HEU) power supply lighting inverters manufactured by Crucial Power Products (Model HU3.0R2500N1-VA), reprogram all seven existing HEU inverters to operate in both normal and emergency modes, and replace all eight 12 VDC batteries (Part Number 7050-436) in each of the seven inverters. The work must be executed by licensed electricians and must follow all current applicable codes, regulations, and standards, with all procedures and materials requiring approval from the 21st Civil Engineering Squadron Requirements and Optimization office prior to work commencement. The solicitation is for commercial products and services under FAR Part 12 streamlined acquisition procedures, with a firm fixed-price contract structure and a 180-calendar-day performance period from the lead time event to completion. The government will evaluate proposals based on their ability to meet the technical requirements and complete the work in a professional and expeditious manner, with acceptance and inspection occurring at both the contractor's location and the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station facility. The original deadline of March 12, 2026, has been extended to March 31, 2026, to accommodate a mandatory site visit scheduled for March 18, 2026, at 9:00 AM Mountain Time, for which vendors must RSVP by March 16, 2026.
This opportunity is designated as a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS code 238210 with a size standard of $19,000,000, and no current incumbents or prior contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documents, though a previous source-sought posting in FY24 identified at least five capable vendors interested in fulfilling this requirement. The project scope includes three repairs, reprogramming of seven units, and battery replacement across all seven inverters, with work to be performed between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, unless otherwise approved in writing. The place of performance is Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station (Cheyenne Mountain AFB), Colorado, which is a restricted area requiring contractors to obtain proper base access authorization and submit a CMSFS Visitor Request at least 15 business days before work begins. Contractors will be required to follow Service Contract Act prevailing wage rates for the El Paso County, Colorado area and comply with Air Force Occupational Safety & Health standards, environmental regulations, and hazardous materials handling requirements.

AMENDMENT 01: TO ADD CLAUSE FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES
The 21st Civil Engineering Squadron (21 CES) has a new requirement for a one time service for the contractor to furnish necessary labor, tools, transportation, supplies, equipment, materials, and incidentals necessary to complete all work state in the Statement of Work (SOW).
Project Description from SOW:
a) Troubleshoot and repair three existing nonfunctioning Harsh Environment Uninterruptible (HEU) power supply lighting inverters.
b) Reprogram all seven existing HEU power supply lighting inverters to operate in normal mode during normal operation and in emergency mode upon loss of power.
c) Replace all eight 12 VDC batteries in each of the seven existing HEU power supply lighting inverters.
Manufacturer: Crucial Power Products
Model: HU CABINET
Model Number: HU3.0R2500N1-VA
Battery Part Number: 7050-436
The contractor shall follow all current, applicable codes, regulations, standards, and criteria. In addition, all work procedures and materials shall be approved by 21 CES Requirements and Optimization (R&O) prior to the start of work. The work within the SOW shall be executed by licensed electricians. The contractor shall coordinate and perform all operations in a manner that will result in a professionally and expeditiously completed project.
This requirement is commercial as it is available to the general public or by non-governmental entities for purposes other than governmental purposes and can be acquired using the streamlined acquisition procedures in FAR Part 12. In FY24, a sources sought was posted to SAM.gov, revealing at least five vendors who are capable and interested in fulfilling this requirement.

The Contractor shall obtain all necessary licenses and permits, complying with all federal, state, and municipal laws, codes and regulations applicable to the performance of the work needed.
Should this requirement not be fulfilled, the emergency lights that are designed to come on during loss of power, will remain on at all times. Having them operate as intended is imperative; furthermore, having the inverters repaired will save energy costs by not having an additional set of lights operating 24/7.
The Period of Performance (PoP) is 180 days from lead time event (receipt of any purchased materials needed to complete contracted work). This period encompasses all required activities, securing escorts, obtaining base access for personnel and vehicles, mobilization, all phases of project execution, site clean-up, and the submission of all closeout documentation.
