About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), operating under the Department of Transportation, is seeking qualified contractors to prepare, remove paint from, and repaint the existing ASDE (Airport Surface Detection Equipment) Tower and Shelters located at Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado. This pre-solicitation notice is intended for market research purposes to determine acquisition strategy and potential small business set-aside eligibility. Key contract requirements include hiring a contractor with QP-2 certification and proper lead abatement certifications to handle lead-containing materials identified in the tower's existing paint, applying Sherwin Williams Polysiloxane XLE-80 paint to a 12 mil final thickness in white and aviation orange colors per FAA obstruction marking standards, and completing comprehensive safety measures and environmental compliance throughout the project. The FAA intends to award a single Firm Fixed Price contract competitively to the lowest price bidder who demonstrates full responsiveness to the solicitation, maintains active SAM.gov registration with no exclusions, possesses satisfactory past performance, and presents low overall risk to the agency. Interested vendors must submit written questions, comments, or statements of interest by January 19, 2026, with no phone calls permitted; all inquiries must be directed in writing to the contracting officer.
This procurement carries no current set-aside designation, though the FAA is actively considering small business set-asides, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) participation, and SBA 8(a) program eligibility based on responses received. The FAA estimates the project cost to range between $325,000 and $450,000, though the attached Statement of Work remains in draft format and subject to change based on ongoing market research. The 90-foot tower requires comprehensive surface preparation and lead-safe work practices to address lead-containing materials discovered at multiple locations with concentrations ranging from 480 ppm to 3,700 ppm. The contractor must submit a detailed work plan within 10 business days of contract award, with a projected start date of May 4, 2026. The project scope includes site preparation, paint removal, application, cleanup, and proper disposal of materials, with specific limitations on radar outage windows and requirements for working at heights using specialized techniques such as rappelling for limited access areas.
