About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field Air Force Base is seeking contractors to provide comprehensive cosmetic restoration services for a static display MC-130H aircraft. The project requires complete disassembly, extensive corrosion removal from exterior and interior surfaces, sheet metal repairs, component reassembly, and repainting to the aircraft's original historical color scheme using Federal Standard polyurethane paints, with all work performed to museum-quality standards. The contract is being considered under the small business set-aside program with NAICS Code 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and a size standard of 1,500 employees. Interested firms must submit a five-page capabilities package by close of business on January 16, 2026, electronically to SSgt Antonio Ortega and Mrs. Alyssa Gentry, which should include company business size, socio-economic status (such as 8(a), HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran-owned), anticipated teaming arrangements, three past references, and subcontracting details. This is a Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes only and does not constitute a binding request for quotation or proposal, with future acquisition information to be posted on SAM.gov.
The requirement carries no set-aside designation beyond the anticipated small business set-aside consideration. No incumbent contractor or current award value has been identified in the pre-solicitation materials. The restoration work will be performed on-site at Hurlburt Field Park in Florida during standard business hours (Monday through Friday, daylight operations), with the contractor responsible for providing all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, supplies, and materials to accomplish the work. The contractor must ensure strict environmental compliance, implement safety protocols, and prevent any damage to the aircraft or surrounding areas during the restoration process. Specific paint specifications include Federal Standard colors FS 37038 Flat Black, FS 17925 Gloss White, FS 36118 Dark Gray, and FS 36293 Light Gray applied according to precise requirements determined by the base historian.
