About this opportunity
The 22nd Contracting Squadron, Air Mobility Command, is issuing a Request for Information to identify qualified contractors capable of providing Catholic Religious Support Services at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, with responses due by July 2, 2026. This procurement is set aside for Total Small Business and anticipates a five-year firm-fixed-price contract (one base year plus four option years, October 1, 2027 through September 30, 2032).
The Contractor will provide three positions: a Catholic Priest, a Catholic Religious Education (RE) Director, and a Catholic Music Director/Musician. The Priest must deliver sacramental ministry, weekly liturgical services with reconciliation, and pastoral care to military members and families at an average of 20 hours per week. The RE Director must hold Archdiocese for Military Services (AMS) certification, develop and execute religious education programs, and maintain sacramental records with minimum 25 hours weekly availability. The Music Director must have a minimum of two years' continuous experience directing music or choirs in a Catholic church setting and provide liturgical music for weekend and Holy Day masses with 88 annual hours for specified observances.
All contractor personnel must complete Criminal History Report Inquiry (CHRI) clearance, obtain Defense Biometric Identification System Access Credentials (DACs), and comply with base security procedures. The Government will provide office space, equipment, and supplies; the Contractor supplies all personnel, transportation, and other support materials.
A critical constraint exists: the Archdiocese for Military Services does not endorse priests furnished by third-party commercial contractors. The Government acknowledges it is unaware of an AMS-approved mechanism for contractor-furnished priests and states the Contractor bears responsibility for obtaining necessary AMS endorsement and faculties. The Government may restructure the requirement and contract the priest position separately if the consolidated acquisition strategy proves infeasible.
Performance occurs at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. NAICS 813110; PSC G002.
