About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Special Operations Command is seeking a contractor to provide 12,790 short tons of caliche 1" minus with fines to maintain roadways and training grounds at the Melrose Air Force Range (MAFR) in New Mexico. The solicitation requires delivery of construction sand and gravel materials within 12 miles one-way from the front gate of Cannon Air Force Base. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management and submit quotes via email to the designated contracting officers. The evaluation criteria focus on technical acceptability, absence of negative past performance, and lowest price, with award going to the responsible vendor offering the most advantageous quote to the government. Critical deadlines include questions due by September 24, 2025, and quotes due by September 26, 2025 at 1:00 P.M. Mountain Time, with work to commence no later than September 30, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 212321 (Construction Sand and Gravel Mining) with a size standard of 500 employees. The solicitation does not specify a contract value or budget range, but requires the substantial delivery of nearly 13,000 tons of caliche material. Performance will take place in Clovis, New Mexico, with delivery required to the Melrose Air Force Range located up to 12 miles from Cannon AFB. The government desires delivery "as soon as reasonably possible" following award, with contractors instructed to submit invoices upon completion of delivery. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents, and the flexible invoice submission process suggests this may be a straightforward delivery requirement without ongoing maintenance obligations.
