MetroNaps EnergyPods

The 9th Contracting Squadron at Beale Air Force Base, California, is conducting a sources sought inquiry to identify qualified vendors capable of providing MetroNaps EnergyPods for the 427th Reconnaissance Squadron's operational fatigue management requirements. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command seeks a dedicated fatigue recovery system with specific characteristics including scientifically optimized pod design for 20-minute power naps, ergonomic reclined positioning, acoustic privacy dome with ambient noise masking, integrated timed waking system with vibration and ambient light, tamper-resistant commercial-grade construction, and configurable time settings with secure administrative controls. This is explicitly not a solicitation for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this sources sought notice, which serves only to gauge industry capabilities and gather information about potential vendors and their size classifications. The anticipated future contract action would be structured as a firm-fixed price brand name award, though vendors with alternative solutions that meet or exceed the stated requirements are encouraged to respond. Interested parties must submit capabilities statements, specifications sheets, and any applicable GSA schedules by August 14, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. PDT via email to the designated contracting personnel.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 337214 (Office Furniture except Wood Manufacturing) and PSC code 7110 (Office Furniture). No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the sources sought documentation, as this inquiry is focused solely on market research and vendor identification rather than competitive procurement. The Statement of Need does not indicate specific quantities of EnergyPods required, focusing instead on the technical specifications and operational requirements for the fatigue recovery system. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with responding to this sources sought or any subsequent information requests. The timeline for this market research phase extends through mid-August 2025, with responses due within one week of the posting date.
