About this opportunity
The Force Support Squadron at Dover Air Force Base is seeking a funeral services partner to provide mortuary services through a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) on an as-needed basis. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is procuring comprehensive mortuary services that must comply with extensive Department of Defense specifications for processing, preparing, and handling human remains. The contract will require adherence to rigorous standards covering embalming procedures, remains classification, transportation, cremation, hygiene practices, and quality assurance protocols. Funeral homes must meet detailed requirements for processing both viewable and non-viewable remains, including precise embalming techniques, chemical preservation standards, and restoration procedures. The procurement includes specific Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses unique to mortuary services (252.237-7000 through 252.237-7011). This sources sought notice was posted on July 9, 2025, with responses due by July 23, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business funeral homes. The Performance Work Statement establishes comprehensive inspection criteria for facilities, personnel, equipment, and materials including caskets and urns, with specific defect classifications for metal and hardwood products. The contract standards apply to all military service components and include detailed appendices covering terms and definitions, pre-award survey plans for funeral homes and crematories, commercial item descriptions, and quality assurance surveillance procedures. The procurement operates under NAICS code 812210 for Funeral Homes and Funeral Services and PSC code G001 for Social-Care of Remains and/or Funeral services. No incumbent contractors, specific award values, or budget ranges are mentioned in the notice, though the BPA structure suggests services will be provided on a call-order basis as mortuary needs arise at Dover AFB.
