About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command's 21st Force Support Squadron at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs is seeking off-base priority child care referral services to support military families. The contract requires vendors to provide monthly childcare slots broken into age groups at commercial childcare facilities, with services delivered through the militarychildcare.com platform that follows Department of Defense priority systems. Qualified contractors must hold current Colorado child care licenses, maintain National Accreditation or minimum Colorado Shines level three rating, conduct proper background checks, and comply with all Colorado childcare regulations and wage determinations. The government intends to establish multiple blanket purchase agreements with several vendors, with awards based on a best value determination considering both technical qualifications and pricing factors. Written quotes are due by August 30, 2028, with pricing submitted as bi-weekly slots by age group and standard facility hours of operation.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and no current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract structure requires vendors to provide fifty childcare hours per week for Department of Defense dependents aged six weeks to five years old, with referred childcare slots to be filled within one week of notification and government personnel having 72 hours to respond. The pricing is valid for one year with options for vendors to resubmit altered rates annually, and the overall solicitation timeline extends through 2028. Performance will take place in Colorado Springs, Colorado, supporting personnel from Space Base Delta 1, the United States Air Force Academy, and Fort Carson. The contract includes requirements for comprehensive reporting of inspections, incidents, and corrective actions to the Peterson Child Youth Program within two business days.
