Interested parties have until March 13, 2026, to submit information demonstrating their capability and interest in fulfilling the requirement, which includes providing all necessary personnel, supervision, and equipment. The government has explicitly stated that information received will be evaluated solely at its discretion to determine whether a competitive procurement process should be initiated; responding to this notice does not guarantee contract award. Interested contractors should contact Contracting Specialist A1C Seth James (seth.James.1@us.af.mil) or Contracting Officer Mercedes Perez (mercedes.perez.1@us.af.mil) for further inquiries. No set-asides are applicable to this opportunity, and participation is available to any entity capable of meeting the stated requirements.
