Packing and Crating: Area 3 (Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 21, and 23)

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hanscom Air Force Base is procuring comprehensive packing and crating services to support Department of Defense personnel relocating their personal belongings and household goods within six specific zones (Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 21, and 23) covering multiple counties across Vermont and New York. The solicitation requires contractors to provide complete moving services including premove surveys, packing, loading, containerization, storage, delivery, and claims processing for both household goods and unaccompanied baggage shipments. All bidders must include coverage for all six zones in their proposals and demonstrate a minimum daily capability of 100-200 NCWT (Navy Cargo Weight Tons) depending on the service schedule. The government will evaluate offers using a "Lowest Evaluated Price of Technically Acceptable quotes" methodology, with the five lowest-priced quotes undergoing technical evaluation to identify at least two technically acceptable proposals. Following multiple amendments, the final deadline for quote submissions is September 2, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with offers required to remain valid for at least 90 days.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 488991 with a small business size standard of $34,000,000, and there is no incumbent contractor as this represents a new procurement. The contract structure consists of a five-year ordering period with each ordering period lasting one year, allowing for ongoing service delivery across the specified geographic zones. The government has established estimated maximum daily requirements of 1,000 NCWT for each of the three service schedules (Outbound, Inbound, and Intra-City Area moves), indicating substantial volume expectations for the selected contractor. Performance will occur primarily within the designated zones across Vermont and New York counties, with contract administration and delivery acceptance taking place at 25 Chennault Street, Building 1723, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts 01731. The solicitation includes detailed requirements for compliance with Defense Transportation Regulation standards, wage determinations under the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act, and comprehensive documentation and reporting requirements.
