About this opportunity
The 22d Contracting Squadron at McConnell Air Force Base, operating under the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, is seeking qualified moving and storage companies to provide packing and crating services for personal property belonging to Department of Defense personnel. The contract will encompass preparation of personal property for shipment, containerization, de-containerization, and storage services, with contractors required to supply all necessary personnel, equipment, facilities, and materials except for government-owned containers. Services will be performed across two designated areas in Kansas: Area 1 covering Butler, Harvey, Sedgwick, and Sumner counties, and Area 2 encompassing an additional thirty counties throughout the state. This is a sources sought notice rather than a formal solicitation, and the government has made clear that it is not currently issuing a Request for Proposal or Invitation for Bid, nor does this notice constitute a commitment to award a contract. The response deadline for interested contractors is February 12, 2026, which provides two weeks for businesses to submit their capabilities statements.
The contracting squadron is specifically seeking capabilities from businesses classified as Small, 8(a), Women Owned Small Business, Veteran Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or HUBZone enterprises to determine the appropriate level of competition for the eventual solicitation. The notice indicates that no set-aside designation has been predetermined, but the government may limit competition to a specific small business category depending on the volume and quality of responses received. No award value, budget range, or contract quantity details have been disclosed in this sources sought notice, as formal specifications and performance requirements are not yet available. The government reserves the right to make determinations regarding competition structure based on market research findings and the adequacy of responses from the various small business categories. Interested contractors should prepare comprehensive capability statements addressing their qualifications to support the packing, shipment, drayage, and storage operations required across the designated Kansas service areas.
