Paint Barn

The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command, through the 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, is soliciting quotes for the procurement and installation of one industrial semi-down draft spray booth to support the 91 MMXS/MXSFC section's corrosion control operations for ICBM missile system support equipment. The project requires complete removal of an existing paint booth and installation of a new unit in Building 537, with specific technical specifications including 18-gauge galvanized steel panels, booth-mounted heater unit, filtered air intake and exhaust systems, and precise electrical requirements totaling 195A capacity across two panelboards. The new booth must measure 14'1" wide x 9' high x 24' long internally and include a 30" tube-axial exhaust fan capable of 20,000 CFM with 460V 3-phase motor, 3-stage air filtration, and natural gas-fired heater with spray and cure capabilities. Evaluation will be based on technical capability to meet Statement of Work specifications and price comparative evaluation among received quotations, with award going to the most advantageous responsible offeror. The original solicitation indicated quotes were due Friday, September 12, 2025 at 11:00 AM CST, though the notice posting date of September 9, 2025 with a due date of September 16, 2025 suggests a potential extension.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the solicitation requires quotes to remain valid through September 30, 2025, indicating a relatively quick award timeline. The contractor must complete installation within 15 calendar days after receiving Notice to Proceed, working during specified hours of 0700-1600 Monday through Thursday. Performance will occur at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota 58705, with the contractor responsible for coordinating utility disconnections with base engineering, obtaining proper security clearances for base access, and providing operational training on the new paint booth system. Additional requirements include compliance with OSHA standards, proper disposal of existing equipment, and use of existing roof penetrations without modification for exhaust systems.
