About this opportunity

The Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison, WI has issued a sources sought notice to identify vendors capable of providing 15 portable platform ladders with passthrough safety cages specifically designed for F-35 aircraft maintenance. The Department of the Army National Guard is seeking these specialized ladders that must feature a 7-foot working platform height, lightweight detachable guardrail systems with pass-through gates allowing maintenance personnel to climb one side and exit through the opposite side to access aircraft tops, and construction from lightweight fiberglass materials. The ladders must comply with ANSI, OSHA, and United States Air Force standards while incorporating safety features such as slip-resistant surfaces, locking wheel mechanisms, and aircraft-protective characteristics like padded or rounded-edge guardrails. Interested vendors must submit their company information, socioeconomic status, contact details, and confirmation of their ability to provide these items as either commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) or commercial products by September 10, 2025. This is strictly an information-gathering exercise, and the government will not accept unsolicited proposals or pay for any costs incurred in responding to this notice.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the solicitation documents. While no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed, the requirement is for exactly 15 units of these specialized aircraft maintenance ladders. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 326199 (All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing) and PSC code 5440 (Scaffolding Equipment and Concrete Forms), indicating the technical nature of the manufacturing requirements. The government emphasizes that non-response to this sources sought notice will not prevent participation in any future formal solicitation processes that may be issued for this requirement.
