About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to establish a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement for PreKote Blue, a chemical surface pretreatment product used during aircraft wash processes for various aircraft including KC-135, C130J, C-130 AFSOC, B-1, E-3, and E-6 platforms. The solicitation (FA8125-26-Q-0005) requires contractors to provide PreKote Blue in 275-gallon totes with specific part number 101891-109 and manufacturer serial number 6850PHM00372503, in accordance with Technical Orders 1C-135-6WS-25 and 1-1-8. This chemical serves as a safer, more environmentally friendly replacement for Iodine, which contains Hexavalent Chromium that the Air Force has worked over 25 years to eliminate from aircraft painting processes. Contractors must respond to Requests for Quote within three business days for standard requirements or within 24 hours for urgent needs. The evaluation criteria will assess pricing for reasonableness, realism, and balance, with awards made to vendors offering the lowest total evaluated price meeting all solicitation requirements. Offers are due by October 17, 2025, at 12:00 PM.
This procurement is set aside 100% for Women-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 325998 with a size standard of 650 employees. The total estimated contract value is $4,200,000 over the five-year period, with individual calls under the BPA not to exceed $4.2 million. The Air Force estimates an annual requirement of 72 totes of 275 gallons each, totaling approximately 19,800 gallons of PreKote Blue per year. The government intends to award three to five agreements and will rotate calls among BPA holders or compete calls to ensure approximately equal dollar distribution among awardees. Performance will take place at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where the 76 Aircraft Maintenance Group will utilize the chemical for aircraft maintenance operations. Market research identified five small businesses that expressed willingness to participate: Automotive & Industrial Supply, IGCS, Wrigglesworth Enterprises, Tera Consulting, and Mono Machines.
