About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command is seeking a contractor to repair the Aircraft Fire Training Facility at Building 218 on Homestead Air Reserve Base in Florida. The comprehensive project involves demolishing existing deteriorated components and installing new infrastructure including a 2-story operator control tower with rehab room and restroom, a new aircraft mockup using cortin steel, concrete wet deck for scenario burns, stainless steel utility piping systems, electrical upgrades, and various structural improvements. Contractors must be certified by AFCEC/CXF or subcontract with an approved vendor for aircraft fire training facility work, and provide a bid guarantee equal to 20% of their proposed total price. The evaluation will use a best-value source selection approach focusing on three factors: lowest total evaluated price, technical acceptability across four subfactors (bid bonds, NIST compliance, schedule/methodology, and organization/key personnel), and past performance confidence rating based on recent relevant contract history. Following solicitation amendments, proposals are now due by June 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM EDT, with a mandatory site visit having occurred on May 16, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) with a size standard of $45 million. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the solicitation documents, though several construction firms attended the mandatory site visit including Waypoint Contracting, McKenzie Construction, DAC Action Construction, and others. The estimated contract value ranges between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with a single Contract Line Item Number (CLIN 0001) covering all required work. The project has an estimated performance period of 180 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with work scheduled to ensure the fire training facility remains operational during mandatory training periods in January and November. All work will be performed at Homestead Air Reserve Base in Miami-Dade County, Florida, with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage rates applying to the construction activities.
