About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified firms capable of providing Christmas decor and lighting installation services. This market survey seeks contractors who can install government-owned Christmas decorations on 30 streetlight poles and decorate a 35-foot main tree near the Base Exchange parking lot, requiring specialized equipment including boom/scissor lifts or bucket trucks. The contractor must provide all management, labor, equipment, transportation, and supervision while coordinating with base personnel and adhering to security policies. The government requests company information including UEI number, CAGE code, contact details, relevant experience descriptions, and business size classification with socioeconomic status. Interested parties must submit their responses by September 26, 2025, though this is strictly an information-gathering exercise with no contract award anticipated from this notice.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors). The installation work is scheduled to occur in December 2025 with specific dates to be provided two months in advance, followed by decoration removal during the first week of January 2026. Key technical requirements include installing waterproof electrical connections, setting up a wired or wireless on/off button system for the lighting ceremony controlled by the 412th Test Wing General, and transitioning to photocell control after the ceremony. The contractor must perform a mandatory site walk before project execution and complete all work at Edwards AFB, California. No incumbent contractor information or budget estimates are provided in this pre-solicitation notice, as the government emphasizes this is purely a market research effort with no reimbursement for response costs.
