The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking qualified contractors to provide repair and replacement services for doors, door locks, deadbolts, panic exit devices, mullions, thresholds, door closers, catches, strikes, cores, keys, and ADA-compliant hardware across Joint Base San Antonio facilities. The scope encompasses interior and exterior lock installations and repairs on doors of varying construction materials (wood, metal, aluminum) and configurations (single or double doors), with locks and hardware potentially varying by manufacturer across facilities. Key contract requirements include employing only qualified personnel who have completed National Crime Information Center (NCIC) criminal background checks, maintaining normal business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday with emergency response capability outside these hours, providing a contract manager available within two hours during duty hours, furnishing all equipment and materials including commercial-grade locks subject to government approval, and maintaining comprehensive quality control and quality assurance systems. This is a Request for Information (RFI) and sources sought notice rather than a formal solicitation; responses are voluntary and not binding quotes. Interested contractors must submit their information addressing small business status, prior military customer experience, NAICS code verification (561622), and sourcing details via email to ernest.sutton@us.af.mil and laura.herring.2@us.af.mil by April 10, 2026 at 4:00 PM Central Standard Time.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to small business concerns as defined by the Small Business Administration. No incumbent contractor or award value is identified in this pre-solicitation notice, as this RFI is intended for market research purposes to identify qualified sources prior to formal solicitation. The contract will be structured as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with service calls issued as individual work orders, with a minimum five workdays' notice for standard calls and expedited response for emergency designations. Performance requirements for special order items and government-furnished materials shall not exceed seven days. The applicable NAICS code is 561622 (Locksmiths) with Product Service Code J053 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment-Hardware and Abrasives), indicating the technical classification of this work. A detailed price list and Performance Work Statement have been provided to inform potential respondents of the scope and cost structure associated with the anticipated contract.
