About this opportunity

The Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential contractors capable of providing transformer disposal services. The procurement involves the decommissioning and removal of 37 transformers ranging from 45 to 2,000 kVA ratings, with requirements including electrical demolition, PCB testing by ELAP-accredited laboratories, and proper disposal at pre-approved off-site facilities. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and provide capability statements demonstrating experience with similar government or commercial contracts. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract under NAICS code 334416 with a small business size standard of 550 employees. Interested vendors must submit responses by July 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time to Abel Alcantar and Falilou "Sam" Diouck at the Air Force Test Center. Responses should be limited to 10 double-spaced pages in Microsoft Word format and include business size status, CAGE/DUNS codes, and relevant contract experience.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and is open to both large and small businesses. The Statement of Requirements specifies 22 transformers with detailed specifications ranging from 112.5 kVA to 2,000 kVA, all requiring 5 or 15 kV primary and 277/480 V secondary configurations. The contract includes 25 priced line items covering OSHA testing, electrical work, transportation, loading/unloading, PCB testing, and disposal logistics. Environmental compliance is mandatory, with all transformers requiring PCB testing and disposal documentation through complete manifest records. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the documentation, though the government indicates this market research will inform their acquisition strategy development process. The project encompasses comprehensive electrical demolition, removal support, wire and conduit termination, and transformer assessment and evaluation services.
