About this opportunity
Air Combat Command, Department of the Air Force, seeks one unit of a rapidly deployable airfield matting system (Rapid Runway) for Tyndall Air Force Base, with quotes due August 31, 2026 at 2:00 PM local time. This is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 333998 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing) with a 700-employee size standard.
Place of performance is Tyndall AFB, Florida. The system must comprise 60 modular, rigid interlocking panels nominally 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 20 millimeters thick, assembled to form a stabilized operational surface capable of supporting gross aircraft weights up to 400,000 pounds. The system must deploy over weak and varied subgrades—dirt, mud, sand, and marshlands—without compromising structural integrity. The interlocking mechanism must resist torque from tight aircraft turns and prevent upward migration of mud, water, or sand through seams under heavy loads. The system must demonstrate environmental and chemical resistance to aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, and lubricants while remaining fully operational across extreme ambient temperature ranges.
Delivery is due within 30 calendar days of award, FOB Destination. Pricing must be Firm Fixed Price and include all transportation and delivery charges. Offerors submit Volume 1 (Price) and Volume 2 (Technical, not exceeding 7 pages). Award is on a best-value basis; the technical proposal is evaluated as either "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable," with price and technical capability considered. The government reserves the right to award based on what is most advantageous to itself, which may not be the lowest price. PSC code is 5680. The contracting officer is Tyler Smith (tyler.smith.113@us.af.mil, 850-283-8643). Funds are not presently available; award is contingent on appropriated funds becoming available.
Notice text
This is a request for quote (RFQ) for commercial products prepared in accordance with the streamlined simplified procedures in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 12.201-1, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.
Tyndall Air Force Base (TAFB) requires a rapidly deployable airfield matting solution to support dynamic flight operations across
austere and varied terrains. The installation routinely hosts a wide range of aircraft, including high-performance fighters (F-35,
F-16), E-9s, heavy cargo lifters (C-17), and transient commercial units. However, operational expansion and expeditionary
exercises are often constrained by weak subgrades in the surrounding environment, such as loose dirt, mud, sand, and
marshlands. To ensure continuous mission readiness and safe aircraft operations in these challenging conditions, TAFB requires
an expeditionary "rapid runway" system. This system will provide a stabilized, high-load-bearing surface capable of supporting
up to 400,000 lbs, enabling personnel to quickly establish, repair, or expand operational runways and taxiways as mission
demands dictate.
Please refer to the attached Statement of Work (SOW) and RFQ for detailed requirement description, instructions for submission, and method of evaluation.
