SAAF & MAAF Airfield Lighting

The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) is seeking a contractor to provide maintenance services and upgrades for airfield lighting systems at Simmons Army Airfield (SAAF) and Mackall Army Airfield (MAAF) located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The project involves comprehensive maintenance and potential enhancements to the existing Eaton Crouse-Hinds airfield lighting control and monitoring systems, with a focus on upgrading to an L-890 Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS). Interested contractors must demonstrate capabilities in electrical contracting and wiring installation services, with the government specifically encouraging participation from small business categories including 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns. A mandatory site visit is tentatively scheduled for 28 MAY 2025, with registration required by 09 MAY 2025, and potential contractors must submit detailed capability statements by 06 JUN 2025 at 5:00 PM EST. Evaluation will likely focus on technical expertise, previous experience with similar airfield lighting systems, and the ability to meet the specific performance requirements outlined in the draft Performance Work Statement.

The contract will be structured as a hybrid firm-fixed price contract with a base period and two option years, running from 01 December 2025 to 30 November 2028. There is no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, allowing both large and small businesses to compete. The NAICS code is 238210 with a size standard of $19 million, covering electrical contractors and wiring installation services. The project scope includes merging runway lighting controls, incorporating beacon control into the new system, and maintaining existing communication infrastructure using RS232 communications boxes on a fiber line. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the maintenance and upgrade services suggests a potentially significant contract value. Key technical requirements include upgrading the current lighting control systems, maintaining windcones (which will remain powered by 120V and operated continuously), and ensuring seamless integration of new monitoring and control technologies.
