The 7th Contracting Squadron, Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, is conducting market research to identify small business concerns capable of performing a Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with responses due by May 31, 2026, at 8:00 PM CST. This requirement is contemplated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, inclusive of 8(a), WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, and HUBZone firms.
The SABER is a Firm-Fixed-Price single-award IDIQ for design-build and minor construction projects executed via individual Task Orders. Work encompasses maintenance, repair, and construction across multiple trades at Dyess AFB, Texas. The Government contemplates a one-year base period with four option years, though the sources-sought notice does not obligate a subsequent contract award and is for market research and planning only.
In-house design capability or ready access to registered and licensed engineers and architects is required for projects involving alteration and repair to existing infrastructure. Work will be priced using RS MEANS Computerized Pricing Guides multiplied by a contractor-provided coefficient. The contractor must be fully operational within 30 days of award, maintain a Quality Control Plan with a designated CQC System Manager certified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, comply with Dyess Installation Facilities Standards and applicable building codes, and meet DoD security constraints in restricted areas, including cybersecurity restrictions prohibiting unauthorized connections to Air Force networks. A separate Market Research Questionnaire with a May 23, 2026, deadline at 9:00 AM CST requests technical and capability feedback. Points of contact are TSgt Marshal Khinno and Traci Hughes.
