About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command at F.E. Warren Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to lease 146 air cylinders for use at 15 Missile Alert Facilities and a Missile Facility Maintenance Shop. This sources sought notice is not a formal solicitation and will not result in immediate awards; rather, it is designed to gather information about available small business capabilities to inform future acquisition strategy. Respondents must demonstrate expertise, capabilities, and experience in providing air cylinders and associated valves, with compliance required for OSHA standards, Air Force Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) standards, and applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Interested parties should submit capability statements to Michelle Crenshaw (michelle.crenshaw@us.af.mil) and SSgt Rebecca Behne (rebecca.crenshaw@us.af.mil) that include company information, business classifications, and SAM registration details.

The procurement is not designated with a set-aside; however, the government is using NAICS code 332420 (Metal Tank Heavy Gauge Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees for market research purposes only to determine potential small business set-aside eligibility. The specific cylinder requirements include 144 AI-BR-K 250CF breathing air cylinders rated at 2265 PSI with CGA 346 valves, along with 1 NI-Q cylinder and 1 OX-S cylinder, both rated at 2015 PSI with CGA 580 and CGA 540 valves respectively. The contract will be structured as a lease agreement with one-year increments renewable up to five years, with contractor responsibility for delivery costs to Building 323 at F.E. Warren AFB and a hazard fee included in pricing. Cylinder repair and refill services will be procured separately from this BPA, and no incumbent contractor or award value range is identified in this market research phase.
