Sources Sought - Oil Water Separator Design/Install - Mountain Home AFB, ID

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is conducting market research to identify certified women-owned small businesses capable of designing, fabricating, and installing an Oil/Water Separator (OWS) system at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. The project requires the contractor to develop a comprehensive 300 GPM OWS system for aircraft maintenance wastewater treatment that achieves over 99% hydrocarbon removal efficiency while meeting EPA, DoD, and NPDES regulatory requirements. Key technical specifications include corrosion-resistant tank construction with internal epoxy coatings, Schedule 80 PVC/stainless steel piping, explosion-proof electrical enclosures, advanced sensor and automation controls, and comprehensive environmental and safety features. The contractor must complete the project in four phases: Pre-Construction Planning & Submittals, Site Preparation, System Installation, and Commissioning & Testing, with acceptance criteria requiring successful hydrostatic and compliance testing, full system integration without leaks, and operator training completion. Interested companies must submit responses by January 14, 2026, with each submission limited to a maximum of 3 pages and including company information, CAGE code, small business certification category, and detailed capability statements addressing the project's scope and complexity.

This contract opportunity is designated exclusively for Woman-Owned Small Businesses, with no incumbent contractor identified in the market research notice. The estimated project value falls between $100,000 and $250,000, representing a significant capital investment in environmental compliance infrastructure. The OWS system must be sized at 300 GPM capacity to handle wastewater flows from aircraft maintenance operations, and the contractor is responsible for providing comprehensive deliverables including "As-Built" drawings, operations and maintenance manuals, and operator training. The contractor must also offer a one-year no-limit commercial warranty on the installed system. It is important to note that this is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only and does not constitute an actual solicitation for proposals, meaning no contract will be awarded directly from this announcement and no reimbursement will be provided for response preparation costs.
