Sources Sought - Paving Equipment Rental and Asphalt Delivery - Niagara Falls ARS

The 914th Contracting Office at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station (NFARS) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought Inquiry to identify potential vendors capable of providing hot asphalt mix and short-term rental of paving equipment. This pre-solicitation notice is open to all business types, including small businesses, and is being managed by the Department of the Air Force Reserve Command. Contractors must submit company information including name, address, CAGE code, DUNS number, and NAICS code to demonstrate capability and eligibility. The RFI is for informational and planning purposes only with no current funds available, and responses must be submitted via email to matthew.crum.9@us.af.mil by the December 12, 2025 closing date. This inquiry does not constitute a formal solicitation and does not guarantee that a future contract will be awarded or that respondents will be considered for subsequent procurement actions. The anticipated NAICS code is 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19.0 million in average annual receipts.

The procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractor information has been identified. The anticipated material requirements include 760 tons of Top Course asphalt, 1,375 tons of Binder Course asphalt, and 1,000 tons of Base Course asphalt, with delivery anticipated in early July/August 2026. The government also seeks rental of various paving equipment—including dump trucks, water trucks, rollers, loaders, and other specialized machinery—for a 60-day period. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this sources sought notice. While the exact timeline and award value remain undetermined, this RFI represents an early market research effort to assess vendor capabilities and availability for what may eventually become a formal solicitation in 2026.
