About this opportunity
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is conducting market research for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Annual Testing services, specifically for MSA G1 Masks, Facepieces, Packs, and Escape Packs. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking potential contractors under NAICS Code 541990 to perform annual testing of breathing equipment in compliance with CFR 1910.134 and NFPA 1852 standards. Interested firms are required to submit a capabilities package that details their business size, status, teaming arrangements, and past performance, including three references with current contact information. The evaluation will focus on companies' ability to provide comprehensive management and labor for the required services, with a strong emphasis on demonstrating relevant experience. Responses must be submitted by April 1, 2025, and are limited to a maximum of 5 pages.
No specific set-aside designation has been established for this opportunity, though the government is actively collecting information about potential small business participants. The market research aims to determine interest and capabilities across various socio-economic business categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned small businesses. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the solicitation indicates that contractors must provide all management and labor for SCBA testing services. Contractors will be expected to utilize testing equipment that meets specific requirements outlined in NFPA 1852 sections 7.5.5 and 7.5.6, with testing to be conducted at least annually. The government will use the submitted information to make decisions about potential small business set-asides for the final procurement.
