About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing restaurant equipment with installation and construction services for a new dining facility at Tinker Air Force Base. This sources sought notice seeks contractors to supply front and back of house equipment for what appears to be a comprehensive restaurant operation as part of an effort to enhance and expand dining services at the base. Interested vendors must submit a five-page capability statement that includes a completed Past Performance Questionnaire demonstrating recent experience with at least three similar projects completed within the past three years, along with three references including contact information. The government will evaluate responses based on vendors' qualifications and capacity to perform work similar in size, scope, type, and complexity to the proposed project. All capability statements must be submitted electronically by 4:00 pm Central Daylight Time on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, to Nicholas Gamero at nicholas.gamero@us.af.mil with the subject line "Tinker AFB Cafe Equipment Project Sources Sought Response."
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the notice. The project value is expected to range between $500,000 and $1,000,000 for the construction elements, representing a firm-fixed price Food, Furniture, and Equipment procurement with installation components. Vendors must demonstrate experience with projects of similar financial scope to be considered qualified for the anticipated solicitation. The government plans to issue the formal solicitation around early July 2025, following completion of this market research phase. Only vendors who meet the specified requirements and submit complete responses may be invited to participate in the subsequent bidding opportunity, and the government emphasizes that this sources sought process is strictly for planning and informational purposes with no payment obligation for submitted information.
