About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force 460th Contracting Squadron at Buckley Space Force Base is seeking contractors capable of providing Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) of the Cooling Water Piping in Buildings 430, 433, and 435. The government is concerned about internal corrosion in the pipes, which has resulted in metal rust flakes being found in the cooling towers, chillers, and generators. Contractors must have NDT Level II or III certifications to perform the UTT, which will involve visual inspections and scans around the full pipe circumference at various locations. Responses to the Sources Sought are due by 10 AM MDT on June 17, 2024 and should include questions, concerns, considerations, projected quotes, company information, and CAGE code/UEID.
This opportunity is not set-aside, and there are no incumbent contractors noted. The government has not provided any information on award values or budget ranges. The PWS specifies that the work must be performed during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and Air Force family days, and that the contractor must obtain appropriate base access for personnel and vehicles.
Notice text
This is an official Sources Sought.
A requirement exists for a survey of Building 430, 433, and 435 Cooling Water Piping at Space Base Delta 2. Large amounts of metal rust flakes have been found lodged in Cooling Towers, Chillers, and Generators that support these buildings. This is indicative of pipe wall thinning brought on by heavy internal corrosion.
The U.S. Air Force 460th Contracting Squadron at Buckley SFB, CO is posting this Sources Sought to find potential vendors capable of providing Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) for Cooling Water Pipes.
The government is searching the market for contractors capable of providing Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) in a timely manner. This must be done without shutting off the water. What certifications are required for a contractor to conduct UTT? how long does UTT take? What are the risks? Are there other, less risky forms of testing the pipes? Has the government overlooked anything for this requirement in the attached DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS)?
