About this opportunity
The 49th Contracting Squadron at Holloman Air Force Base, Air Combat Command, is soliciting proposals for Vertical Transportation Equipment maintenance, repair, and inspection services, with proposals due November 12, 2026. The procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside.
Services are performed on-site at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, covering fifteen VTE units listed in PWS Appendix A, with the decommissioned unit excluded. The work is full maintenance at a fixed monthly price. Alterations, vandalism damage, and cosmetic interior cleaning fall under a separate Over and Above CLIN, which offerors must not price and which is funded as needed. The base period runs December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027, with four one-year options through November 30, 2031, on a firm fixed-price basis.
Distinctive requirements include a Qualified Elevator Inspector certified under ASME QEI-1 performing inspections per ASME A17.1 Appendix N, and compliance with ASME A17.1, NFPA standards, UFC 3-600-01, OSHA, and original equipment manufacturer specifications. The Government has designated VTE services essential under DoDI 1100.22 and DFARS 252.237-7023, so proposals must include a written Mission-Essential Contractor Service Plan. Base access requires NCIC-based background checks, with Visit Access Request forms submitted at least 3-5 business days before access. Performance objectives are 90% VTE availability, 96% on-time routine response within two work days, and 100% on-time emergency response within one work day. Standard work hours are 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday.
Award goes to the lowest-priced offeror that passes eight technical subfactors and two pricing elements. The wage determination sets an Elevator Repairer base rate of $55.72 per hour, plus fringe benefits. The notice combines a Presolicitation Notice with this solicitation. Points of contact are Contracting Officer Ms. Sally D. Roberts and Contract Specialist Alex Coulombe. NAICS is 561210 and PSC is J039.
