W50S98-25-Q-0019 TEC Drapes

The Tennessee Air National Guard, Headquarters 134th Air Refueling Wing, issued solicitation W50S98-25-Q-0019 for replacement panel window drapes for Building 416 at McGhee Tyson ANG Base. The procurement requires seven custom drapes in Liberty Blue color with white LumiStop lining designed to reduce heat and sunlight, constructed with fire-retardant materials and specific technical requirements including 12-inch on-center pleating, 2-inch side hems, and weighted bottom hems using continuous steel weight tape. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price commercial item acquisition with quotes originally due by August 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. Evaluation criteria focus on price and past performance, with the government intending to award without discussions but reserving the right to conduct them if necessary. Quotes were required to remain valid through November 30, 2025, and include shipping prices while being net of tax.

This opportunity was designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 314120 (Curtain and Linen Mills) with a size standard of 750 employees. The specific quantities include five drapes measuring 9 feet 3 inches by 12 feet 3 inches, one drape at 9 feet 3 inches by 10 feet, and one drape at 9 feet 3 inches by 5 feet 3 inches. The place of performance is Louisville, Tennessee 37777, specifically for the Training and Education Center facility. The contractor would be responsible for shipping, installation, and site cleanup as part of the deliverables. However, the solicitation notice indicates that this procurement ultimately did not result in a contract award, as the low offer came in under the Government Purchase Card limit, prompting the agency to make a direct GPC purchase instead.
