About this opportunity

This solicitation has been rescinded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as of October 6, 2025, but originally sought contractors for door and hardware replacement and installation services at seven openings at the Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center. The project involved replacing doors and hardware with associated accessibility and security features, including 1-3/4-inch hollow metal fire-rated doors with narrow lites, continuous hinges, exit devices, and automatic door operators from specified manufacturers. The contract was to be awarded on a lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) basis to firms that could demonstrate past performance on three commercial door projects valued at $100,000 or above within the last five years. Key dates included a site visit scheduled for October 8, 2025, questions due by October 16, 2025, and proposals originally due by October 23, 2025, all coordinated through the contracting officer Connie Houpt. The procurement was structured as a firm fixed price contract with strict requirements that proposals not take exception to terms or propose additional conditions.

This opportunity was designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 238350 (Finish Carpentry Contractors), with funding provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The estimated contract value ranged between $150,000 and $250,000, with work to be performed at the Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center located at 1850 S. Sigsbee Street, Indianapolis, IN 46241. The performance period was established as 30 calendar days after notice to proceed, with contractors required to begin work within 10 calendar days of award and provide both performance and payment bonds within 10 days of contract award. An addendum clarified that the 30-day completion timeline would commence only after all materials were available and ready for installation, addressing contractor concerns about hardware sourcing lead times averaging approximately 10 weeks. The work required coordination with FAA's access control contractor and adherence to specific working hours with FAA personnel escort, particularly for sensitive control room door installations.
