Aviation Mobile Offices

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is conducting a Request for Qualifications and Quotations (RFQQ 25-24) to procure Aviation Mobile Offices for six air operations bases across Washington State, including locations in Yakima, Richland, Pangborn, Olympia, Omak, and Chewelah. The procurement seeks mobile office trailers ranging from 8'-10' x 20'-30' for four locations and 12' x 56'-60' for two locations, which will serve as office spaces, pilot and crew ready rooms, and sleeping quarters. Each mobile office must include specific technical requirements such as air conditioning/heat systems, electrical outlets, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, lighting, security features, and utility connections. The evaluation criteria for this procurement will be comprehensive, with 40 points allocated to the management proposal and 60 points to the cost proposal. Additional preference points are available for veteran-owned businesses (10 points), small businesses (10 points), and worker's rights compliance (5 points). The solicitation was posted on January 31, 2025, with proposals due by February 21, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time, and the initial contract term will run from March 14, 2025, to March 13, 2026, with potential extensions for up to four additional one-year periods.

The DNR intends to award one contract per air operations base, potentially resulting in six separate contracts. Bidders must be licensed to do business in Washington State, with specific emphasis on supporting diverse business enterprises through the scoring system. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the procurement includes provisions for preferential treatment of veteran-owned and small businesses. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, but the multi-site approach suggests a significant total procurement value. Potential respondents will need to demonstrate technical capability to provide mobile offices that meet stringent specifications across diverse geographical locations in Washington State. Electrical infrastructure requirements include service boxes with wiring runs not exceeding 100 feet, and bidders should be prepared to provide mobile offices that can integrate with existing utility connections at the designated air operations bases.
