Tinker Air Force Base is soliciting bids on a Total Small Business Set-Aside for repair and replacement of catwalks with Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Guards installation above the F-135 Shop at Post S-57, Building 3001, with proposals due May 28, 2026. This is a design-build engagement under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), meaning the awardee furnishes all design/engineering services, materials, labor, equipment, testing, quality control, and incidentals.

The scope requires a contractor-led site investigation to verify existing conditions, design submissions at 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% completion (with Government review cycles of 7 to 21 calendar days each), and construction execution during normal duty hours (0700–1600 Monday–Friday) at no additional cost. The facility remains occupied; the contractor must coordinate access and storage with Government personnel. All work must comply with UFC building codes, OSHA, EM 385-1-1 safety standards, and Tinker AFB facility specifications. Environmental surveys show no asbestos or lead-based paint concerns in work areas, though testing for asbestos and chromium is required if grinding disturbs painted surfaces.

Key personnel requirements include a Project Manager with ten years combined experience, a Design Project Manager licensed as PE or RA with ten years project management experience (five in design-build), a Quality Control Manager, Site Safety and Health Officer, and Project Superintendent.

The facility is a controlled area requiring visitor badges and escort procedures. No Government-furnished property, O&M manuals, or training are included.
