RFP 26. 140100-001-016 Upgrade Remote Air Room

The Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 26.140100-001-016 for a critical infrastructure upgrade project located on Wallops Island in Accomack County, Virginia. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to design and install two Greenheck (or equivalent) Inlet Air fans and damper assemblies for the Remote Air Room on Pad 0A. The project requires technical expertise in commercial space facility infrastructure modification, with a focus on precise fan and damper system integration. The solicitation was posted on December 9, 2025, with proposals due by January 6, 2026, providing potential bidders approximately 28 days to prepare and submit comprehensive technical and cost proposals. Prospective vendors must demonstrate capability in HVAC system design, installation, and integration specific to aerospace facility requirements, with expected deliverables including detailed engineering plans, system specifications, installation documentation, and post-installation performance verification.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the specialized nature of the project suggests a high probability of requiring advanced technical qualifications and potentially security clearances. The project is located within a critical aerospace infrastructure zone, which might imply additional vetting requirements for contractors. The procurement appears focused on technical capability rather than specific enterprise designations. The scope suggests a specialized project that may require significant engineering and technical infrastructure knowledge, potentially limiting the pool of qualified responders. Although no specific budget range is provided, commercial space facility infrastructure upgrades typically represent substantial investments, potentially ranging from $250,000 to $750,000 depending on the complexity of the fan and damper system installation and associated engineering requirements.
