Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, AZ, has issued a Presolicitation Notice for the design, construction, and installation of a new corrosion control facility, including a large component bead blast booth. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. While no responses are required at this time, a formal Solicitation Notice is anticipated to follow.
Opportunity Details
This requirement is for a complete, turn-key corrosion control facility at AMARG, located within a controlled area of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (DMAFB), Arizona. The facility's primary function will be the corrosion control of Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) and other ferrous related items. The media blast booth will be housed within a fully enclosed Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) that also includes a separated maintenance support operations area. The entire facility will be constructed on a currently unimproved site in Tucson, AZ.
Scope of Work
The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines a comprehensive requirement:
- Site Investigation and Design Development: Contractor to perform all necessary investigations (geotechnical, utility, environmental, topographical) and develop a complete, PE-certified design package.
- Plastic Media Blast Booth: Furnish, install, and commission a complete, stand-alone system sized for various AGE, including a full floor media recovery system and dust collection.
- Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB): Design, furnish, and erect a permanent, weather-tight metal building to house the blast booth and a separated MX Ops Area.
- Utilities and Site Work: Identify, design, and construct all supporting utility infrastructure (electrical, water, sanitary sewer) and site work (foundations, grading, drainage, paving).
Performance & Special Requirements
The facility must comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and DoD guidance, including UFC, AFI, and NFPA codes. Specific performance criteria apply to the PEMB (structural, thermal, aesthetic) and the blast booth systems (airflow, dust collection, media recovery, cascading pressure differential).
- COTS Preference: Design should prioritize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or modified-COTS solutions.
- Cybersecurity: Control systems must meet Authority to Operate (ATO) requirements.
- Future Expansion: PEMB design must allow for future expansion.
- Safety: Compliance with Air Force and OSHA standards is mandatory.
- Warranty: Comprehensive warranties for the facility and PEMB are required.
