Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice for the replacement of boiler vent piping at Building 205, Buckley Space Force Base (SFB), Aurora, CO. This requirement is set aside for Total Small Business. The purpose is to gather information from qualified vendors to determine the appropriate procurement method for a future solicitation.
