Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, 14 CONS LGCA, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for a potential Firm-Fixed Price contract to replace AAS BAK-15 Controls in buildings B2001 and B2003 at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. This effort, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, seeks renovation and construction services to modernize the barrier control system. Responses are due by Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 3:00 PM CST.

Scope of Work

The objective is to modernize the existing BAK-15 barrier control system by replacing the outdated radio signal-controlled system with a new, modern fiber-controlled hard-wire system. Key tasks include:

Demolishing existing BAK-15 controls, boxes, and associated power services.
Furnishing and installing new disconnects, electric service, conduit, conductors, and equipment pads.
Installing a new programmable logic controller (PLC) compatible with existing mechanical components and sensors.
Installing a new battery backup and charger system.
Making final connections for the control system between the BAK-15, Runway Supervisory Units (RSUs), and the Air Control Tower.
Demolishing and repairing damage to control panels and radio components in the Air Control Tower and both RSUs, then installing new control panels with full functionality.
Performing all testing and verification to ensure the new system is fully operational, with barriers capable of raising in under 10 seconds and functioning without an internet connection.
Work may require after-hours performance and strict adherence to airfield waiver procedures, including a FOD control plan.
