Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 12th Maintenance Group and FA3016 502 CONS CL, is issuing a Special Notice for the T-7 Sunshade Shelters project at JBSA Randolph, TX. This is a Sole Source acquisition for the purchase, manufacture, and installation of new sunshades to support the initial deployment of T-7A aircraft. The project involves three new bays, one added to an existing row and two as a new standalone row, each sheltering two T-7A aircraft. The response date is April 28, 2026.

Scope of Work

The project requires the purchase, manufacture, construction, and installation of one row of four T-7A aircraft sunshades and one additional bay for two T-7A aircraft. These structures will provide weather protection for T-7A aircraft and aircrew from sun, heat, wind, rain, hail, snow, and ice. Key tasks include:

  • Providing all necessary manpower, equipment, materials, services, and transportation.
  • Installing aircraft taxi lanes and pavement markings, including painting new lines and removing old ones.
  • Providing electrical power (120-208V/400Hz and 480V/60Hz) to the shelters, including outlets and infrastructure.
  • Installing obstruction lighting, security lighting, and work lighting.
  • Ensuring structures withstand environmental conditions, including wind, rain, snow, and jet blast.
  • Installing bird netting.

Contract Details

  • Opportunity Type: Special Notice (Sole Source)
  • Agency: Department of the Air Force, 12th Maintenance Group
  • Place of Performance: JBSA Randolph, Texas (DWG, TX 78150)
  • Period of Performance: No later than 300 days after award.
  • Rationale for Sole Source: Justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to only one responsible source. Awarding to any other firm would violate the warranty of ongoing work and create unacceptable risk by requiring attachment to an existing structure under construction by the incumbent. The government is acquiring intellectual property and a complete technical data package to enable future full and open competition.
  • Estimated Value: Redacted.

Performance Standards & Special Requirements

  • Structures must meet specific design criteria for structural integrity, wind loads, and environmental resistance.
  • Lighting and electrical systems must comply with relevant codes and standards (IBC, UFC, NFPA).
  • Designs must be sealed and signed by a licensed engineer.
  • Materials must comply with CDRL #C250.
  • Coordination with local authorities for airfield access and utilities is required.
  • A warranty of at least one year (or manufacturer's, whichever is longer) is required for workmanship, structural/roofing materials, and hardware/installation.

Required Submittals

Bidders must be prepared to provide comprehensive submittals, including:

  • Operation and Maintenance Data and Manuals
  • Warranty information for equipment and materials
