Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 910th Airlift Wing (AW) LGC at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, is soliciting proposals for the procurement and installation of Universal Weapons Racks in Vienna, OH. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5). Proposals are due March 31, 2026, at 10:30 AM Eastern.

Scope of Work

The designated contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, equipment, tools, appliances, transportation, and materials to install weapons racks. These racks must be sufficient to house 1,080 M4 rifles and 420 M18 pistols. The project requires the integration of federal guidelines and sustainable principles, including life-cycle cost-effectiveness practices. Architectural drawings detail the layout, dimensions, and storage unit capacities for a Base Supply Weapon Storage Vault at the 910th Airlift Wing.

Key Requirements & Changes (Amendment 0001)

Amendment 0001, posted March 6, 2026, modifies the original solicitation with the following key updates:

  • Physical Security: Cabinets must comply with DOD 5100-76.M physical security standards, and doors must be compatible with padlocks.
  • Dimensions: Maximum allowable cabinet height is 96 inches against a wall and 88 inches in other areas (for fire suppression clearance).
  • Weapon Storage: M4 rifles will be stored with top-mounted optics, eliminating the need for double spacing. Preferred storage orientation is buttstock down, though inverted is acceptable. Retainer cords for barrel saddles and individually adjustable barrel saddles are not strict requirements.
  • Ammunition/Magazines: No ammunition will be stored within the weapon racks; all magazines will be stored separately. Required magazine storage capacity is 1,469 M-18 magazines and 7,560 M-4 magazines.
  • Delivery Date: The requested delivery date for Line Item 0001 has been extended from April 15, 2026, to July 17, 2026.
