Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research and pre-solicitation activities for Base Operations Support (BOS) Acquisitions in Türkiye and Spain. This effort will result in two separate Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for BOS services at Incirlik Air Base, Türkiye (T-BOS) and Morón Air Base, Spain (S-BOS). The Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated for release on or around June 1, 2026. This is a Sources Sought notice; no set-aside has been specified yet.

Scope of Work

The acquisition will provide comprehensive BOS services for United States Air Forces in Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA). Based on market research, the Government has decided to separate the combined requirement into two distinct contracts. The T-BOS requirement has been reduced, removing Full Food Services/Dining Hall, Custodial/Housekeeping, Grounds Maintenance/Landscaping, Golf Course Maintenance, and Refuse Services at Ankara Support Facility, which will transition to local service providers. The scope covers a broad range of services including Program Management, Civil Engineering, Communications, Force Support, Logistics, Safety, Medical Maintenance, Administrative Services, and Transient Alert.

Contract Details

Both T-BOS and S-BOS contracts are envisioned as IDIQ vehicles, primarily with Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for core functions, supplemented by Cost-Reimbursable (CR) CLINs for materials, travel, and unscheduled work.

  • S-BOS (Spain): Anticipated 3-year base + 4x 12-month options (total 7.5 years, including 6-month extension clause). Contractors must inherit the incumbent workforce and negotiate company-level Collective Labor Agreements (CLAs), factoring in mandatory wage increases and comprehensive fringe benefits.
  • T-BOS (Türkiye): Anticipated 3-year base + 2x 12-month options (total 5.5 years, including 6-month extension clause). Due to unique economic risks (hyper-inflation, currency volatility), the Government has developed a "Combined Labor and Currency Clause" (C-LAC) to share risk, which will be included in the contract. The successor contractor must inherit the incumbent workforce and adhere to a multi-employer CLA with semi-annual wage increases tied to the Türkiye-wide General Consumer Price Index.

Acquisition Timeline

  • RFP Issuance: Anticipated on or around June 1, 2026.
  • Türkiye Site Visit: Rescheduled to May 20-21, 2026 at Incirlik Air Base. Registration is closed.
  • Spain Site Visit: Held on April 15, 2026 at Morón Air Base.
  • Proposal Due Date: Projected for August 1, 2026 (minimum 60 days after RFP release).
  • Contract Award: As soon as practicable in Calendar Year 2027.
  • Full Performance Start: No later than January 28, 2028.

Evaluation Factors (Draft for Spain BOS)

Award will be based on a Best Value Tradeoff process.

  • Past Performance: Evaluated as Acceptable/Unacceptable (or Pass/Fail), requiring 2-5 recent and relevant contracts ($20M+ annual value, OCONUS BOS experience).
  • Technical: Significantly More Important than Price, rated Outstanding to Unacceptable. Subfactors include Program Leadership/Staffing & Continuity (Staffing Plan, Phase-In Plan, Key Personnel Continuity Plan, Union Labor Management Plan for Spain) and Performance Oversight & Technology.
  • Price: Considered after technical and past performance evaluations, assessed for fairness and reasonableness.
  • Key Personnel Liquidated Damages: A draft H-Clause proposes $500.00 per calendar day for Key Personnel vacancies not filled within 60 days.

Action Items / Important Notes

Potential offerors should continue to monitor SAM.gov for all future updates. Access to draft documents (C-LAC, CLAs, Workload Estimates, Social Security Overviews, Base Maps) requires a formal request via SAM.gov, confirming authorization to receive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and safeguarding capability.
