43d Air Mobility Squadron_ Request for Proposal_FA445226R0012_B753 Kitchen Renovation

This contract solicits commercial construction services for the renovation of the kitchen in Building 753 at Pope Army Airfield, North Carolina, under a full small business set-aside using NAICS code 236220, with a size standard of $45.0 million. The Government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price purchase order following a competitive process governed by Revolutionary FAR Overhaul provisions, specifically RFO 12.201-2 and Part 36, with all proposals evaluated under a trade-off approach that prioritizes technical merit over price. The statement of work requires comprehensive demolition, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and finish work to be completed within 30 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, conforming to UFC standards, Fort Bragg’s Installation Design Guide, NEC, and other federal and local regulations. Contractors must deliver as-built documentation, operational training materials, compliance reports, and ensure all equipment meets manufacturer and federal specifications. All work must adhere to strict AT/OPSEC protocols, and personnel must be U.S. citizens unless granted exception, with mandatory PIV access and antiterrorism training required for facility entry. The solicitations require proposals divided into three volumes: administrative, technical, and price, with strict formatting rules including Times New Roman 12-point font, no bold or italics, and a hard 10-page limit for the technical volume. The technical evaluation emphasizes methodology, schedule feasibility with risk mitigation, and viable alternatives that demonstrate efficiency or innovation without disclosing pricing, while the price evaluation focuses on completeness and reasonableness through market analysis. The contract incorporates a wide array of mandatory clauses including cybersecurity safeguards, prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, equal opportunity requirements, anti-trafficking measures, and restrictions on business with sanctioned foreign entities. Payment will be processed electronically via WAWF using the DoDAAC F87700, with accelerated payments to small business subcontractors required. All submissions must be emailed to designated government points of contact by 5 August 2026, with questions due by 30 July 2026. The award will not be based on lowest price but on best value determined by superior technical approach and reasonable cost, and no contract value is disclosed as pricing remains entirely offeror-submitted and uncompleted in the solicitation.
