AI Contract Overview
The solicitation FA4877-26-Q-A176 is a sources-sought notice issued by the Department of Defense for the repair of a Quincy QGV100 air compressor with serial number UTY303835 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. This is not a request for quote and no award will be made from this notice; it is intended solely to gather market information regarding capable vendors who can provide repair services using OEM parts and factory-certified technicians. The required work includes diagnosing and replacing a failed Variable Speed Drive module, performing on-site calibration and operational testing, and delivering a fully functional unit with a five-year warranty covering parts and labor. All contractors must comply with strict access protocols including REAL ID Act compliance for unescorted base entry, adherence to DMAFB traffic and safety regulations, submission of required environmental permits, and prohibition of weapons or ammunition on base. The North American Industry Classification System code is 811310 with a small business size standard of $12.5 million, and the acquisition is targeted as a total small business set-aside. Contractors interested in participating must respond via email to the designated point of contact with their company name, CAGE code, confirmation of capability and interest in the requirement, disclosure of prior government experience, and written attestation that they are an authorized Quincy service provider utilizing factory-certified technicians and genuine OEM components. Additional requirements include compliance with the elimination of Class I ozone-depleting substances, adherence to official base hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the responsibility for all waste disposal and environmental compliance. While no formal pricing, CLIN structure, or delivery schedule is requested at this stage, the government has indicated that future solicitations will prioritize vendors capable of rapid mobilization, clear timelines, and mission-critical reliability due to the compressor's essential role in support of the 306th Rescue Squadron. Any future procurement will build upon the findings from this initial market survey.

52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Deviation) (Feb 2026)
- (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:
- Technical: Capability of the service and acceptable equipment quoted to meet the Government requirement; in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. Contractor shall attach adequate supporting documentation so that the government is able to evaluate the capabilities of the vendor.
- Schedule: The Government will evaluate the contractor's proposed delivery schedule, parts lead time, and on-site mobilization timeline. Due to the mission-critical nature of the air compressor to the 306 RQS, a shorter, more reliable timeline from contract award to full operational turnover is highly advantageous. Quotes that fail to provide a definitive schedule or present an unrealistic timeline may be deemed technically unacceptable.
- Price;

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the quote’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

5352.201-9101 ACC Ombudsman (Oct 2019)
- An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from quoters, potential quoters, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official.

The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.
- Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution.

- If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Deputy Director of Contracting, AFICC /KC (OL-ACC), 114 Thompson Street, Bldg 586, Room 129, Langley AFB, VA 23665, telephone (757) 764-5372 (DSN 574-5372) email: acc. a7k1@us.af.mil.

(End of Clause)
Real ID Requirement.
Beginning May 7, 2025, Davis Monthan Air Force Base will require all visitors seeking base access to possess a REAL ID in accordance with the REAL ID Act of 2005 and DoD Manual 5200.08 Vol 3, Physical Security Program: Access: to DoD Installations.
Federal installations, including Davis-Monthan AFB, will no longer accept non-marked state-issued identification cards after May 6, 2025. As mandated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), state-issued licenses and identification cards must include a REAL ID-compliant marking–star markings, “Enhanced” verbiage, etc.—indicating adherence to federal standards. Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDLs) issued by Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York and Vermont are also acceptable
for federal purposes.
Although most EDLs do not contain the REAL ID star marking, they meet DHS criteria for access.To obtain a REAL ID, individuals must visit their state’s driver licensing agency website for documentation requirements. At a minimum, applicants must provide proof of full legal name, date of birth, Social Security number, two proofs of address and lawful status. States may impose additional requirements. Minors under 18 years of age are not required to present REAL ID-compliant credentials for travel or base access, but their accompanying adult must be compliant.
Individuals issued a “LIMITED-TERM” REAL ID—commonly non-citizens with documentation such as a Permanent Resident Card, visa, or employment authorization—must present the same documentation when requesting access to DMAFB.
Common REAL ID-compliant credentials include U.S. passports, permanent resident cards and other identification approved under DODM5200.08v3. Current Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) badges are not impacted by this change. However, new or replacement DBIDS badges will only be issued upon presentation of REAL ID-compliant credentials. When screening visitors for DBIDS Contractor Badges and EAL sponsorship visitation requests, it is the direct responsibility of the DoD-affiliated sponsor to verify that the personnel they are requesting badging or visitation for are REAL ID compliant. For DBIDS contractors, Visitor Control Center badging personnel will confirm contractors’ REAL ID compliance when they come to receive their DBIDS badge. Security Forces personnel will verify visitors’ driver’s licenses and identification cards to ensure REAL ID compliance is met. Non-compliance will result in immediate denial to the installation until REAL ID compliance is met. Security Forces entry controllers will verify REAL ID compliance of visitors when verifying their credentials with Entry Authorization Lists. Non-compliance will result in immediate denial to the installation until REAL ID compliance is met.
For more information on REAL ID compliance and requirements, visit www.dhs.gov/real-id. For questions regarding access to Davis-Monthan AFB, contact the 355th Security Forces Squadron Pass and Badge Office at 520-228-3224.
