Al Deid - Refrigeration and Ice Machine Maintenance

The 379th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron is conducting market research through a sources sought announcement for refrigeration and ice machine maintenance services at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, under solicitation number AD-01. This announcement is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, request for quote, or binding commitment by the government. Respondents are invited to voluntarily provide information regarding their interest, relevant experience, ability to provide a quote, and any clarifying questions about the draft Performance Work Statement and attached equipment listing, which includes details on refrigeration units by brand, model, serial number, and location. All responses must be submitted via email to SSgt Brandon Biggerstaff no later than 1400 local time on 16 May 2026, and must include a capability statement. The work requires scheduled monthly maintenance during Saturday through Thursday, 0700–1800, with emergency service within 24 hours, use of only original equipment manufacturer parts, one-year warranties on repairs, and timely submission of itemized estimates. The contract will be performed entirely on-site at designated locations across the base. Performance will be subject to stringent security and operational requirements due to the mission-critical nature of the facilities, including mandatory escorting of all contractor personnel, use of government-issued photo identification badges displaying “Contractor,” submission of employee lists with full names and social security numbers, validation of security clearances, and compliance with contingency planning under DFARS [phone hidden], as services are designated mission essential. Contractor vehicles and entry procedures must align with local and installation regulations, and all personnel are subject to search upon entry or exit. The NAICS code is 811310 for repair and maintenance of refrigeration and ice machines, with no set-aside applied. No formal contract value, pricing structure, evaluation factors, or award basis have been established, as this stage is purely pre-solicitation. The contracting officer’s representative and payment details will be determined and communicated only upon award, and invoicing will be administered through government procurement systems following the final selection. No packaging, marking, or inspection standards beyond manufacturer specifications and operational safety requirements are currently defined.
