Alaska Aerospace Corporation Corrosion Control Study

The Alaska Aerospace Corporation (AAC) is soliciting proposals under RFP AAC-26-001 for a comprehensive Corrosion Control Study of the Launch Tower at LP-1 and associated support equipment at the Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska in Kodiak, Alaska. The primary objective is to assess the material condition of all structural components using non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods to identify degradation and provide technical guidance for future maintenance and life-extension efforts. All NDE must be performed by technicians certified to ASNT Level II or higher, with corrosion categorization following ASTM D610 and remaining useful life estimates adhering to NACE/AMPP maritime standards. Key deliverables include an initial site memo, a draft corrosion assessment report, and a final formal engineering report. The project must be completed by September 30, 2026, with all on-site activities conducted at the PSCA facility. Proposals are evaluated based on overall value to AAC using a 105-point weighted system that prioritizes experience with FAA-licensed spaceport infrastructure, airport facilities, or heavy industrial marine environments. Offerors must hold a valid Alaska business license, and those meeting specific residency and business requirements may qualify for a 5-point Alaska Offeror Preference. The contract type is to be finalized between AAC and the awardee, though all travel must be handled as a cost-reimbursable CLIN. The response deadline has been extended to June 3, 2026, with questions accepted until May 28, 2026.
