AVB Barrier Assessment

This solicitation, numbered W50S77-26-Q-0012, is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial services under FAR Subpart 12.6, seeking firm-fixed-price quotes for Aviation Barrier (AVB) assessment services to evaluate the operational status of six existing wedge barriers located at 14657 Sneider St, Houston, TX. The requirement is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 561621, with a size standard of $25 million in annual revenue, and all offerors must be certified as small businesses in SAM. The contractor is tasked with troubleshooting, testing, and assessing the electrical and hydraulic systems of the barriers to determine whether individual components or the entire system require replacement, including hooking up temporary lines, conducting physical tests to verify full deployment and retraction within 60 seconds, inspecting for corrosion damage, and restoring the barriers to their original inert state. A comprehensive written report detailing test criteria, results, and repair recommendations must be submitted upon completion. Performance must initiate within 30 days of award, and the contractor is required to comply with all local security protocols, including background checks and personal identity verification for access to the government installation. The solicitation incorporates applicable FAR and DFARS clauses effective through FAC 2026-01 and DPN20251011, including mandatory provisions for business ethics, prohibition of certain security-related services, service labor standards, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and electronic invoicing through WAWF. Payment requests must follow WAWF guidelines, using specified DODAAC codes for pay, issue, admin, inspect, and service functions. The contract includes clauses requiring a quality control program under FAR 52.246-4, with government observation of contractor testing to ensure performance meets specified thresholds. Safety is paramount, with contractors obligated to develop a safety plan, protect government property, report incidents within one hour, and flow down safety requirements to subcontractors. The evaluation will be based on technical capability and total price, with no evaluation of past performance as this is under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and involves commercial items. Quotes must be submitted to both primary and secondary points of contact by the revised deadline of 5 August 2026, 2:00 PM CST, and must reference any amendments issued. All offerors must maintain current representations and certifications in SAM, including compliance with FAR
