Cannon AFB - Sources Sought Notice: Small Arms Firing Range (SAFR) Cleaning and Maintenance Services

This sources sought notice, issued by the Department of the Air Force’s 27th Special Operations Wing at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, seeks market research information from potential vendors regarding the provision of inspection, cleaning, and maintenance services for two Small Arms Firing Ranges (SAFR) operated by the 27th Special Operations Security Forces Squadron and the 26th Special Tactics Squadron. The notice is strictly for market research purposes and is not a solicitation for proposals or quotes, though respondents are requested to submit a capability statement of no more than ten pages that includes company information, CAGE code, Unique Entity ID (UEI), business size certification under NAICS code 562910, technical approach to meeting performance requirements—particularly concerning lead remediation and safety protocols—and a list of two to five relevant contracts completed within the last three years. Additionally, vendors must provide a non-binding rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate detailing costs for quarterly maintenance, labor rates, consumables such as PPE and cleaning agents, and mobilization expenses to Cannon AFB. The response deadline is 9 June 2026 at 3:00 PM Mountain Time, and submissions must be emailed to designated contracting personnel with a specified subject line format. The contract structure anticipates a base period with four one-year option periods, requiring quarterly service execution and comprehensive compliance with environmental, safety, and facility regulations. All work must adhere to environmentally approved cleaning solutions, with strict protocols governing hazardous material handling, waste disposal, and emergency response under Force Protection Condition requirements. Contractors must designate a Contract Manager with full authority and availability to communicate with the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative within two hours while onsite. This manager and alternate(s) must be proficient in English and their identities submitted before any on-site performance begins. Contractors are required to implement a Quality Control Plan approved by the Government, submit detailed performance reports including PMI Plans and Work Summaries within strict timeframes, and report all labor hours—including subcontractors—via SAM.gov by 31 October each year. Personnel must obtain and return base access credentials as directed, comply with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements, and adhere to the DAFFAR clause governing facility access. Performance metrics are defined with tight thresholds: no more than one discrepancy per service for each of four performance objectives covering cleaning, PMI, unscheduled repairs, and deliverables, with non-compliance leading to corrective action reports and progress meetings.
