This solicitation, identified as FA462026QA210, is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract for a comprehensive Cross-Connection Survey at Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington, set aside entirely for small businesses under NAICS code 541620. The work requires a detailed physical inspection of the entire potable water system to identify actual or potential cross-connections and evaluate the installation, condition, and compliance of backflow prevention devices, with functional testing and water quality sampling explicitly excluded. Deliverables include a preliminary survey report within 45 days of completion and a final report within 90 days containing an executive summary, deficiency listings with risk assessments, compliance evaluations, annotated water system maps, corrective action recommendations with cost estimates, completed AF Form 848, and supporting documentation in editable electronic formats. Performance is scheduled from July 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026, with all work to be performed on-site at Fairchild AFB, and delivery and acceptance occurring at the destination. Offers must be submitted electronically via email to specified contracting officers and specialists, with file submissions limited to 10 MB and prohibited from being compressed in ZIP format. The evaluation will follow a best-value trade-off approach, weighing the offeror’s Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) risk profile—covering item, price, and supplier risk—against proposed pricing, without using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology. Contract administration is managed through WAWF using specific DoDAAC codes, and offerors must have active SAM registration, including valid UEI and CAGE codes, with current size status certification.
