AI Contract Overview
The Delaware Army National Guard is seeking a turnkey design-build solution through a Commercial Solutions Opening to furnish and install industrial-grade organizational storage at a new 3,600 square foot facility in Wilmington, Delaware. The project requires the procurement and installation of nine heavy-duty fixed selective pallet racking units supporting at least 1,600 lbs per level, five secure wire mesh partition cages for high-value equipment, and heavy-duty static boltless steel shelving. The solution must maintain an active operational aisle of at least 11 feet for electric reach trucks and adhere to strict safety and fire codes, including a minimum 18-inch clearance from sprinkler deflectors. This small business set-aside opportunity is evaluated based on technical merit, company expertise, and pricing, with a target award date of September 15, 2026, and a final completion deadline of December 17, 2026. The selected contractor must provide design calculations signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Delaware and ensure all installations comply with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria, OSHA, and state fire regulations. The final contract will be issued as a firm-fixed-price purchase order, and the contractor is responsible for all engineering, materials, labor, and the removal of all debris from the site.

Full Description
The Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), authorized under 10 USC 3458 as revised by the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act Section 1823) is not a Request for Quotations one would normally expect to see from federal Government contracting offices.
We (Delaware Army National Guard, also referred to as “the Government”) are seeking an optimal, innovative, commercially available solution to our problem set as stated in CSO Section 2.0 Problem Statement and Section 3.0 Desired System Attributes and Capabilities.
We do not have a particular floor layout nor pre-determined pallet rack design. Given the amount of equipment (displayed during the site visit) that we need to store on either pallet racks or in secure storage, we don’t need to maximize cube in this storage building. We are looking for an optimal solution based on technical merit, company expertise, and pricing, as indicated in the CSO.
The Section 4.0 Phase 1 Submission Process calls for, among other things, a recommended contract line item structure and preliminary pricing. Upon receipt and review of the proposed solutions and preliminary break-out by line item pricing, the Government will determine whether the construction portion of this project is substantial and segregable to rise to the level as to requiring a Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Wage Determination, consistent with RFO FAR Subpart 22.4 Labor Standards for Contracts Involving Construction. If applicable, the Wage Determination DE20260008 Mod #1, is the most likely wage determination to be provided to those vendor(s) invited to participate in Phase 2 Negotiation for purposes of negotiating a firm-fixed price FAR-based purchase order. Wage Determination DE20260008 Mod #1 is available at https://sam.gov/wage-determination/DE20260008/1
