F-22 Wash and Corrosion Control

This market research effort seeks information from small business vendors capable of providing comprehensive aircraft wash and corrosion prevention services for F-22 aircraft at Langley Air Force Base. The scope includes managing all aspects of aircraft maintenance such as towing, external cleaning, lubrication of landing gear, waxing canopy transparency, and ensuring safety and quality standards are met. The contractor must supply trained personnel, appropriate tools, equipment, and materials, with a focus on working within controlled flight line environments and using government-approved substances suitable for low-observable surfaces. The government emphasizes that responses are for planning purposes only and do not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of future contracts. Interested vendors are asked to submit a capabilities statement outlining their relevant experience, staffing capabilities, facility clearances, and familiarity with fighter or stealth aircraft maintenance. They should also indicate their interest in future proposals, suggest contract types, and provide recommendations for performance metrics and risk mitigation strategies. The deadline for responses is August 15, 2025, and submissions must be sent via email to designated points of contact. This effort is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 488190, with the goal of informing the Department of the Air Force’s acquisition strategy for potential future contracting opportunities.
