FA466426Q0005 - KC-46 Two Bay Hangar Waste Pile Site

The contract involves the assessment and evaluation of a site uncovered during construction at March Air Reserve Base related to the KC-46 Beddown Project, specifically involving the building of a two-bay hangar. During excavation, debris dating back to 1941-1942 was discovered, indicating the possible presence of historic properties as defined by the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA requires a thorough investigation to determine if the construction has adverse effects on these properties. This includes expert evaluation of the debris for eligibility on the National Register of Historic Places, cataloging artifacts, and defining the extent of the debris field, which spans an excavation area roughly 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep and up to 150 feet long. The solicitation is issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the 452d Air Mobility Wing at March ARB in California, with a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541620. The contract was posted on May 21, 2026, with responses due by May 29, 2026. The point of contact for this opportunity is Joshua Davidson, reachable via email and phone. The project requires careful archaeological expertise to ensure regulatory compliance and the protection of potentially significant historic resources impacted by ongoing construction activities.
