Facility Support Services III - Request For Information (RFI)

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the FA9101 AEDC PKP Procurement Branch, for the Facility Support Services III program under solicitation number FA9101FSSIII_RFI2. The RFI is strictly for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or obligation to award a contract; no costs or liabilities will be incurred by the government from responses. The primary performance locations are Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee and Coopertown, Tennessee, with the government currently evaluating multi-year contract durations ranging from four years and six months to ten years and six months, including potential options under FAR 52.217-8. The acquisition is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 561210. The scope encompasses critical facility support services including armed security operations, 24/7 command and control of the AEDC Operations Center, fire and emergency services including hazardous materials response, and environmental and safety program compliance, while explicitly excluding occupational health, base supply, cargo movement, and vehicle operations and maintenance previously covered under FSS II. Respondents are required to provide information on period of performance, commerciality, CMMC Level 2 – C3PAO certification status, data rights preferences for Form, Fit, and Function and Operation, Maintenance, Installation, and Training data, and potential subcontracting opportunities through SourceAmerica/AbilityOne. CMMC Level 2 certification is a mandatory condition of award and must be continually maintained with annual affirmations and triennial third-party assessments, with certification data required in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Firms currently performing on the Test Operations and Sustainment contract are ineligible due to organizational conflict of interest, and potential conflicts may arise with contractors also supporting other AEDC programs. Responses must be submitted via email in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format by 0900 Central Daylight Time on July 7, 2026, to the designated points of contact; ZIP files are prohibited. A formal Request for Proposal is anticipated in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027 and will be posted on SAM.gov and submitted through the PIEE Solicitation Module, where detailed evaluation criteria, contract clauses, and pricing structures will be formally defined.
