Facility Support Services III - Industry Day Slides and Attendee List

The Air Force Test Center's Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) is planning the Facility Support Services (FSS) III contract, a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561210. This initiative follows the FSS II contract and aims to provide comprehensive base operating support at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee. The scope of work encompasses critical functions including security services, fire and emergency services, command and control, vehicle operations, base supply, cargo movement, and environmental health and safety programs. The requirement emphasizes the integration of contractor services with government personnel to support the aerospace ground test mission for the Department of Defense. Current activities are in the planning and informational phase, highlighted by an Industry Day held on July 21-22, 2026, and a prior Request for Information (RFI) that sought industry input on capability, risk, and innovation. The contract requires strict adherence to various military and federal standards, including MIL-STD-129 for packaging and marking, and specific Air Force Instructions for environmental and weapons safety. Key administrative requirements include the use of Associate Contractor Agreements (ACAs) for inter-contractor coordination and the mandatory transfer of technical data to the government. All future updates and formal solicitations regarding the FSS III acquisition will be managed through SAM.gov.
