AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Air Force, through the Air Force Sustainment Center’s PZIEA office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, intends to sole-source the procurement of Jimsphere High Resolution Wind Profiler weather balloons with a 2-meter diameter made from clear 1/2 mil polyester film to Meteorological Products Inc. This action is authorized under RFO 6.103-1, as the government lacks the technical information or alternative sources capable of servicing or supplying this specialized equipment, and only the original equipment manufacturer can meet operational requirements. Although this is not a solicitation and competitive quotes are not currently being accepted, responsible sources may submit capability statements within eight calendar days of the notice’s publication on May 14, 2026, with a response deadline of May 22, 2026. Any submissions will be reviewed at the government’s discretion, but no delay in award will occur pending source approval, as the timeline for new source approval typically cannot accommodate contract scheduling needs. The place of performance is Nibley, Utah, and primary point of contact is Hans Yuri Gabriel, with secondary contact Kathryn McKay. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334519 and carries no set-aside designation.

16292 Steam Boiler Replacement
Solicitation # FA822226Q3345
Solicitation FA8222-26-Q-3345 is a firm fixed price, total small business set-aside contract for the design and construction of a replacement heating system at Building 1515, Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The project objective is to transition the facility from an existing steam heat exchanger system to a more efficient, decentralized gas-fired hot water boiler system. The scope of work includes complete mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering, the demolition and disposal of existing steam systems, and the installation of high-efficiency boilers, such as the RBI Futera III, along with necessary piping and venting. The new system must be integrated into the facility's Direct Digital Control and Energy Management Control System via BACnet. The estimated project value is between 1 million and 5 million dollars. The period of performance is weather-dependent, with design and material acquisition required before the typical April-May steam shut-off, followed by a 60-day construction window. Award may be based on either Lowest Price Technically Acceptable or Best Value Trade-Off criteria, with the latter emphasizing technical soundness and a demonstrated history of similar design-build projects. Key requirements include the provision of a Utah-licensed Professional Engineer, adherence to Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations, and compliance with Hill AFB Installation Facilities Standards. Final acceptance is contingent upon successful system commissioning, delivery of as-built drawings, and the completion of operator training for government personnel.
