Koke'e Fuel Tank Water Removal

The U.S. Air Force, through the 766 Enterprise Sources Squadron, is soliciting bids for the removal of water from the interstitial space of a 5,500-gallon fuel storage tank located in Building 6 at Koke’e Air Station on Kauai, Hawaii. This project aims to mitigate corrosion and fuel degradation while restoring compliance with federal EPA regulations for fuel storage tanks. The work requires comprehensive labor, equipment, materials, and supervision to extract all water, sample and test it for hydrocarbons, microbial growth, or sediment, and dispose of it in full accordance with federal, state, and local environmental laws. All personnel must be U.S. citizens, subject to criminal background checks, and required to coordinate installation access through the EAL form two weeks in advance. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5 with NAICS code 562112 and employs a Firm-Fixed Price contract structure with two line items: fuel tank water removal as one lot and travel costs for two personnel. Proposal submissions must be submitted via email by the extended deadline of July 2, 2026, and must include completed Sections 6 through 8 of the solicitation, detailed technical descriptions, delivery schedules, pricing, warranty terms, past performance, and a formal statement of agreement with all terms. Key deliverables include lab results, waste characterization forms, disposal manifests, a written certification of EPA compliance, and before-and-after photographic documentation. The contractor is responsible for conducting a post-removal inspection of the interstitial space and providing full operational reporting on all project phases. Access to Koke’e Air Station requires compliance with REAL ID standards and adherence to OSHA fall protection regulations, with no access to restricted areas anticipated unless escorted by government personnel. All analytical and disposal documentation must be provided to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative.
