Officer Training School - Alaskan Style Tents

The 42d Contracting Squadron at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, is seeking industry input to evaluate procurement options for temporary shelter systems, environmental control units, and associated installation services in support of Officer Training School operations at the Blue Thunder site. The requirement centers on acquiring two brand-name CAMSS-HIT-20QM4W or equal quonset-style tents with specific technical attributes, including triple-layer end walls, fire-retardant plenums, insulated vinyl covers meeting MIL-SPEC, aluminized liners, solar flies, and four insulated windows, alongside two 5-ton environmental control units capable of operating in extreme temperatures from -50°F to +132°F with 60,000 BTU/hr cooling and 51,000 BTU/hr heating. Each system must include a UL1640-certified electrical distribution box with GFCI breakers, twist-lock connectors, 12 triplex 20A receptacles, two 5 lb ABC fire extinguishers, and interconnected smoke alarms. All equipment must be new, not refurbished, with a minimum 10-year field life and must meet ASCE 7-10 wind and snow load standards, UFC 3-600-01, and NFPA codes for life safety and electrical systems. Installation must occur on concrete pads at 1200 March Road, Maxwell AFB, with proper clearance from electrical infrastructure, and must include full hands-on training for government personnel. The solicitation, identified as FA3300OTS26I, is a sources-sought notice with no formal contract award planned from this request; its intent is solely to gather market information to shape a future small business set-aside acquisition under NAICS code 314910. Responses must be submitted via email by June 2, 2026, and require offerors to provide their Unique Entity Identifier, CAGE code, and explicit affirmation of their ability to meet technical specifications with the branded or equal equipment. The effort is classified as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, prioritizing small businesses, including those eligible as SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Packaging, preservation, and labeling are not explicitly governed by MIL-STDs, though equipment must be shipped in condition to ensure protection and ready for immediate installation. Payment, accounting data, and formal evaluation factors remain unspecified at this stage
