The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Research Laboratory, has issued solicitation FA239626RB004 for On-site High Voltage Electrical Equipment Support Services at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This small business set-aside contract requires a contractor to provide all personnel, tools, and materials for non-personal engineering, maintenance, and repair services for over 3,000 critical low- and medium-voltage electrical assets across 49 research facilities. The scope includes managing over 100,000 HP of rotating equipment and performing both scheduled preventive maintenance and emergency troubleshooting. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with a base period of 12 months starting September 10, 2026, and includes multiple option periods extending through March 2032. Selection will be conducted using a best value tradeoff methodology where technical capability is significantly more important than price. A mandatory pass/fail gate requires the contractor to hold current InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) accreditation and provide NETA-certified personnel. Technical evaluation factors include the quality of personnel, staffing and management plans, local market presence within 50 miles of the base, and a robust quality control plan. Additionally, the contractor must demonstrate strong past performance in similar NETA testing services. Security requirements are stringent, necessitating Secret-level clearances for key personnel, compliance with Operations Security (OPSEC) programs, and adherence to protocols for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and classified technical data.
