RFI/Sources Sought: Market Research for Wash Rack Repair Services and Associated Commodities

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the 375th Cons Lgc office at Scott AFB, Illinois, has issued a Request for Information (RFI/Sources Sought) numbered FA440726RFI01 to conduct market research on an upcoming requirement for automotive wash rack repair services and associated commodities. This RFI is strictly for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation; no pricing, quotes, or formal proposals are being solicited or accepted. The Government is seeking industry feedback on whether a single prime contractor can feasibly deliver both certified maintenance and repair services for wash rack equipment and procure all required commodities—including stainless steel enclosures, 5 hp 3-phase VFD motors, high-pressure pumps, overhead and wall-mounted booms, and trigger guns—outlined in an attached commodity list. Industry norms regarding integration of service and supply functions are also under review, alongside confirmation of the proposed NAICS code 811310. Respondents are expected to address the feasibility of a consolidated acquisition versus a split strategy, and to provide detailed information on their business structure, including Cage Code, UEI, socioeconomic status (such as small business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB), GSA contract numbers if applicable, and capabilities to perform the work or subcontract qualified personnel. The performance location is Mt. Zion, Illinois, with services required at Scott AFB; the scope includes scheduled preventive maintenance per manufacturer guidelines, weekly inspections of pits, tanks, electrical components, and air compressors, and response times of 6 hours for routine repairs and 4 hours for emergencies during normal business hours. Contractors must supply new OEM-quality parts, certified technicians, and detailed service reports, and must comply with strict security protocols including background checks, base access controls, vehicle pass management, prohibited weapon possession, random searches, and OSHA-compliant safety gear. A designated contract manager with 24-hour availability and full contractual authority must be appointed, and employee records including social security numbers must be maintained and updated. Duty hours align with the 375th Logistics Readiness Squadron’s standard schedule of 0700–1600 Monday through Friday, and the requirement is not classified as essential for crisis response. All responses and questions must be submitted by June 17, 2026, to the designated contracting officers.
