Scott AFB Static Display Aircraft Restoration

The 375th Contracting Squadron is soliciting a Firm-Fixed-Price, single-award contract for the restoration of four static display aircraft—a C-141B, C-130E, C-9A, and KC-135E—located at the Scott Field Heritage Air Park near Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. This requirement is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 488190. The scope of work includes high-pressure washing, nose-only painting using specific AMS-STD-595 color standards, waxing for the C-141B and C-9A, and the repair or replacement of bird mitigation components. Because the site lacks utility access, the contractor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment and materials, including water and electricity. Performance is required to commence no later than September 30, 2026, and the contractor must adhere to strict environmental controls for the containment and disposal of paint chips and debris. The government will award the contract based on a best value tradeoff decision, with past performance being significantly more important than technical capability and price combined. Proposals must undergo a three-phase evaluation consisting of a technical assessment on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, a past performance grading based on quality and confidence, and a price evaluation for reasonableness and balance. Offerors must submit a quote and a technical plan via email by noon CST on August 24, 2026. Required documentation includes a completed Past Performance Information Sheet, representations and certifications, and a cover letter detailing the company's UEI, CAGE code, and business type. Additionally, the contract incorporates various DFARS clauses regarding the safeguarding of defense information and cybersecurity, and contractors must comply with prevailing wage rates for Illinois and Missouri counties as specified in the applicable wage determination.
