Climate Controlled Storage Facilities

The contractor is required to provide climate-controlled storage facilities for U.S. Air Force mission-essential property under a Firm Fixed Price contract with a base period of 12 months and up to four optional one-year extensions, totaling a potential five-year performance period. The facility must be located within five miles of Naval Support Activity Panama City in Panama City Beach, Florida, and must maintain strict environmental controls of 55°F to 75°F with humidity not exceeding 50% at all times. Storage space must be a minimum of 500 square feet, configured in secure, individually lockable units, with sealed concrete floors, weather-resistant construction, perimeter fencing, 24/7 video surveillance, and electronic gate access controlled exclusively by government personnel. The contractor is not responsible for inventory management or physical handling of stored items but must report any discrepancies within two hours and provide formal written reports within 24 hours. The contract is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, mandating eligibility for small businesses only, and evaluation for award is based on a trade-off approach considering price and past performance without assigned weights or adjectival ratings, allowing the government to select a higher-priced offeror based on superior performance history. The contractor must comply with extensive federal and defense acquisition regulations including safeguarding covered defense information, prohibiting procurement from Xinjiang and the Maduro regime, cybersecurity incident reporting, System for Award Management maintenance, and prohibitions against certain telecommunications equipment. All invoices must be submitted via Wide Area WorkFlow using approved document types, and payment processing is managed under DoDAAC F87700. The contract includes multiple compliance clauses regarding subcontractor screening, whistleblower rights, convected labor, human trafficking, and contractor ethics, with deviations applied to several FAR clauses effective February 2026. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes—one for price and one for past performance limited to seven pages—by the deadline of May 29, 2026, and only small business offerors may respond, though no socioeconomic certifications have been submitted by respondents in the solicitation record.
