Sources Sought for LED Airfield Taxiway Lighting

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ONLY. This does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a RFP in the future. The Air Force's (AF) Enterprise Sourcing Group (ESG) Civil Engineering Commodity Council (CECC), Wright-Patterson AFB, is issuing a sources sought synopsis to determine if there are businesses qualified and capable of supplying and installing light-emitting diode (LED) taxiway lighting fixtures at AF bases. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 335129 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. The CECC is seeking a Capability Package from all qualified contractors. Responses should include information identifying whether the interested firm is a small or large business. The ESG CECC was established as part of the AF's Installation Acquisition Transformation (IAT) with a goal to strategically source civil engineering commodities enterprise-wide. The CECC's taxiway lighting spiral will convert all existing AF airfield taxiway quartz/incandescent fixtures to LED fixtures. The CECC is determining the optimal sourcing strategy to handle the purchase of LED taxiway lighting fixtures as well as the subsequent installation on the airfield. The CECC intends to identify companies with the capability to install taxiway fixtures at bases within a specified region(s). See attachment for a breakdown of bases that are located within identified regions and the associated number of fixtures. It is anticipated that the contractor must handle projects at multiple bases, sometimes simultaneously, within the awarded region. Interested companies are asked to highlight which region/regions they intend to cover in their response. At a summary level, the anticipated scope for the LED taxiway lighting acquisition includes: - Remove elevated and in-pavement taxiway edge light fixtures. - Furnish and install new elevated (L-861T) and in-pavement (L-852) light-emitting diode taxiway fixtures. o Fixtures must be Federal Aviation Administration approved, in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-46C. - Fixtures may be installed in the continental United States (CONUS) on over 40 AF bases in varying quantities per base. - The period of performance for the project at each base is estimated to be 90 days. The Government anticipates the contractor will provide all personnel, materials, equipment, and services necessary to perform the tasks outlined above. The contractor must be able to obtain the adequate security clearance to perform the work on-base. Responses are due no later than 5 PM EST 30 June 2010. Your submittal should be limited to a maximum of 10 pages. If late information is received, it may be considered by the Government Evaluation Team, depending on agency time constraints. Responses should be submitted by email to the following: Mr. Chris Muntz email: christopher.muntz@wpafb.af.mil IMPORTANT: This sources sought synopsis does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a RFP in the future, or represent the amount of work anticipated.
