This market survey is strictly for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, nor will any contract be awarded based on responses. The government is particularly interested in capabilities from small business concerns including WOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a), and HUBZone firms to assess whether a Small Business Set-Aside is feasible under FAR Part 19 or if the requirement must proceed under Full and Open Competition with small business subcontracting goals. Responses are due by August 20, 2026, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs incurred in submitting information. The solicitation number is 15605, posted on August 10, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 811310 for miscellaneous repair and maintenance. The point of contact is Joshua Akinwande of the Department of Defense, FA8224 AFSC OL H PZIMA, reachable at the provided phone number and email. All work must be performed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with no set-aside currently designated. The information gathered will inform future acquisition decisions but does not guarantee a procurement will occur. Interested parties are encouraged to respond by the deadline to ensure accurate market awareness.
