SOURCES SOUGHT - Sewer Camera Trailer Upgrade

The 90th Contracting Squadron at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming is conducting market research under a sources sought announcement titled “SOURCES SOUGHT - Sewer Camera Trailer Upgrade” with solicitation number FA461326SEWCAM, issued on May 5, 2026. This notice is not a solicitation for bids or proposals and will not result in an award; its sole purpose is to assess industry capability and determine whether the upcoming requirement for upgrading a sewer inspection trailer system can be set aside for small businesses. The North American Industrial Classification System code is 334310, with a small business size standard of 750 employees, and the acquisition is currently evaluated under a Total Small Business Set-Aside as defined by FAR 19.5. The requirement involves installing an onboard generator, two flat screen monitors, an HD remote-controlled sewer tractor with video cable, a cable winch with video camera reel, and integrating all components onto an existing trailer to ensure full operational functionality for inspecting the base’s 15.2-mile sewer network. Responses are due by 11:00 AM MDT on May 19, 2026, and must be submitted electronically to two designated email addresses with no phone inquiries permitted. The Performance Work Statement outlines technical expectations including compliance with DoDI 5200.48 for Controlled Unclassified Information handling, mandatory OPSEC training for personnel, and strict adherence to base security protocols such as REAL ID-compliant identification, background checks, and return of base passes within 24 hours of employment termination. Contractors must use environmentally preferable products per EPA, FEMP, and USDA BioPreferred guidelines, and any encounter with hazardous materials like asbestos or lead triggers mandatory immediate reporting. All work must be completed within a 45-day performance period beginning ten days after award notice, and delivery involves transporting equipment to a designated location and returning it to F.E. Warren AFB for final inspection and acceptance. The government conducts 100% inspection upon return, requiring zero discrepancies and full operational readiness, with quality control and customer feedback serving as key performance indicators. The contractor must provide hard-copy and digital versions of manufacturer manuals and designate a fluent English-speaking Contract Manager. Special requirements include mandatory attendance at a post-award conference with submission of a draft project plan, and all changes to scope or terms must be directed exclusively to the Contracting Officer.
