Solicitation W91QF026QA019 is a total small business set-aside for the procurement, installation, and commissioning of an Exterior Dust Collection System (EDCS) for the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center Exhibit Fabrication Shop in Building 952 at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The contractor must provide a fully operational system capable of collecting combustible wood dust from ten machines with a minimum airflow of 3,895 CFM and a transport velocity of 4,000 FPM. The system must include a spark detection and extinguishment system, an abort damper, and a no-return valve, all while complying with International Mechanical Code and NFPA standards for combustible dust and fire protection. Deliverables include the physical system, airflow balancing reports, engineered as-built drawings, operator training, and a one-year warranty. The project requires installation on a specific exterior concrete pad and integration with 460V 3-phase power and a 50 PSI water supply. Proposals must be submitted via email by August 24, 2026, organized into four distinct volumes covering general certifications, technical capability, past performance, and price. Award will be based on a trade-off process evaluating technical capability, past performance, and price reasonableness. The period of performance concludes with a delivery deadline of September 30, 2026, and all invoicing must be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system. Final inspection and acceptance will occur at the Installation Property Book Office in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
