Electrical Equipment Operation and Maintenance Services Contract Electrical Maintenance Contract (EMC)
Solicitation # FA239626RB004
The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RA), is soliciting proposals for solicitation FA239626RB004 to provide on-site high voltage electrical equipment support services at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 561210 requires an InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) accredited contractor to perform non-personal engineering, maintenance, and repair services for over 3,000 critical low- and medium-voltage electrical assets across 49 research facilities. The scope includes both scheduled, standards-based preventive maintenance and rapid, unscheduled emergency troubleshooting. The contract utilizes a hybrid pricing structure consisting of firm fixed price and time-and-materials arrangements, with a base period running from September 10, 2026, to September 9, 2027, and subsequent option periods extending through March 2032. The government will employ a best value tradeoff source selection methodology where non-cost factors, specifically technical capability, are significantly more important than price. NETA eligibility serves as a mandatory gate; quotes rated unacceptable in this factor will be ineligible for further evaluation. Key requirements include the provision of a comprehensive quality control plan, adherence to NETA and NFPA 70 standards, and the assignment of key personnel including a Program Manager, Electrical Engineers, and Foremen. To ensure a mandated two-hour response window for technicians, the government evaluates the offeror's physical presence within a 50-mile radius or one-hour driving distance of the base, though a 60-day transition plan is acceptable for those without an immediate local presence. Proposals must be submitted in three volumes covering administrative eligibility, technical capability, and price, with a final submission deadline of September 9, 2026.
