USAFA Parachute Storage System & Installation

The United States Air Force Academy’s 94th Flying Training Squadron is issuing a 100 % Small Business Set‑Aside combined synopsis/solicitation (FA700026Q0031) for the purchase, delivery, and installation of two high‑density, secure parachute storage racks to house 52 parachutes. The contractor must furnish all materials, equipment, labor, and tools required to fabricate, ship, and install the complete system at the USAFA (9231 Airfield Dr., CO 80840) in accordance with the attached Statement of Work and site photographs. Technical capability is the most critical evaluation factor, followed by past performance; price is considered only after these non‑cost factors. Offers that demonstrate superior durability, enhanced safety features, or other attributes that exceed the SOW’s salient characteristics will be rated more favorably, and the Government may award a higher‑priced proposal if technical merit justifies the cost. Quotes must be submitted as a single PDF by 5 May 2026, 2:00 PM MDT, to Nathalieb Zepeda and Kristin Heikkila (email addresses provided). The PDF must contain three parts: (1) a firm‑fixed price schedule for each CLIN, (2) a technical approach confirming compliance with the SOW, and (3) product data sheets, specifications, or drawings for each hardware CLIN that clearly show compliance or superiority. All applicable FAR, DFARS, and DAFFARS clauses—including the prohibition on covered defense telecommunications equipment—apply. The Government reserves the right to award any or all CLINs based on the best‑value trade‑off evaluation.
