Engine Water Wash Services

The Air Force is issuing solicitation FA8626‑26‑R‑B001 for an Engine Water Wash service (Engine Water Wash – FA8626‑26‑R‑B001, 11 Mar 2026). Technical Capability is rated “significantly more important than price,” and proposals will be evaluated on four sub‑factors: (1) Schedule and Wash Effectiveness, (2) Environmental Plan, (3) Equipment Procedures (including technical risk rating), and (4) Subcontractor Management/Small‑Business Participation. Offerors must submit two separate volumes with minimal cross‑referencing; Volume I (Technical Capability) is limited to 20 pages and must include a safety plan, FOD‑free equipment design with pictures/diagrams, a formal risk assessment and mitigation plan, and an approach for operating on USAF flightlines using Consolidated Tool Kit procedures. The technical approach must demonstrate the ability to support at least two wash locations in each of the five geographic regions simultaneously, covering all engine types within two weeks of contract award, and must provide a subcontractor management plan that complies with FAR 52.219‑8 for small‑business utilization. The solicitation is a rated order under DPAS (rating DO‑A1) and follows FAR 52.212‑1/‑2 guidance. Price (including any options) will be evaluated after technical acceptability; unbalanced option pricing may render an offer unacceptable, though the Government is not obligated to exercise options. Proposals must be submitted electronically in a Microsoft 365‑compatible format, include required discount and FOB terms, and meet all small‑business quantitative requirements outlined in the solicitation. Non‑compliant technical proposals (rated “Unacceptable”) are unawardable at any price.
