The Air Force Test Center’s Installation Contracting Division at Arnold AFB, TN is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (FA9101161KVStudy) to identify firms capable of performing two Close‑Interval Potential (CIS) and Direct‑Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG) surveys on approximately 19,938 ft of underground 161 kV oil‑filled pipeline (System 1) and 3,500 ft of underground fuel pipeline (System 2). Work must follow NACE/AMPP standards (including SP0502) and be supervised by a NACE‑certified Corrosion Specialist (Level 4) with testing personnel overseen by at least a Level 2 Cathodic Protection Technician. The contractor will document pipe coating, pipe, and backfill conditions, conduct any required excavations and repairs using compatible materials, and provide a comprehensive final report that includes engineering analysis, repair plans, GPS coordinates, root‑cause assessments, cost breakdowns, integrity predictions, maintenance recommendations, as‑built drawings, and installation of red fiberglass drivable markers every 200 ft marked “WARNING UG 161kV CABLE.” Special considerations include a copper grounding grid affecting survey accuracy, asbestos‑containing pipe coating, multiple utility crossings, and burial depths of 5–13 ft. Respondents must submit company information (name, address, contact, UEI), an overview of technical capabilities, and evidence of qualified personnel per Attachment 1 no later than 14:00 CT on 28 April 2026 to Ms. Haley Smith (haley.smith.10@us.af.mil).
