The U.S. Air Force is seeking small business sources—specifically 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB firms—for a single-award, Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to perform Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana. The contract covers a broad range of multi-trade maintenance, repair, minor construction, and renovation projects, with a five-year ordering period and a maximum ceiling of $9,000,000. Interested firms must demonstrate bonding capability, experience with pre-priced unit price databases such as Gordian CTC/eGordian, and relevant past performance. The government intends to use a coefficient-only pricing model without a mock project, requiring contractors to absorb software licensing and training costs within their coefficients. Capability statements are requested electronically, with no performance location beyond Grissom ARB, Indiana specified in the notice.
