The 109AW intends to issue a 100% small business set-aside for commercial extreme cold-weather expeditionary shelter systems and replacement fabric components engineered for sub-zero polar environments. The requirement includes heavy-duty barrel covers, solid and entry endwall panels, and self-supporting insulated shelter systems with vestibules, all designed for polar conditions. Following a 15-day pre-solicitation notice, the contracting officer will directly solicit quotes from at least three small business sources, with award based on best value integrating price and technical performance. The anticipated award date is 04 September 2026. Vendors will be evaluated on how effectively their proposed equipment meets the required polar performance specifications.
