Draft the paperwork

Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.

Proposal outline

A submission skeleton where every required element is a heading with its source requirement quoted beneath it. You write the substance; nothing gets forgotten.

Questions to submit

Genuine ambiguities and requirements that disadvantage a smaller bidder, drafted as questions you can submit before the Q&A deadline.

Statement of work, as posted

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement for refurbishment of the ARSR building at the HTI facility in Hutchinson, Kansas. Please see attachments for specifics. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, insurance, notifications, licenses, permits, fees, and supervision necessary to perform the work described in the attached Scope of Work and other attachments posted to this announcement. The Acquisition Management System (AMS) applies to FAA in place of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and various other provisions of Federal acquisition law. It is anticipated that a firm-fixed-price type construction contract will be awarded as a result of this solicitation (SIR). Site visit instructions can be found in the SIR: Section L, 3.2.2.3-63 Site Visit (Construction). All questions regarding the project/scope of work/plans must be received in writing to Rikki Pickel @ RIKKI.D-CTR.PICKEL@FAA.GOV no later than 5:00 p.m. CT on September 4, 2026, to allow for responses to be provided prior to due date for receipt of proposals. Contractors must be registered with the System for Award Management, www.sam.gov on the date established for receipt of offers September 11, 2026. Reference AMS Clause 3.3.1-33, paragraph (d), “if the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.” In addition, offerors must complete and return the attached forms by closing date. The forms are provided as separate documents under this announcement. The FAA reserves the right to review and verify each offeror's program eligibility. E-mailed proposals must be received by Rikki Pickel, @ RIKKI.D-CTR.PICKEL@FAA.GOV, no later than 5:00 p.m. CT, September 11, 2026 and must contain 6973GH-26-R-00147 as part of the e-mail subject line. Any responses received after 5:00 p.m. CST, September 11, 2026, may not be considered in accordance with AMS provision 3.2.2.3-14, Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of submittal vendor's response may be determined ineligible. As the FAA does not utilize sealed bidding contracting techniques, a public bid opening will not be held. Potential offerors should note that the FAA reserves the right to communicate with one or more offerors at any time during the SIR process. This SIR/RFQ is not to be construed as a contract or a commitment of any kind. The Government shall not be liable for payment of any costs attributed to the preparation and submission of proposals. Inquiries regarding this SIR/RFQ should be directed to Rikki Pickel, Contract Specialist, @ RIKKI.D-CTR.PICKEL@FAA.GOV.
