Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 375th Contracting Squadron (375 CONS LGC), has issued a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought for Market Research for Wash Rack Repair Services and Associated Commodities at Scott AFB, IL. This RFI aims to gather industry feedback on the feasibility of a single-award solution for both maintenance/repair services and the procurement of wash rack commodities. Responses and clarifying questions are due by June 17, 2026.
Purpose
This is a market research effort, not a solicitation, to inform the Government's acquisition strategy for an upcoming requirement encompassing both manual automotive cleaning facility/repair services and associated wash rack commodities. The Air Force seeks to understand industry capabilities and norms regarding the provision of both certified maintenance/repair services and the supply of associated wash rack commodities.
Scope of Interest
The potential requirement encompasses:
- Services: Preventative maintenance and repair services for automotive wash rack equipment, including scheduled maintenance, routine and emergency repair calls (with specified response times), development of PM schedules, and use of genuine replacement parts with a 90-day warranty. Performance is required at Buildings #548 and #570 on Scott AFB, IL.
- Commodities: Procurement and supply of specific wash rack equipment, including stainless steel wash enclosures, 5 hp 3ph motor VFDs, 5CP2140 pumps, overhead high-pressure booms, wall-mount foam brush booms, trigger guns, foam brushes, stainless steel vacuums, and 30,000 btu Natural Gas Radiant Heaters.
Key Questions for Industry
Respondents are asked to address:
- Feasibility of a single prime contractor providing both certified maintenance/repair services (per the draft PWS) and procuring/supplying all specified wash rack commodities (per the Excel document).

- Appropriateness of the proposed NAICS code 811310.
