Business Size (e.g., Small Business, Large Business, etc.) and any socio-economic categories (e.g., HUBZone, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, etc.)

We would also appreciate your company’s feedback on the requirements outlined in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS), dated 26 February 2026, including any impediments to your firm proposing or any concerns you have regarding the ability to provide a fair and reasonable price.

1. What is the distance from your facility to WHASC and Randolph AFB?

1. If your company is planning a teaming arrangement/subcontracting, what would the structure be?

1. Can your company utilize a strategic Government vehicle, i.e., Federal Supply Schedule, GWAC, etc. to obtain these services? If so, please provide the schedule, contract, or order for which we can validate.

1. Is the distance to the facility for pickup and delivery prohibitive of your company proposing on this requirement at a fair and reasonable price? If so, are there any changes that the government should consider to increase your ability to provide a proposal and maintain a reasonable price?

1. What other factors, if any, would prevent your company from submitting a proposal for this requirement? (Examples: inability to meet security requirements, facility limitations, etc.)

1. Beyond those outlined above, are there any specific challenges or concerns you foresee in fulfilling this requirement, given the scope of work and delivery schedule?

1. Provide any suggestions or recommendations that would improve the clarity or feasibility of this requirement.
