    This government solicitation, FA810126Q0001, is an RFP for a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) to provide postal lease equipment, including an automated mailing processing machine and a mail meter, for Tinker AFB, OK. The contract is a firm-fixed-price arrangement for a base year (2026) with four optional one-year extensions (2027-2030). The services include installation, maintenance, software upgrades, and training. The total estimated award amount is $34,000,000.00. The document outlines detailed contractual clauses, payment instructions via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and requirements for contractor access to Air Force installations, emphasizing health and safety compliance and the role of an ombudsman for dispute resolution.
    The Performance-Based Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a continuing lease of an Official Postal Center Postage Meter Contract for Tinker AFB, OK, for FY22. The objective is to provide continuous service for automated mailing equipment in Building 23. The contractor will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, and other items and services necessary for the annual scheduled maintenance and service program. This includes preventive maintenance, labor, and a discounted parts program (25% discount for normal wear and tear, 100% coverage for labor service charges for repairs). The contract covers two scheduled preventive maintenance inspections per year and explicitly states it does not cover operator error or misuse. Additional investment is required for repairs outside normal business hours. The contractor must coordinate preventive maintenance inspections and repairs with Official Postal management. Security requirements involve submitting a visit authorization letter for personnel ten duty days prior to arrival and complying with base regulations, including prohibitions on weapons and safeguarding government property. A safety plan, accident reporting, and investigation procedures are also mandated. Delivery of services is set to begin on January 1, 2026.
    This Wage Determination (No. 2015-5315, Revision No. 27, dated 07/08/2025) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor outlines minimum wage rates and fringe benefits for service contracts in specific Oklahoma counties (Canadian, Cleveland, Grady, Lincoln, Logan, McClain, Oklahoma). It details two Executive Orders: EO 14026, requiring $17.75 per hour for contracts entered into on or after January 30, 2022, and EO 13658, requiring $13.30 per hour for contracts awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022. The document specifies annual adjustments to these minimum rates. It also provides comprehensive lists of occupations with their corresponding hourly wage rates, along with footnotes for certain computer employees and air traffic controllers/weather observers regarding exemptions and night/Sunday pay. Fringe benefits include health and welfare, paid sick leave (under EO 13706), vacation, and eleven paid holidays. The document further details hazardous pay differentials for work with ordnance and explosives, uniform allowance requirements, and the conformance process for unlisted job classifications.
    The document outlines the requirements for a postage meter system at Tinker Air Force Base's OPC team, focusing on shipping and label printing capabilities for USPS. Key requirements include a desired speed of 145 LPM (70 LPM with dynamic weighing) and a scale capacity up to 149 lbs (with a 70 lb limit for USPS). Dynamic weighing ("Weigh on the Way") is a mandatory feature, as is the ability to ship packages and print labels for USPS. Tinker AFB will provide a commercial internet connection and intends to use the meter for electronic return receipts and postage funding via a Reserve or USPS Trust account. While not a strict requirement, the team is open to integrating the new meter with the AFIMSC software umbrella for postage usage reporting if awarded to Pitney Bowes. The system must also support cost accounting for postage usage by department or group.
