    This Statement of Work (SOW) details the requirements for the replacement and repair of weapons racks at the Security Forces Armory, Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The contractor is tasked with installing new Spacesaver Universal Weapons Racks, replacing old racks, and transferring existing accessories from old to new racks. Additionally, the contractor must inspect and potentially replace defective 3-Spoke Handles on existing racks. The entire project is expected to be completed within 7 days from commencement, and a detailed project schedule must accompany the contractor's proposal. Temporary government storage will be provided for weapons during the rack replacement, and compliance with security regulations at Malmstrom AFB is mandatory. Deliverables include fully functional installed racks, replaced handles, and a final report documenting the work performed. This SOW emphasizes the government's commitment to ensuring the effective maintenance of armory facilities through proper vendor engagement, adhering to strict guidelines for security and timely completion.
    The 341st Contracting Squadron announces its intent to award a sole-source contract to Spacesaver Corporation for the replacement and repair of weapons racks at the Security Forces Armory located at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the existing racking system, Spacesaver Corporation possesses the necessary expertise for proper installation and integration of new components. Using a non-OEM vendor could pose significant risks, such as damaging the existing system, improper installation, or security vulnerabilities, which could jeopardize the operational readiness of the 341st Security Forces Group. While this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources may submit a capability statement or quotation by May 9, 2025. Responses will be reviewed, and if no affirmative responses are received, the award will proceed without further notice.
