How to bid on a Hazardous Material Building for the Air Force

What the Air Force is buying

The Department of the Air Force is seeking information from vendors who can provide and install a prefabricated hazardous material building. This building must include an installed fire suppression system. The delivery location for this item is Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam (JBPHH) in Hawaii.

This is a sources sought notice, which means the Air Force is gathering information about potential suppliers. It is not a request for a bid or a promise to issue one in the future. Your response helps the Air Force understand the market and plan for any future solicitations.

Key dates and deadlines

This notice was published on July 24, 2026. Interested vendors must submit their information by August 05, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. This corresponds to 1:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time on the same day.

The Air Force will not accept unsolicited proposals at this time. All costs incurred in responding to this notice are at the vendor's expense. Not responding does not prevent you from participating in any future bid requests that may arise from this inquiry.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for construction firms, particularly those specializing in prefabricated buildings or hazardous material storage solutions. Vendors with experience in providing and installing fire suppression systems are also well-suited.

The primary NAICS code mentioned is 332311. Firms capable of shipping to Hawaii, either assembled or disassembled, should consider responding. The Air Force is interested in both prime contractors and subcontractors.

Tips for a competitive response

When responding to a sources sought notice, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's capability and experience directly relevant to the stated requirement. Provide concise descriptions of past projects that highlight your ability to provide prefabricated hazardous material buildings with fire suppression systems.
