How to bid on Hangar Retrofit at NASJRB Fort Worth for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Texas Air National Guard needs a contractor to renovate and retrofit an existing fuel-cell hangar at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base (NASJRB) Fort Worth. This project involves extending the hangar structure, replacing the foam fire suppression system with a modern water system, and reconfiguring internal support and safety systems.
This is a significant construction opportunity, estimated between $8 million and $13 million, with a 545-day performance schedule. It is set aside entirely for small businesses, making it a valuable target for eligible firms.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for bids is August 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Daylight Time (3:00 PM ET). All bids must be submitted by this time. Failure to submit a bid bond or acknowledge amendments can lead to rejection of your bid.
The award will be made to the responsive and responsible lowest bidder. It is crucial to ensure your firm is registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to proposal submission.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for small businesses in the construction sector. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 236220, which covers Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a small business size standard of $45,000,000.
Firms with experience in hangar renovations, fire suppression system upgrades, and reconfiguring support systems within large facilities will be well-suited. Given the project's magnitude, contractors with a proven track record in similar large-scale government construction projects are encouraged to bid.

Practical tips for a competitive response
Carefully review all sections of the solicitation, especially Section 00 21 00 (Instructions to Offerors) and Section 00 45 00 (Representations and Certifications). Ensure your bid addresses all items, as failure to do so may result in rejection.
Stay updated on any amendments by periodically checking the website where the solicitation is posted. The government will not issue paper copies, and it is your responsibility to monitor for updates. Ensure your SAM registration is active and current, as this is a mandatory requirement for all offerors. Given the requirement for a specific Carrier HVAC chiller system, ensure your proposal accounts for this sole-source component.
