How to bid on the React VII facility installation for the Department of the Air Force
What the Air Force is buying
The Department of the Air Force is seeking a contractor to install the React VII facility at Building 9001, Post V19, at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. This is a construction RFP restricted to SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Businesses.
The required site visit has already taken place. Attendance was required to be eligible to submit a proposal, so a business that did not attend should not assume it can submit.
Key dates and the deadline
The solicitation was published October 15, 2026. Questions, called RFIs in the notice, are due October 22, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST. The proposal deadline is November 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. ET.
The site visit was held October 15, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. CST. The notice says attendance is required for proposal eligibility. The deadline marks when proposals are due; follow the solicitation documents for the submission method and any other instructions.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business with experience relevant to construction work. The notice explicitly limits the posting to SBA-certified WOSBs.
Because the required site visit has passed, this is relevant only to firms that attended it and meet the stated certification restriction.
