What the government is buying

The Federal Aviation Administration is soliciting offers to reattach electrical conduit at the Denver Air Traffic Control Tower (DEN ATCT), located at 9800 Peña Boulevard, Denver, Colorado. This is electrical contracting work related to the maintenance or repair of critical airport infrastructure that supports air traffic control operations. Electrical conduit systems protect and route wiring for power, communications, and control systems within the tower facility. Reattachment work typically involves securing existing conduit that has become loose, damaged, or detached due to environmental factors, structural settling, or other causes. See the solicitation for the specific scope, quantities, and technical requirements.

Key facts

Who can bid

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS 238210. To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for this industry, which is typically based on average annual receipts over a three-year period. You must also be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with active status and have the appropriate NAICS code in your profile.

Electrical contractors with experience in commercial or industrial electrical systems are natural candidates. Prior work at airport facilities, air traffic control towers, or other federally regulated sites may strengthen your competitiveness, though the metadata does not specify mandatory experience requirements. If you are a small business but new to federal contracting, this set-aside status eliminates competition from large businesses, improving your chances. See the solicitation for any required certifications, past performance references, or security clearance needs specific to working at an active air traffic control facility.

How to put together a competitive bid

Understand the operational environment. DEN ATCT is an active air traffic control facility. Work may require coordination with FAA personnel, adherence to strict safety protocols, and scheduling that minimizes disruption to critical operations. Submit a technical approach that demonstrates awareness of these constraints.

Demonstrate electrical expertise. Highlight your firm's experience with conduit installation, repair, and reattachment in commercial or industrial settings. Include relevant licenses, journeyman or master electrician credentials, and any specialized training in airport or mission-critical electrical systems.

Price competitively for small business set-asides. Total small business set asides attract experienced federal contractors. Research comparable FAA electrical contracts and factor in costs for travel, specialized equipment, potential after-hours work, and any security badging requirements.

Address safety and quality. FAA facilities maintain high standards for workmanship that protects essential systems. Your proposal should describe quality control processes, fall protection for elevated work, and procedures for working near sensitive electronic equipment.

Include required registrations. Verify your SAM.gov registration is current, your size status is valid, and you have any required FAA certifications or airport security credentials.
