Repair Taxiway Alpha & Bravo - North Auxiliary Airfield
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE.AIR MOBILITY COMMAND.FA4418 628 CONS PK · Response deadline: Wed, 02 Dec 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Air Force is soliciting bids to repair Taxiway Alpha and Taxiway Bravo at North Auxiliary Airfield. This is airfield pavement maintenance work under NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. Airfield taxiway repair typically involves asphalt or concrete pavement rehabilitation, which may include milling and resurfacing, full-depth patching, joint repair, crack sealing, pavement markings, and associated drainage work. Auxiliary airfields support military flight operations including training, logistics, and aircraft staging, so work may require coordination with active airfield operations and compliance with Air Force construction standards. The specific scope of repairs, square footage, and technical requirements are not specified in the available metadata; see the solicitation.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the Small Business Set Aside – Total program. Your business must qualify as small under the NAICS 237310 size standard, which uses average annual receipts over a specified period; verify the current threshold on SBA.gov. The contracting officer will withhold award from other than small business concerns.
To compete, you must be registered in SAM.gov with active status, have the correct NAICS code in your entity registration, and possess any required security clearances or base access credentials for work at a military installation. For airfield construction, this typically includes compliance with OSHA safety standards and potential adherence to Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and Federal Aviation Administration or military airfield pavement specifications. Past performance on federally funded or military airfield projects strengthens competitiveness but is not specified here as required; see the solicitation for any mandatory experience or certification requirements.
Joint ventures and mentor-protégé arrangements are permissible under small business set-aside rules if structured to comply with SBA regulations.
How to put together a competitive bid
For airfield pavement work, bid preparation demands attention to several specifics. First, verify your bonding capacity: federal construction projects typically require performance and payment bonds. The required bond percentage is not in the metadata; see the solicitation.
Second, develop your cost estimate around mobilization to a rural military auxiliary field in South Carolina. Consider haul distances for asphalt or ready-mix concrete, aggregate sources, and whether on-site batch plants are feasible or prohibited. Factor in potential restrictions on work hours due to airfield operations—night or weekend work windows are common and carry premium labor rates.
Third, account for pavement material specifications. Military airfields often require higher-grade asphalt binders, stabilized base courses, or specific concrete flexural strengths compared to highway work. Material testing and quality control costs should be explicit in your proposal.
Fourth, address safety and phasing. Propose a work plan that maintains airfield operational capability, with clear traffic control, dust suppression, and foreign object debris (FOD) prevention measures.
Fifth, emphasize past performance on airfield or heavy civil pavement projects. Government evaluators weight demonstrated ability to deliver on time within secure environments.
