This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation reference number is F52SLS23020300 and will be issued as a request for quotation. This solicitation incorporates Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-09.

The Department of Labor Wage Determination 94-2063, Revision # 18, Ca Santa Barbara applies to this solicitation. Lighting is required to illuminate the entire outside surface of Launch Vehicle 360 degrees to 400-foot candles minimum, for a minimum period of four consecutive hours. Contractor will need to setup five days prior to scheduled launch and conduct a test of lighting system. The test will be used to verify remote operability and to focus lights. Tests need to be conducted on a noninterference basis to launch pad activities. The contractor will have three locations to position their lights/equipment, as indicated below. SLC-4 West: Titan II, 130 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter: 1st location is approximately 660 feet from launch vehicle, 2nd location is approximately 800 feet from launch vehicle and 3rd location is approximately 1300 feet from launch vehicle. The Government will determine final lighting position. Generators that operate the equipment will need to operate continuously for a minimum of 4 hours; there is no commercial power available and contractors are required to supply all fuel. Contractor will need to provide statewide portable equipment registration certificate to the Government for all generators brought to Vandenberg AFB. Generator run times and fuel usage need to be reported to the Government after every use. The launch may or may not go as scheduled. The contractor shall be available to operate equipment until successful launch; this could be from 24 hours to several weeks. Equipment can be stored on site in between launch attempts, but the equipment needs to be moved to a lay down area outside of SLC-4 fence. The Government is not responsible for rodent or weather damage. Using a remote transmitter, light need to be turned on and off remotely from 4 miles away at a fallback area. Due to hilly terrain, repeater may also be required. The frequency used for the remote transmitter equipment will need to be approved by the Government prior to use. A frequency of 2.4 GHz has worked in the past. Offerors shall submit the following information in their proposals: 1. The quantity and model number of lights that are going to be used at each location. 2. The data/specification sheet that shows the Beam Spread, Beam Lumens and Avg. Candle Power setting. 3.
