The Department of the Air Force, through the 27th Special Operations Contracting Squadron (27 SOCONS LGC) at Cannon Air Force Base (AFB), New Mexico, has issued a solicitation (Procurement Identifier: FA485526Q0047) for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide a Portable Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Live Fire Trainer and qualified operator. This procurement is designed to address a critical training deficiency resulting from the out-of-service status of Cannon Fire & Emergency Services’ (F&ES) static ARFF live fire trainer, which would require repairs exceeding $1.5 million. The intent is to ensure that F&ES personnel can continue to meet mandatory training and certification requirements in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards 1003 and 1403, as well as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 139.
The scope of this requirement encompasses the provision of a portable ARFF live fire training system and an experienced operator to facilitate live fire training evolutions for F&ES personnel. The training is to be conducted over a five-day period, with bi-annual sessions scheduled in April and August each year, aligning with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center’s (AFCEC) Master Training Plan (MTP) and FAA regulatory mandates. The BPA will cover a five-year period, ensuring continuity and compliance with both annual and bi-annual training cycles as required by AFI 10-210 and FAA Part 139.
Key deliverables include the delivery, setup, and operation of a portable ARFF live fire trainer at Cannon AFB, as well as the provision of all necessary instruction to enable F&ES personnel to maintain their aircraft firefighter certifications. The contractor must ensure that all training activities adhere strictly to the relevant NFPA and FAA standards, thereby supporting the operational readiness and safety of the base’s emergency response teams.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS Code 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), with a Product Service Code of U008 (Education/Training – Training/Curriculum Development). The procurement is set aside for Small Business Administration (SBA) eligible entities, reflecting the government’s commitment to supporting small business participation in federal contracting.
The place of performance is Cannon AFB, located in New Mexico, United States. Interested contractors should note that the BPA will require the ability to mobilize and operate specialized training equipment on-site at the base, and to provide qualified personnel capable of delivering instruction in compliance with all applicable standards.
The solicitation is currently active, with a response deadline of July 20, 2026. Prospective offerors are encouraged to review all six attachments available via the official SAM.gov opportunity listing (Opportunity ID: 2d11e65840dd4d04a557c47b66586d6f) for detailed requirements and submission instructions.
