Carpet Tile Biddings - Procurement Opportunities

This notice outlines the Air Force Carpet II program, a mandatory-use program for carpet procurement at Air Force installations within CONUS. The program utilizes two tiers: Tier I for carpet manufacturers and Tier II for installers. All Tier II acquisitions above the micro-purchase threshold, but not over the simplified acquisition threshold, are set aside for small businesses. The ordering process involves obtaining approval from the local civil engineering office, submitting required documents, soliciting quotes from Tier I contractors, and selecting an awardee based on established criteria. Existing warranties and BPAs/IDIQs must be considered. Waivers may be required for items not included in the pre-priced list. Shipping information is handled at the Tier II level. The program is designed to deliver cost savings, standardize requirements, and reduce acquisition lead time. The notice also includes information on ordering process steps, responsibilities, and relevant contact information. The program can be incorporated into larger projects such as building construction, remodels, and renovations. The notice also mentions a separate solicitation for flooring services at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, using existing Tier I contracts.
