What the notice says
The purpose of this amendment is to: a. Provide supplemental information in the form of a Question and Answers document. Attachment: *Amendment 1: P-51 Aircraft Paint The P-51 aircraft on static display in the museum airpark needs new paint and minor repairs to mitigate water intrusion and resultant corrosion and must be repainted in order to provide a quality display appearance. The contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, parts, and labor necessary to accomplish the painting of the static display aircraft. The contractor will also be responsible for ensuring envir… (show all)
onmental regulation compliance. The objective of this service is to properly prep, sand, prime, and paint the Barksdale Global Power Museum P-51 static display aircrafts. All bird proofing will be removed, and any remnants of nests/wildlife will be removed/disposed of, and new bird proofing installed prior to painting. Prior to cleaning and paint removed, the area under the aircrafts will be tarped to contain paint chips for proper disposal. Surface contamination will be removed through use of high-pressure washer utilizing water only. After sufficient drying time, existing paint will be scraped and sanded to feather edge, peeled or otherwise defective paint and to properly scuff surface in preparation for paint application. Care will be taken by contractor during task in order to protect ground underneath and around aircraft from negative environmental impact. At the end of each day or prior to a rain event, paint chips collected on the tarps will be swept up and placed into drums. Tarps will be reused to the greatest extent possible to reduce the amount of waste generated. All paint chips, paint, rags and debris generated will be managed as directed by the Base Hazardous Waste Program Manager. Contractor will meet with Program Manager prior to the start of any activities. If any corrosion/metal deterioration is discovered, it will be removed and repaired prior to paint application. The aircraft is to be painted in its current paint scheme with all current insignia and markings. Insignia and markings (i.e., stars and bars, tail number) will be repainted in the same size, color, and location as they are currently. Stenciling will be reapplied in the proper location and size and painted on. The aircraft engine inlet covers and landing gear will be repainted as well. The windows will also be prepped and painted and have the same polyurethane clear coat as the rest of the aircraft. Vinyl stickers will not be used unless approved by curator. Unpainted surfaces (landing, taxi lights, navigation, and position lights, etc.) will be masked off and protected from paint overrun. If aircraft skin has original unpainted metal surfaces, they will be polished to a mirror finish rather than painted. Care will be taken by contractor during task in order to protect ground underneath and around aircraft from negative environmental impact. Primer (LICP 200 Industrial primer or better) will be applied to ensure solid paint application. The color coats will be Industrial Catalyzed Urethane type paint or better (subjective to approval by curator). You must obtain a wet mil thickness of 4.0-4.5 mils. One coat applied in two medium wet passes may be adequate to accomplish the above specification. If not, a second coat will be applied. Then 2 or more coats of Valspar AC4400 Clear coat HS or better will be applied to give a high gloss and long-lasting UV protection. Paint application depends on chemical composition of the paint used. All paint and primers containing hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and/or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cannot be sprayed and must be applied by rolling or brushing. All SDS�s must be provided to the CE Environmental Office.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $BA reported $94.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 22 past awards, $2.0M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $GD reported $53.8B revenue (12 months to Apr 5, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 22 past awards, $2.0M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 22 past awards, $2.0M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
