For this requirement, the contractor shall provide personnel, equipment, materials, supervision, transportation, a contract manager, and other items and services necessary to perform Aircraft Corrosion Control Services for Dover Air Force Base’s C-5 fleet.

The successful contractor will be required to obtain a facility clearance at the SECRET level and be able to obtain individual security clearances at the SECRET level for a specified number of employees.
