A real notice from this week

SOURCES SOUGHT NAF Beauty/Barber Salon Concessionaire

The Air Force is looking for businesses that could run the Paradise Cuts barber and beauty salon at the Arctic Oasis Community Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska. The operator would provide the staff, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, transportation, insurance, and other items needed, except for government-furnished property listed separately. This is market research, not a bid opportunity or contract award; interested businesses should submit their company details and small-business information by November 14, 2026, at 08:59, time zone not stated.
