Alaska Aerospace Corporation is seeking a contractor to assess corrosion and structural damage at its launch tower and support equipment at the Pacific Spaceport Complex in Kodiak.

The study will use non-destructive testing methods to evaluate the condition of all surfaces and structural components at Launch Pad 1. The findings will guide future maintenance and determine how to extend the life of the facility.

The request for proposals is numbered AAC-26-001. Alaska Aerospace Corporation operates the spaceport under the state Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs.

The launch tower sits on Narrow Cape, about 25 miles south of the city of Kodiak. The facility has supported orbital and suborbital launches since 1998.

Contractors interested in the project can download the full request for proposals from the Alaska Online Public Notices system. The document is listed under project number AAC-26-001.

The notice was posted May 5 and will remain active through May 28. Questions about the project should be directed to Duffy Goodner at Alaska Aerospace Corporation.
