The Red River Army Depot (RRAD) has issued a combined synopsis and solicitation, seeking a small business to manufacture and supply track blocks for the T-161 track system. The Department of Defense (DoD) aims to secure a reliable source for these components, with the potential for a one-year extension, totaling 124,000 blocks over two years.
The selected contractor will be required to deliver 8,000 blocks per month, Free On Board (FOB) destination, starting 30 days after receiving the order. The DoD emphasizes compliance with TACOM drawing 12496793 Rev A and expects offerors to provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) for each delivery, ensuring adherence to specified quality standards.
The CoC requires the contractor to furnish detailed data with each delivery, including company information, order details, and product specifications. The data submission is categorized, and pricing is determined by the effort required. Accurate and complete data submission will be a key evaluation criterion in the selection process.
This opportunity is a 100% small business set-aside, and applicants must submit the necessary forms and documentation to be eligible. The evaluation process will consider technical capability, past performance, and price, with the lowest responsive offeror being awarded the contract. It's important to note that the DoD intends to award the contract without discussions, making a strong initial submission crucial.
Interested parties should submit their applications by 26 August 2024 at 3:00 pm CST. For more information or clarifications, two points of contact are provided: Travis Peterson and Randy Reece, available via email or phone.
Far more than just a procurement process, this opportunity reflects the DoD's commitment to maintaining a robust supply chain for its specialized equipment, highlighting the importance of timely delivery and compliance with exacting standards.
