    Description

    The Department of Defense aims to enhance the efficiency of aircraft servicing at Shaw AFB, South Carolina, through the acquisition of a specialized Compressed Gas Cylinder Trailer, termed the 77th EPU Booster. This project is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, focusing on the F-16 aircraft's unique needs.

    The booster trailer addresses the current challenge of limited nitrogen pressure, which restricts the number of aircraft that can be serviced before recharging. By increasing the pressure, the trailer improves the turnaround time for servicing multiple aircraft. This portable solution must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure safety and avoid potential aircraft failures.

    The scope of work involves delivering a specialized trailer that meets exacting technical specifications. This includes compliance with dimensions, materials such as stainless steel and brass components, and the integration of precise pressure gauges and settings. The trailer must be equipped with compatible charging valves and have the ability to boost nitrogen pressure to specific levels.

    Eligible applicants for this procurement must demonstrate expertise in designing and manufacturing specialized trailers, meeting the intricate details outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The RFP specifies stringent standards and guidelines that adhere to Air Force regulations.

    The procurement follows a firm-fixed-price contract structure, with an estimated value influenced by the final system configuration. The submission deadline is imminent, indicating a swift evaluation process.

    Interested parties should refer all inquiries to Lt Lawrence Jenkins and Shaunannette Watson, the contracting officer, via email, with a quote submission deadline of July 30th, 2024. The evaluation process will consider the offered price and technical capabilities, with an emphasis on complying with the detailed specifications.
