The Department of the Army's Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal issued a Request for Information (RFI) on November 5, 2024, concerning preventative maintenance, calibration, and emergency repairs/parts for Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Shot Peen Machines and Robotic Water Jet Strippers. This RFI seeks to gather information for planning purposes and does not represent a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). It clarifies that no contracts will be awarded based on this request, and submitting information is voluntary, with no payment from the government for responses. Interested companies, particularly small businesses, are encouraged to provide input regarding their capabilities. They are asked to indicate their business size and socio-economic status and detail if pricing is based on GSA or Open Market. Responses should be submitted in writing to the designated contact by November 12, 2024. The RFI aims to inform the government’s future acquisition strategy and will help in assessing potential contractors for upcoming needs without promising a definitive solicitation in the near term.
The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the non-personal services contract for preventive maintenance (PM), calibration, and emergency repairs for CNC Shot Peen Machines and Robotic Water Jet Strippers at the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD). The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary personnel, tools, equipment, and services, except those specified as government furnished. The key tasks include quarterly PM and calibration of four CNC machines and semi-annual service for three water jet strippers, with detailed inspection reports following each visit. The contract spans three years, comprising one base year and two optional years. Quality control and assurance programs are mandated to ensure compliance with performance standards, including adherence to safety, security, and environmental regulations. Additionally, the contractor must provide on-site certified technicians capable of supporting CCAD personnel, maintain records for service calls, and engage in ongoing communication with the government’s Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for adequate oversight. Overall, the contract aims to ensure functionality and safety in critical manufacturing operations to support military aircraft overhaul programs.
