Additional specifications cover noise levels (under 80 dBA), detachable supply hoses, a replaceable air inlet filter, and various pressure gauges with designated ranges. The system must include safety features such as a pressure relief valve, ambient temperature gauge, and automatic shut-off to aircraft, along with a ruggedized transport case. The document emphasizes the need for the equipment to meet operational and safety standards, highlighting the importance of these testers in aviation contexts. The dimensions of the unit are also provided, indicating a compact design suitable for field use. This request for proposal is part of a government procurement process aimed at ensuring the availability of vital maintenance equipment for aircraft safety and performance.
The Colorado Air National Guard's 140th Wing has issued a request for quotation (RFQ) for two portable cabin pressure testers, designated as W50S6V24Q0007. This acquisition, set to benefit Agile Combat Employment environments, is a firm-fixed-price contract and is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The selected contractor must supply identical testers from the same brand to facilitate a unified maintenance service plan. Quoters must include separate pricing for an optional maintenance plan of one to three years and deliver the items within 30 days.
The RFQ emphasizes the need for compliance with federal procurement regulations, including submission formats, deadlines for questions, and quotes. The evaluation of quotes will be based on pricing, delivery timelines, and conformity to specifications. Only registered entities in the System for Award Management (SAM) are eligible for award consideration. All submissions must be emailed, with limit sizes of 10MB, to designated points of contact. Overall, this opportunity reflects the Colorado Air National Guard's commitment to enhancing operational capabilities while adhering to federal procurement standards and supporting small businesses.
