The Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to ACI Machine Tool Sales, LLC to provide preventative maintenance and repair services for commercial machine shop equipment. The contract has a potential value of $3,000,000 over five years and was awarded on September 10, 2020 without a set-aside designation. Task orders issued against the contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, Air Force Materiel Command, and Department of the Navy call for services including annual preventative maintenance, repairs, diagnostics, and part installations to be performed by ACI Machine Tool Sales, LLC in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The original solicitation sought proposals for a firm-fixed price contract to maintain machine shop assets utilized by NSWC Crane for manufacturing spare parts in support of aircraft electronic warfare systems programs.
The multiple task orders provided summarize work awarded under the IDV contract for preventative maintenance, repairs, and overhauls of equipment such as lathes, mills, grinders and press brakes on an as-needed basis across naval and air force installations. Task order periods of performance range from one month to one year, with values from $1,200 to $36,980. The scope and purpose of the contracted services appears to be sustainment of industrial machinery supporting production and depot-level maintenance at government organic facilities.
