About this file
This document contains a request for quote (RFQ) for the procurement and installation of robotic laser depaint systems. The RFQ is issued by the General Services Administration on behalf of the United States Marine Corps to remove paint and coatings from light armored vehicles and other military assets at facilities in Albany, Georgia. The scope of work includes delivery, installation, site preparation, testing, training, warranty, and maintenance for up to two robotic laser depaint systems and any necessary building modifications. Quotes are requested by September 30th, 2022 and contract award is anticipated later that same month dependent on evaluation of submissions. The systems must be capable of removing paint from both the exterior and interior of vehicles where accessible and utilize a laser ablation method. Additional details such as vehicle dimensions, material types, and facility information are provided in an accompanying question and answer document.
