About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for Solicitation FA4528-26-CS-06, a Request for Quotation issued by the 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base for crane boom repair services. The document clarifies key requirements and solicitation terms for vendors responding to this small business set-aside acquisition.
The Q&A addresses critical operational and technical requirements: the crane is a 2010 Altec model (identification number 94-16542239) mounted on a Peterbilt 365 truck, and repair work includes rebuilding the main boom cylinder with seal and internal component replacement, installing new boom wear pads, lubricating specified boom points, and replacing damaged or unusable hydraulic hoses and lines as needed to restore full operational status. Contractors must propose their own turnaround completion period, conduct final testing per manufacturer specifications, and use brand name or equivalent new (not refurbished) materials. The document clarifies that any deficiencies discovered during disassembly beyond the original SOW scope require Contracting Officer written authorization before work proceeds; contractors located beyond 130 miles from Minot Air Force Base's South Gate must include round-trip transportation costs in their fixed-price quote but remain eligible for consideration. The solicitation is 100% set aside for Small Business Concerns and includes seven sample images of the crane data plate and equipment for reference.

5TH CONTRACTING SQUADRON (AFGSC)
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE NORTH DAKOTA

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
FROM: 5 CONS/PKB
SUBJECT: Question & Answer, Crane Boom Repair Solicitation FA452826CS06
Questions /Answers:
Q: Crane manufacturer: Altec?
A: Altec
Q: Crane Model?
A: Not available on crane
Q: Crane Year?
A: 2010
Q: Crane identification/data plate?
A: 94-16542239, and pictures below
Q: Is this a new contract?
A: Yes, there is no incumbent.
Q. The SOW requires replacement of unusable internal cylinder components and hydraulic hoses/lines “as needed.” Since the extent of these items may only become known after disassembly and inspection, should offerors include all such condition-discovered replacements within the total FFP, or would unforeseen damage identified during teardown be separately authorized?
A: If the repairs identify deficiencies and repairs that are not included in the awarded scope of the Statement of Work the contractor will document the condition and contact the Contracting Officer. No additional work will be performed, and no additional cost will be incurred, without written authorization from the Contracting Officer.
Q: Could you please confirm the required overall turnaround/completion period once the vehicle is delivered to the repair facility? The SOW specifies seven-day advance coordination for drop-off and pickup but does not state an overall repair completion period.
A: The overall turnaround/completion period after award receipt of the contract is to be proposed by the vendors. Please note that any delays after the proposed completion period will need to be reported to our office.
Q: What final testing or closeout documentation is required to demonstrate that the boom has been restored to fully operational, safe, mission-ready status—for example, functional/hydraulic testing, load testing/certification, or a written repair/inspection report?
A: Final testing must be accomplished as required by the manufacturer’s specifications.
Q: Are replacement components required to be OEM Altec parts, or are new, technically compatible equivalent components acceptable? The SOW specifies that materials must be new and not refurbished but does not otherwise identify an OEM-only requirement.
A: Materials provided are to be brand name or equal and must be new and not refurbished.
Q: For a repair facility located more than 130 miles from the dispatching installation, please confirm whether the facility remains eligible if the contractor includes round-trip transportation in its price, and please confirm the point from which the 130-mile radius should be measured.
A: Contractor locations exceeding this 130-mile limit will not be eligible for Government-provided transport. Quotes outside that mileage will still be eligible for review as long as pricing for the round trip by the contractor is included. The point of reference is 130 miles from the Minot AirForce Base's South Gate.
Q: Could you please provide a clear photo of the crane data plate, located on or near the turret area, showing the crane’s model and serial number?
A: Please see the images below.
