About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) response spreadsheet for a CAD/CAM Perpetual Software procurement by the 9th Maintenance Squadron (9 MXS) at Beale Air Force Base. The Air Force is seeking a single perpetual software license for computer-aided manufacturing with specific requirements including Mill 3D, Lathe, and Multi-Axis capabilities, a USB license device, 12 months of software updates, and technical support. The solicitation (FA468625Q0012) is a 100% small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 541519 and a small business size standard of $34M.
Key technical specifications include compatibility with specific machine tools such as a 5-axis Haas UMC-750SS mill, 3-axis Haas VF-4B mill, and two Haas lathes (TL-2 and TL-1). The government requires computer-based training and will accept additional training at no extra cost. The contractor must deliver the software to Beale AFB, CA by 11 April 2025 at 10:30 AM PST, with a 30-day delivery timeline after order receipt. The solicitation requires a minimum 1-year warranty for the software, and offers are due on the specified delivery date, with point of contact information provided for the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist.

| RFI Responses - 9 MXS CAD/CAM Perpetual Software FA468625Q0012 | ||||||||
| No. | RFI | Government Response | ||||||
| 1 | I am assuming that this is the package that they would require but will need to have this confirmed: USB License Device, Mill 3D, Lathe, Multi-Axis, 12-months of software updates and live technical support? | The 9 MXS requires one perpetual license (or equivalent) for a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solution that includes: a hardware or software-based license mechanism (e.g., USB license device or equivalent); Mill 3D, Lathe, and Multi-Axis capabilities; and 12 months of software updates. The government requires computer-based training and will accept additional training offered at no additional cost. | ||||||
| 2 | We have on-demand online training courses available at no cost. We also offer live online training, in-person training at our facilities, and on-site training. Which would you like to have quoted, and the number of students associated with the software? | The Government is requesting one (1) perpetual license with computer-based training and will accept additional training offered at no additional cost. Staffing levels in the shop will vary. | ||||||
| 3 | We have a library of free post processors available. I would need to know which machine tools and the machine tool control model to generate g-code and machine simulation for? | Refer to RFI response #6. | ||||||
| 4 | We would like to know if this is a brand-new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services? | This will be a brand-new contact. | ||||||
| 5 | The RFQ states a quantity of 1, does this imply the desired license count is 1 Mill 3D, 1 Multi-axis, 1 Lathe, and 1 Wire? If this is so only 1 user will be able to use the licenses. | The government is only requesting one (1) perpetual license. | ||||||
| 6 | Under Critical Performance Elements on the SON machine make model and control will need to be listed to guarantee accurate G-code. | # Machine Tool | Make & Model | Serial Number | Date of MFG | CNC / Control Ver. | Axis Config | Primary Purpose |
| 5- Axis Mill | Haas UMC-750SS | 1179976 | 2020 October | Haas NGC (v1.19) | 5 (XYZ + B, C) | Complex aerospace geometry | ||
| 3- Axis Mill | Haas VF-4B | 29919 | 2002 October | Haas Classic Control | 3 (XYZ) | General and legacy part work | ||
| Production Lathe | Haas TL-2 | 3119316 | 2020 September | Haas NGC (v1.19) | 2 (XZ) | One-off repair parts | ||
| Toolroom Lathe | Haas TL-1 | 3125010 | 2022 November | Haas NGC (v1.19) | 2(XZ) | Precision prototype work | ||
| 7 | The Brand OEM needs to know the following before quoting. (1) I will need to know if they want to have the free on-demand training, remote training, or on-site training? (2) I will also need to know what the machine tools they need to generate programs and machine simulations for. (3) I need specific machine tool make, model, controller make and model, and axis configuration information. | 1) Refer to RFI response #1 regarding free on-demand training, remote training, or on-site training. 2) Refer to RFI response #6. 3) Refer to RFI response #6. | ||||||
| 8 | How many users are expected to have access to the software? | Refer to RFI response #2. |
