Heat Treat (5) 57232989.docx

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for heat treatment services issued by Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, FL. The RFI seeks to identify vendors capable of providing off-site heat treatment services for various metal materials including aluminum, steel, titanium, and beryllium copper. Required services encompass multiple heat treatment processes such as vacuum heat treating, precipitation hardening, quenching (hot oil, water, neutral), solution heat treating, and tempering, with mandatory inspection and testing capabilities using standards like ASTM E18 and ASTM E1004.

The RFI specifically requests potential contractors to submit capability statements detailing their experience, facility address, CAGE Code, Small Business Administration classification, and potential teaming arrangements. Contractors must be prepared to handle heat treatment orders on an as-needed basis, provide comprehensive documentation including furnace charts, certifications of conformance, and inspection/hardness/conductivity test results. While this is a market research tool and not a formal solicitation, the Navy is evaluating competitive capabilities under NAICS code 332811 to inform future acquisition strategies for heat treatment services supporting aircraft and component maintenance operations.
