RFIPD dated 24 March 2026.docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI) on behalf of the Joint Manufacturing Technology Center (JMTC) located in Rock Island, Illinois. The RFI seeks to assess market capability and vendor interest for the removal, acquisition, and installation of a 5-Ton Electric Arc Furnace. This is a pre-solicitation market research effort and does not constitute a binding request for proposals, quotations, or bids. The Government anticipates pursuing a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract structure for the eventual acquisition but has not committed to issuing a formal solicitation. Responses to this RFI are voluntary, non-binding, and will not be compensated; however, failure to respond does not preclude vendors from participating in any future formal solicitation.

Interested vendors must submit the following information: company name and CAGE Code, point of contact details (name, telephone, and email), company address, business size classification (Large, Foreign, Small, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Service-Disabled Small Business), and a summary of company capabilities relevant to the furnace removal and installation work as outlined in the attached Request for Information Product Description (RIPD). All respondents are responsible for their own response preparation costs. The attached draft documents are subject to change for planning purposes only.
