About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure a 100KN Universal Testing Machine (UTM) for the Composites & Shelf-Life Lab at Tinker Air Force Base. This commercially off-the-shelf replacement system must meet AC7122 National Aerospace Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) Composites alignment requirements and includes comprehensive hardware, software, and accessory specifications. Key technical requirements include a floor model system with 22,500 pounds force capacity and an environmental chamber with temperature range of -110°F to 650°F, along with multiple specialized testing fixtures for various material testing methods. The vendor must provide complete services including shipping, installation, training, calibration, and maintenance with a 1-year warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. Contractors must be US citizens with no foreign participation permitted, and must submit a Contractor Capability Survey by close of business on October 14, 2025, at 3:00 PM CDT.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to both large and small businesses, with joint ventures and teaming arrangements encouraged. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, suggesting this is either a new requirement or the current system has reached end-of-life. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials, the procurement represents a one-time purchase order contract for a sophisticated scientific testing instrument. The vendor will be required to conduct 4-hour onsite training for three operators, perform annual calibration services, and develop at least five test methods specific to the laboratory's requirements. Installation will be performed at Tinker AFB with the vendor responsible for integrating the UTM with government-provided computer systems and conducting multiple verification and calibration checks.
