About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research for procuring VDATS: DA/AB Kits for the 581st Software Engineering Squadron through a Request for Information (RFI). The procurement focuses on Astronic's Test Systems DA and AB-2 and AB-9 kits for Versatile Diagnostic Automated Test Stations. Potential vendors are required to submit detailed information about their company profile, capabilities, and proposed approach, with specific sections addressing their experience in military Automatic Test Stations, reseller authorization, and contract implementation. The RFI requires respondents to limit their submissions to specific page lengths for each section and is primarily seeking information for planning purposes. Interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and must submit their responses by June 12, 2025, with questions directed to Joni Avila via email.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates this will be a firm-fixed price contract under NAICS code 334515 for Instrument Manufacturing, though vendors are invited to suggest alternative classification. No specific set-aside designation is currently applied, and no incumbent contractor is mentioned. While a total cost estimate is requested from respondents, no specific budget range is provided in the document. The contract will potentially involve subcontracting, with vendors asked to specify the percentage of work to be subcontracted. The procurement timeline suggests a potential multi-year engagement, with vendors asked to provide a lead time and implementation schedule. Responses will be distributed only to DOD contractors registered in SAM.gov, and the contract specialist and contracting officer are Jonathon VanBrunt and Teresa Duval, respectively.
