151 Band Instruments and Equipment

The Alabama Army National Guard's Department of the Army is seeking to procure musical instruments and equipment for the 151st Army Band through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products. The procurement encompasses 66 line items across multiple categories, including comprehensive audio and lighting equipment such as wireless in-ear systems, digital stage boxes, power speakers, lighting controllers, truss systems, saxophones, microphones, guitar equipment, and various musical accessories from professional manufacturers like Shure, QSC, Behringer, Yamaha, Selmer, and Burkart. This lifecycle replacement initiative requires contractors to deliver equipment that meets detailed technical specifications including frequency ranges, connector types, power requirements, and compatibility standards. The government will evaluate quotes based on technical acceptability, price, and past performance, with the intent to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the most advantageous offeror. Quote submissions are due by September 4, 2025, and contractors must comply with numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering areas such as labor standards, equal opportunity, supply chain security, and ethical business practices.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under the total small business classification, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement involves 94 line items of musical and audio equipment with quantities ranging from 1 to 12 units per item, representing a comprehensive equipment refresh for the military band. The total delivery timeframe is 120 days after contract award, with all items to be delivered to 1720 Cong W.L. Dickinson Drive in Montgomery, Alabama. Performance will occur at the delivery location where inspection and acceptance will be conducted by a government representative, and all equipment must include standard manufacturer's warranty provisions with comprehensive documentation for all purchased items.
