About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is soliciting quotes through RFQ FA462125Q0045 for one cable braider to support the 22nd Maintenance Squadron (22 MXS) at McConnell Air Force Base. The procurement specifically requires a B10-24H cable braider from Wardwell or equal, featuring a tubular steel frame, 24 carriers, vertical operation, direct drive variable speed motor with foot pedal, and capability to handle 1/4 to 2 inch wire bundle configurations. The equipment must include self-lubricating horn gears, maintain a maximum 80dB noise rating, and come with an operating station equipped with start, jog, stop, and emergency stop buttons. The contract will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by 10:00 AM CST on August 27, 2025, with quotes due by 10:00 AM CST on September 3, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) with a 500-employee size standard, though the government files indicate it may also be structured as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the solicitation materials. The contractor must deliver the single cable braider within 180 calendar days of contract award and provide a six-month warranty covering materials, workmanship, and manufacturing defects. Performance will take place in Wichita, Kansas, with delivery to the 22 MXG RA at McConnell Air Force Base. The cable braider will support local braiding of cables, wires, and tubing for KC-135 and KC-46 aircraft maintenance operations, reducing the need for outsourcing equipment repairs and directly supporting the wing's operational maintenance efficiency.
