3-Axis Milling Machine

The Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Office of Acquisition and Grant Services is procuring one three-axis milling machine for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health through a Request for Quotation process. The machine must meet detailed technical specifications including X, Y, Z axis automatic feed capability, digital readout for X and Y axes, cross travel of at least 12 inches, long travel of at least 30 inches, a 3.375-inch quill diameter, and 230V/460V electrical compatibility. The procurement will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract to the technically acceptable offeror with the lowest price. Quotes must be submitted electronically to the contracting officer by September 18, 2025 at 12:00 PM ET, with the government no longer accepting additional questions after issuing Amendment 0002. Vendors must include company details, itemized pricing, delivery schedule, and warranty information in their submissions.

This procurement is designated as a 100% set-aside for small businesses under NAICS code 333517 with a size standard of 500 employees, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement requires delivery within 90 days of contract award along with basic installation and a minimum one-year warranty covering full device replacement. The equipment must be operational within 30 days of delivery and suitable for precision machining operations. Performance will take place at the FDA White Oak Campus in Silver Spring, Maryland, specifically in a ground floor location with a 20x20 foot shop space that already has a 230v electrical receptacle in place. The vendor will be responsible for machine delivery, offloading, and placement, with the government preferring a factory technician to perform installation, setup, and operational testing.
