About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command - Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is conducting market research to identify potential vendors capable of supplying three (3) FM-6 Ferrogram Makers, specialized analytical instruments used in wear particle analysis for weapon system components. The ferrogram makers separate and deposit wear particles from lubricating oil or grease onto glass slides, enabling microscopic analysis of machinery component wear conditions through non-destructive optical techniques. This pre-solicitation notice is strictly for market research purposes and is not a request for quotes or proposals, with no commitment from the government to issue a solicitation based on responses. The agency has tentatively assigned NAICS Code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) to this requirement, though interested sources may recommend alternative codes for consideration. Interested vendors must submit a statement of interest on company letterhead via email to Skylar Summers at skylar.r.summersprince.civ@army.mil by August 19, 2025, and late responses will not be accepted.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified sources, though the government specifically aims to identify small business sources capable of performing the requirement. The small business size standard is established at 1,000 employees under the assigned NAICS code. The accompanying Justification and Approval document indicates the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) is seeking to procure one FM-6 Ferrogram Maker (Part Number 43010) with an estimated value that has been redacted from the documentation. The procurement includes shipping, handling, and Item Unique Identification (IUID) labeling as part of the requirements. The J&A suggests the AOAP may recommend restricting competition to a specific brand to prevent significant duplication of costs and maintain compatibility with existing consumable supplies and laboratory operations.
