About this opportunity

The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Tovey Engineering, Inc. for the purchase of 30k and 60k load cells. The load cells will support testing and calibration activities at AFMETCAL and must meet compatibility and uncertainty specifications for integration with existing equipment. Interested parties have fifteen days to submit evidence of their ability to provide the load cells, though only Tovey Engineering possesses the proprietary technology required.

The procurement involves 29 units of 30k load cells and 9 units of 60k load cells to be acquired over the next five years. No set-aside will be used. As the identified awardee, Tovey Engineering is the current incumbent for these load cell requirements with proprietary rights to the specified models. The anticipated total value is not published but can be estimated based on the published quantities and historical contract pricing.
