About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, specifically the 36th Wing at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, has issued a Sources Sought notice for a specialized Scotchman Ironworker fabrication machine for the 36th Maintenance Squadron (36 MXS). This multi-functional machine is required to enhance metal fabrication capabilities for sustaining various aircraft including C-130, C-17, C-5, F-16, F-15, B-1, B-52, RQ-4, KC-135, and KC-10, as well as Aerospace Ground Equipment and War Reserve Materiel. The fabrication machine must meet 32 specific technical specifications, including dual operator capability with 5 stations, a 95-ton punch station, keyed punch ram for safety, LED work lights, electric stroke controls, and various shearing and notching capabilities compliant with ANSI B11.5 standards. This is strictly a market research notice for information and planning purposes only, not a formal solicitation, with responses being voluntary and non-binding. The response deadline is July 9, 2025, at 9:00 AM Chamorro Standard Time, with submissions to be emailed to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333517 for Machine Tool Manufacturing. The machine will enable on-site manufacturing of critical components to reduce aircraft downtime and accelerate sustainment operations in support of the 36 MXG's operational requirements. Key technical features include specialized components such as a urethane stripper assembly, laser light-bar shear, 90-degree V-notcher, deluxe punch and die package, 24-inch brake package, pipe notcher, weld coupon bender, roller conveyor, and specialized gauging and brake tables with scales and squaring mechanisms. The contractor will be responsible for delivering the machine to Tracy, California, with proper IUID tag plate per MIL-STD-130x requirements. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range has been disclosed in the available documentation, and the government has explicitly stated it will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this sources sought notice.
