6-inch Boring Mill with tool support

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal seeks to acquire a large numerically controlled, multifunction boring mill through this pre-solicitation notice. The machine must be capable of independently and simultaneously controlling motions on six axes and include an automatic tool changer, control pendant, machine table, bolt-on rotary indexer, and chip conveyor. It must be able to automatically perform milling, drilling, tapping, boring, and counterboring operations on workpieces up to 80,000 pounds and machine castings with specified geometric tolerances using an outboard tool support feature. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by December 29, 2023.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The RIPD provides detailed technical requirements for the machine and its components, interfaces, testing, training, documentation, and support. It specifies the machine must be able to machine castings with a figure included in an appendix as an example part. Evaluation will be based on the criteria in the RIPD.
