About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command's 28th Maintenance Group (28 MXG) at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota is conducting a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) for parts and labor to repair an ARVA AT3035 Crane. This market research effort seeks to identify potential vendors capable of providing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) direct replacement parts and certified technicians qualified to conduct repairs on ARVA Cranes. Interested parties are required to submit detailed company information, including CAGE code, business size status, contact details, and documentation of qualifications for ARVA Crane repairs. The government will use the submitted information to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for the requirement. Responses must be electronically submitted to specified Air Force email addresses by 4:00 PM MDT on February 27, 2025, with the subject line "Sources Sought / RFI - ARVA AT3035 Crane Repair."

The pre-solicitation notice does not currently indicate a specific set-aside, though the government is considering a potential sole source approach for OEM parts and certified technicians. No specific award value or budget range is mentioned in the document. The procurement falls under NAICS category 811310 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of J036 for maintenance and repair of special industry machinery. The solicitation explicitly notes that this is a market research exercise and does not guarantee a contract award. Vendors are advised that if they do not intend to submit a proposal when the project is formally advertised, they should not respond to this sources sought notice. The government will review all vendor responses to determine if alternative companies can perform the required repairs and if aftermarket parts can meet their specific needs.
