Broaches for Watervliet Arsenal

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal is soliciting quotes for specialized broach cutters for the Watervliet Arsenal through Request for Quote W911PT25QA009. The procurement involves manufacturing one each of six different T-15 HSS broaches, including single detail and box set broaches with specific drawing references, primarily requiring products from manufacturer Wolverine Broach Co Inc. A recent amendment modified one line item from a "BROACH FINISH SPOTFACE" to a "BROACH FINISH TAPERFACE" while completely deleting another line item from the original seven-item solicitation. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest evaluated bid that meets all material requirements and responsibility criteria. Critical delivery requirements emphasize that on-time performance is essential, with potential order termination for failure to meet the contractual delivery schedule of November 3, 2025. The solicitation deadline is September 25, 2025, leaving contractors with a tight response window.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333515 (Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees, though the original RFQ documentation referenced it as a Women-Owned Small Business procurement. Wolverine Broach Co Inc appears to be a key manufacturer referenced throughout the technical specifications and drawing requirements. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement involves precision manufacturing of specialized cutting tools with FOB destination delivery requirements. All items must be delivered to the Watervliet Arsenal Stock Record Account in Watervliet, New York, with performance taking place at this military facility. Contractors must comply with strict security and access requirements, including installation access policies, background checks, and potential Common Access Card issuance for facility entry.
