Colibrium Additive Maintenance

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify contractors capable of providing semi-annual preventive maintenance and technical support for two GE M2 Additive Manufacturing 3D printers located at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The procurement seeks sources with demonstrated expertise, capabilities, and experience in maintaining complex additive manufacturing equipment in depot environments. Key requirements include performing preventive maintenance twice annually within scheduled 12-month periods, providing technical support via telephone or email from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday, furnishing all necessary materials and labor, and following Original Equipment Manufacturer guidelines established by GE. The Government is particularly interested in contractors' past experience on similar complex projects, facility capabilities, staff composition, and approaches to configuration management, parts obsolescence, and diminishing manufacturing sources mitigation. Contractors must submit responses to the Contractor Capability Survey by 11:00 am EST on April 12, 2026, via email to Joshua Sharpe (joshua.sharpe.6@us.af.mil) and Traci Chance (traci.chance@us.af.mil), with submission attachments limited to 10 MB per email in readable electronic formats compatible with firewall transmission.

This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation, though the Government will make final set-aside determinations after analyzing small business responses and conducting additional market research. No incumbent contractor or estimated award value is identified in the available documentation. The scope of work involves maintaining two specific M2 3D printer units (serial numbers M2-900141 and M2-900098), with preventive maintenance events requiring a minimum of 30 days advance notice and performance between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. Any corrective maintenance or repairs discovered during preventive maintenance require a written estimate submitted within three business days and Contracting Officer approval before work commences. The Government encourages interested contractors to pursue joint ventures or teaming arrangements and to identify portions of work suitable for small business subcontracting participation.
