About this opportunity
The 187th Fighter Wing, under the Department of the Army Alabama Army National Guard, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors and gather technical data on commercial kitchen equipment. The procurement seeks information on two primary equipment types: a steam jacketed electric tilting kettle with a 25-40 gallon capacity featuring a self-contained 24 kW electric boiler and integrated water treatment system, and a gas steam compartment cooker with natural gas fuel, automatic controls, and full insulation. Vendors must provide detailed product specifications, certifications, and relevant documentation demonstrating compliance with industry standards including ASSE approval, ASME construction, and National Board registration. This RFI is intended to support development of the Statement of Requirements and budget planning, though funding is not currently available for the requirement. The response deadline for the RFI is April 3, 2026, at 5:00 PM local time, with the notice having been posted on March 23, 2026.
This pre-solicitation opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. No incumbent contractor or current vendor information has been identified in this RFI phase. The contract does not specify an award value or budget range at this time, as the purpose of the RFI is to gather market information to inform future budgeting and requirements development. The specific quantities of equipment needed have not been detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the 187th Fighter Wing is still in the information-gathering phase prior to formal solicitation. Interested small businesses should submit comprehensive product information and technical specifications by the April 3, 2026 deadline to be considered as potential sources for the eventual procurement action.
