COMPETITIVE – Commercial Machine Shop Equipment Maintenance

The Naval Sea Systems Command is soliciting offers for preventive maintenance and repair services for commercial machine shop equipment at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. The solicitation covers comprehensive maintenance services for various manufacturing equipment including lathes, mills, water jets, presses, band saws, and autoclaves from manufacturers such as Haas, Bridgeport, and Hurco across multiple buildings at the facility. Contractors must provide factory-certified or industry-trained technicians capable of performing mechanical, electrical, air, coolant, and lubrication system maintenance tasks. The evaluation will be conducted using a trade-off analysis with technical capability being the most important factor, followed by past performance as the second most important factor, and pricing as the third consideration. Following multiple amendments extending deadlines, the final response due date is August 18, 2025, and offerors must maintain proposal validity through September 30, 2025.

This solicitation was originally designated as a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside but the current amendment indicates no set-aside designation is being used, suggesting the procurement approach may have changed during the amendment process. The contract structure includes three primary contract line items: annual preventative maintenance services, daily service rates including travel and living expenses, and as-needed repair services to be negotiated separately. The total contract value ranges from a minimum order of $1,000 to a maximum of $1,500,000 over the five-year performance period from September 10, 2025 to September 9, 2030. The work will be performed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division facility in Indiana, where contractors will be responsible for maintaining specialized manufacturing equipment critical to the facility's operations. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the available documentation.
