Dyno Upgrade

The GSA Federal Acquisition Service is conducting a sources sought notice for a comprehensive engine dynamometer system for the Marine Depot Maintenance Command. The solicitation seeks contractors capable of providing advanced dynamometer equipment, with a critical requirement that at least 90% of the equipment must be manufactured by the responding company. Respondents must submit a capability statement including their Unique Entity ID, socio-economic status, part numbers for available products, and previous contract references. Contractors are expected to demonstrate technical proficiency in supplying two engine dynamometers (1000HP and 1250HP) along with associated sub-base kits, driveshaft assemblies, load control systems, and data acquisition packages. The sources sought notice requires email submissions to gary.carson@gsa.gov by June 19, 2025, with the understanding that this is a preliminary step toward a potential future solicitation and does not require pricing at this stage.

The current pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors. While no specific award value is mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the dynamometer system suggests a significant procurement investment. The technical package includes an extended warranty option extending coverage to 5 years and a service startup that encompasses system commissioning, calibration, and operator training. The solicitation covers multiple complex components including throttle cables, communication interfaces, cooling systems, and various supporting hardware and accessories. Potential respondents will need to provide detailed documentation demonstrating their manufacturing capabilities, technical expertise, and ability to meet the stringent requirements of supplying high-performance engine dynamometer systems for marine maintenance operations.
