The Department of the Air Force's 9th Contracting Squadron at Beale Air Force Base is seeking sources for a specialized Firearms Ultrasonic Cleaner to maintain military weapons including the M240, M249, M16, M18, M19, and .50 Cal.

Interested vendors must submit their capability information by January 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST to TSgt Paul Castillo via email, providing details such as company information, tax identification number, unique entity identifier, and SAM.gov registration status. The government will conduct market research to understand potential qualified sources and their size classifications, with no reimbursement provided for response costs. Evaluation will focus on a vendor's ability to meet technical specifications, including the system's capacity to clean complex weapon components without causing damage.
This procurement is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333998 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 700 employees. While no specific award value is mentioned, the Statement of Need indicates the system must use California-compliant cleaning solutions, include safety features, and provide a 2-year parts and labor warranty. The ultrasonic cleaner must have programmable controls via touch-screen HMI, a filtration system for contaminant removal, and minimum tank dimensions of 50"x25"x12". Vendors must be capable of providing a non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning solution that meets VOC compliance standards. The solicitation encourages potential suppliers to suggest alternative NAICS codes if they believe a more appropriate classification exists, demonstrating the government's openness to industry input and market expertise.
