About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command issued a Special Notice on April 21, 2026, seeking to procure one Pensky-Martens Flash Point Tester (Model PMA/500) for MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. This pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to compete for the award. The acquisition targets analytical laboratory instrument manufacturers in NAICS Code 334516 and is classified under Product Service Code 6640 for laboratory equipment and supplies. The Air Force will request quotes directly from at least three sources rather than posting the solicitation to the Government Point of Entry. The contracting points of contact are Contracting Specialist Amn Owen Harris and Contracting Officer Melissa Biggar at MacDill AFB.
The Flash Point Tester is required to support mandatory fuel quality control testing operations at MacDill Air Force Base in compliance with Technical Order 42B-1-1. The equipment must be certified by the manufacturer to perform tests according to specific ASTM International standards (D56, D93, D3828, D7236) and Energy Institute standards (IP 160, IP 523, IP 534), and must be fully calibrated in accordance with USAF Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory directives. All interested small business contractors must be capable of providing a minimum three-year manufacturer's warranty commencing upon delivery, along with manufacturer programming and technical data for PMEL calibration specifications prior to delivery. The quote submission deadline is May 6, 2026, though the Air Force notes that funds are not presently available and reserves the right to cancel the solicitation at any time without obligation. Offerors should contact the identified contracting specialists for additional technical requirements and details regarding the direct quote request process.
